Advertising

Are you interested in reaching adults 55 years of age and older? The West End Seniors’ Network (WESN) offers three avenues of advertising for businesses, organizations, institutes, and members of the public.

Advertisement details including size, colour and pricing, are below. All advertisement charges are subject to 5% GST (except for exempt organizations).

Disclaimer for Readers: WESN does not endorse or verify advertisements. Advertisements may not reflect the views of WESN.

Monthly Newsletter

Our monthly newsletter is distributed in print and via email to over 2000 members, clients, apartment buildings and businesses in the West End, Coal Harbour and Yaletown neighbourhoods of Vancouver. This newsletter is kept close at hand by our readers all month long, and it provides information on programs, services and topics of interest to older adults.

We accept a limited amount of advertising for each monthly newsletter. To confirm availability or if you have any questions, please contact Kaitlin Hong Tai, Manager of Programs, at programs@wesn.ca or 604-669-5051 ext 1.

All full page size ads are standard letter size (8.5″ x 11″ or 21.5cm x 28cm).

Classified Ads

If you are an older adult (55 years of age or older) or you are trying to reach older adults with a product or service tailored to the population, we offer limited space to run classified ads in our newsletter.

Classified ads are text only (no photographs or graphics). Ads can be up to 280 characters (including spaces) in length.
