Advertising space in the Assemblies Outreach magazine is used to help inform readers about the work of Christian Brethren ministries in NSW, and about businesses and events which may be of interest to the readers.  Income derived from the sale of advertising space significantly helps fund the cost of the magazine's production. Typically in the past, about 15% of the magazine's pages have contained paid advertising.

The usual print run is 600 copies but not all these are needed for paid subscriptions. Full-time workers amongst the Christian Brethren receive a free copy and other free copies are distributed from time to time to increase awareness of the magazine amongst the NSW Assemblies. It can be said that the number of readers is considerably greater than 600 (because potentially a whole family reads one magazine) and that the majority of readers are involved with a Christian Brethren assembly or an associated ministry in NSW.

Sometimes larger print runs are undertaken for wider distribution of supplements such as the 12 page Commended NSW Home Workers Supplement in the October 2010 issue and the 4 page CBCS Annual Report insert in the December 2009 issue.  In these cases the distribution was approximately 1000 and 800 copies respectively.

Six issues of the magazine are published each calendar year. The aim is to publish around the middle of the months February, April, June, August, October and December. Each magazine has at least 32 pages (A5 size) – all of which are printed in full colour on high quality paper.

Also, subscribers have an option to purchase a PDF version of the magazine. This is emailed to those who take up this option on the day the printed magazines are mailed through Australia Post. Advertisers should note that any email or web page addresses included in their advert will be 'live' in the PDF version, enabling direct 'click-through' to those destinations on the Internet.

The Advertising Rates listed in the tables below are applicable for the calendar year 2011 and are unchanged from last year.
