Sweet & Sour News Advertising Rates

The Cherrydale Citizens Association publishes the Sweet & Sour News every other month — six times per year. This newsletter is hand-delivered to the nearly 1300 households and over 100 businesses in Cherrydale. Another 100 are picked up by patrons of our local businesses. Year 2010 Census figures show Cherrydale’s 1178 households with 3169 residents. Further demographic details are linked here from the Arlington County web site. Since the 2010 Census, Cherrydale has grown with new apartments at The Bromptons of Cherrydale.

The Cherrydale Citizens Association sells advertising in the Sweet & Sour News, with ads ranging from business card size (1/8 page) to a full page. All ads are run in black & white.  We cannot guarantee a particular location within the newsletter for any ad. Sweet & Sour News has no facilities for ad composition and preparation.

Due to the tremendous support of our current advertisers, and our space and time limitations for Sweet & Sour News, we are limited in the number and size of new ads we can accept. First priority for new advertisers will be given to current business members of the Cherrydale Citizens Association.

Preferred format for advertiser-provided electronic copy is .doc, .jpg, .pdf, .tif or other usable format.
