After placing over 10 lakh ads, here's what our Chennai media team has learned about what works in the Madras newspaper market:
Each ad category peaks on specific days in Chennai. Here's our day-wise guide:
Not sure which day works best? Call our Chennai team - we'll recommend the exact edition and day for maximum response.
Every Chennai newspaper rewards repeat bookings. Here's what's currently available:
If your ad needs repeated exposure - matrimonial, job vacancy, property listing - always opt for a multi-insertion package. The cost per response drops dramatically in Chennai's competitive classified ad market.
Tamil Nadu authorities require your Name Change ad in one English and one Tamil newspaper. We offer pre-bundled two-newspaper packages - bookable in a single transaction:
All packages include next-day booking confirmation. Call us to pick the right combination for your requirement.
In Chennai's classified sections, readers scan fast. Lead with the most important detail - "2 BHK Flat OMR Ready Possession" outperforms "Spacious 2 Bedroom Available Near IT Park." For Tamil ads in Daily Thanthi, Dinakaran, or Dinamalar, our Chennai team can help draft and optimise your ad copy in Tamil at no extra charge - a small investment that dramatically improves response rates for ads targeting the city's Tamil-speaking majority.
We booked a matrimonial ad in Daily Thanthi for our daughter. The Ads2Publish team advised us to go for the Sunday supplement and we received 40+ genuine responses within 10 days. Their Tamil ad copy assistance was excellent - the wording was just right for our community.
I needed a Name Change ad urgently for my passport appointment. Ads2Publish booked The Hindu + The Hindu Tamil combo the same afternoon. The ad appeared the next morning. Very smooth and the price was far better than what I was quoted at the newspaper office directly.
We placed recruitment ads in The Hindu for our engineering company for 3 years through Ads2Publish. Their advice on which Wednesday edition worked best for technical roles in Madras saved us significant money and brought in much better candidates.
Booked a property ad in The Hindu Property Plus for our flat in Sholinganallur. Ads2Publish recommended the Saturday edition and we had 5 serious inquiries within 3 days. Their understanding of the Chennai real estate market is really impressive.
Our company needed a display ad for a product launch targeting Chennai's IT corridor. Ads2Publish advised us on Times of India OMR edition and helped design the artwork. The response to the campaign was very positive. Professional team throughout.
I wanted to publish a matrimonial ad in Malayala Manorama for my son - we are a Malayali family settled in Chennai. Ads2Publish handled it perfectly and even advised me about the best Sunday edition for the Chennai Malayali readership. Highly recommend.

Chennai - formerly known as Madras - is the capital of Tamil Nadu and one of India's four major metros, with a population of over 1 crore in the city and around 1.1 crore in the broader metropolitan area. As the cultural capital of South India, Chennai is home to a uniquely literate population with deep roots in print media. The city's newspaper readership is among the highest in India on a per-capita basis.
Despite being a modern IT hub with major tech parks along the OMR and Grand Southern Trunk Road, print advertising in Madras continues to deliver results that digital channels often cannot match. The Hindu carries an authority in Chennai that no other paper in India replicates in its city - a family's announcement in The Hindu carries social weight. Daily Thanthi and Dinakaran reach millions of Tamil readers who are active property buyers, job seekers, and matrimonial ad respondents every single day. Name Change ads remain a legal necessity for every Chennai resident dealing with the Passport Seva Kendra. Obituary and condolence notices in Madras are still published in print as a mark of respect.
Chennai's newspaper landscape - 15+ papers across 4 languages serving both the English-educated elite and the Tamil-speaking majority - requires expert navigation. Our Chennai team's 21 years of on-the-ground experience in this city makes the selection effortless for you.
