The SAV Issue · Monthly print
A new issue.
Every month.
SAV's own local publication, made available inside participating Sav Network stores. Local picks, new businesses and offers, with advertising from brands that want to stay visible beyond the screen.
01 · What it is
Not a coupon book.
A publication.
The SAV Issue is a media property SAV publishes every month. Local discovery and community content give people a reason to pick it up. Advertising sits inside something they actually want to browse.
Sponsored pages are always labelled. The front cover stays editorial.

Digital ads disappear.
The issue sits on the counter.

- It goes home.Picked up with a coffee, read at the kitchen table, passed to someone else.
- It comes back.A fresh issue every month keeps your brand in front of the same neighbourhoods.
- It's local.Distributed in the convenience stores people already walk into, a few minutes from your door.

Where is it distributed?
Inside participating stores in the Sav Network, which today is 7 convenience stores in Ontario. The distribution list for each issue is confirmed before it goes to print, and your proposal names the stores.

Can SAV design my ad?
Yes. Send finished artwork, or tell us you need SAV to design it and we'll include design in your proposal.
Can I include a QR code?
Yes. Any ad can carry a QR code to your website, menu, booking page or offer. If you don't have a page worth landing on, SAV can arrange a campaign landing page with our website partner.
Can I book multiple issues?
Yes. Book a single issue, or reserve the same placement across 3, 6 or 12 issues and rotate your creative as your offers change. Multi-issue bookings are quoted in your proposal.
What is the deadline?
Booking and artwork deadlines are set per issue and posted on this page as soon as each issue opens for booking.
Can I advertise in every store?
The issue is one publication distributed across its participating stores, so an ad in the issue travels with every copy. Your proposal confirms the stores carrying the issue you book.
Can I combine print with other SAV media?
Yes. The issue works as another layer of a SAV campaign: pair it with in-store screens, storefront windows, counter cards or a landing page, and we quote it as one plan.
How much does it cost?
Rates are quoted per issue and depend on the format and how many issues you book. Request rates and you'll have a written proposal within two business days.
