Why advertise ?
Thinking about advertising? Advertise with us!
Magazine and Online
The truth is people like to use local business if they can and it is a great pleasure to hear regular customers tell us how they are pleased with the response they get.
- It is much cheaper than yellow pages and other publications, where your ad often gets swamped anyway, and is far more effective. There is a discount for block bookings.
- We give a personal service, your business is important to us too.
- Because the magazine lasts for a month it is easy for people to keep and re-find any ad that interests them, whereas loose leaflets often feel like “clutter”, and meet their doom. - Appearing again reminds people of their interest.
- By focusing in the area you want to work you will save on travelling time and costs too, and get to know your customers.
- We offer ad design at a tiny fraction of the usual cost. We are very happy to discuss your ad design. We want it to be good too!
- The magazine is delivered to 9000 homes every month. It is well read and most people keep it for reference during the month. Another 1000 copies are placed in shops, cafes, waiting rooms etc in the area.
- The advertisers in the magazine tend to be good at what they do, just appearing tells people you are prepared to be judged locally and makes it clear you are not some “fly-by-night”.
- Because of the great service our advertisers offer, the people in the area have learned to trust the magazine as a source of information.
- Sometimes it is hard to reconcile yourself to paying for advertising, it can feel as though people should KNOW about you already..…but the fact is this is a busy world and people need access to ready information they can rely on. It is generally recommended that people invest 20% of their business in advertising in fact. Healthy businesses advertise, regarding it as much a part of the normal business costs a transport or premises. But with the directory you can use your advertising budget VERY effectively..maybe even reduce it:
- the prices are deliberately kept low to allow access to all local advertisers – particularly when you think that this includes delivery in a magazine that will be read and kept.
- the magazine is targeted in an area and is likely to produce work within that vicinity and so you may save time and costs when giving estimates and time scheduling in general
- if your business has premises then the people MOST likely to use you are the people who would find it easy to get to.
- There is a page giving the rates and showing the other information. So, if you have been wondering about giving it a go, give us a call. We will be delighted to answer any questions you may have. Or email. Or use the is an online order form. – Whatever you prefer.
