To Qualify:
- Run three ads (full page or larger) for any one product in a single month
- Free ad must be for the same product
- Your free ad must run during the month in which it is earned
- Free ad does not count toward earned rate frequency
NOTE: If ads vary in cost, the less expensive unit qualifies for the program.
Baker’s Dozen Discount Program
Run 12 paid insertions for the same product during a 12-month period and get a thirteenth insertion for the same product free of charge. Your 12 insertions can be different ad units placed in full run or demographic editions.

This advertising program will allow our high-volume advertisers to take advantage of a higher frequency rate based on their calendar-year gross spend and total earned paid pages. To qualify, spend $750,000 or more in the domestic edition of NEJM over a calendar year. Your final earned frequency will be adjusted to the next highest frequency to form your new “locked-in” frequency rate for the following year. This program will save your clients thousands of dollars over the course of the year. Since the higher frequency rate is locked in for the year, no short rating is necessary, saving valuable time.
Save up to 15%. Run a paid insertion twice a month for the same product for three consecutive months and get a seventh ad free in the second or third month. All ads must be one page or larger. The least expensive ad unit is your free ad.
Save up to 20% by combining the Two by Three and Baker's Dozen Discount Programs
50% prescribing info page discount
Run three or more prescribing information (PI) pages with your ad and receive a 50% discount on your B&W page rate beginning with your third PI page. Free ads from discount programs do not count toward your earned frequency rate.
Earn one print page toward your 2010 earned frequency discount for every $6,000 you spend on NEJM.org and/or JWatch.org in 2010. For example: spend $150,000 and boost your earned frequency rate by 25 pages (150,000/6,000 = 25). Minimum online spend: $100,000 for the calendar year. US only.
