Our Story
Back in early 1970, our associate publisher and our two co-publishers had an
idea. They were fed-up and frustrated by having to pay a fortune to place
classified ads to sell their respective cars in The San Francisco Chronicle.
During a Saturday poker night, they came up with the
crazy idea of starting their own coupon and classified
newspaper. Their idea was to keep it simple, make it
free (to pick up), keep the coupon and classified ads
cheap (3 line for a dollar!). Keep print advertising for
businesses affordable, and make it easy.
In May of 1970, they took a leap of faith and with the
help of their family and friends, they pulled together
and started our newspaper: The San Francisco
Advertiser.
39 years later, we are still doing all the things they had set out to do and
more. In addition to our classified newspaper with an expanded coupon cart
section, we have our newly improved website
http://www.sfadvertiser.com
which is full of classified ads and coupons from local San Francisco Bay Area
businesses.
Today, our team has remained true to the mission and values that started our
company: we are still love to help our readers find the best deals and save money! And, we're still the most affordable place to advertise your business (and we
work!) in San Francisco!
