Will Chimes design advertisements?

Chimes is published nearly every Friday during the school year.

What is the advertising deadline?
In order for an ad to be placed in the Friday's Chimes, ad copy must be received by the Monday preceding the publication date. We cannot guarantee that your ad will be placed as we have limited space in Chimes.

Who reads Chimes?
Copies of Chimes are read by Calvin students living on and off-campus and by Calvin professors. The readership is approximately 4,000.

What are the terms of payment?
Soon after your ad appears in Chimes you will receive a bill and a copy of the page on which your ad ran. Payment is due within two weeks of billing. If you have prepaid you will be sent only a tear sheet. Please note that prepaying does not guarantee ad placement.
