Our magazines are delivered directly through letter boxes, straight into the hands of our readers. We use a number of different distribution channels to ensure our magazines get delivered monthly

Choosing the Right Size: The size of your advert should depend on your marketing goals and budget. Here are our most popular options:

• Full Page: Best for high-impact visibility and detailed campaigns.
• Half Page: Ideal for reaching audiences with concise messages at a lower cost.
• Quarter Page: Perfect for small businesses or those new to magazine advertising.

We recommend discussing your specific needs with our advertising team, who can provide tailored advice based on your target audience and objectives.

Determining the Duration: The duration of your advertising should align with your campaign goals:

• Short-Term (1-3 months): Suitable for promoting specific events or offers.
• Medium-Term (4-6 months): Great for building brand recognition and targeting seasonal trends.
• Long-Term (6 months to 1 year): Best for establishing your brand as a market leader and maintaining continuous visibility.

Multiple studies suggest that repeated exposure over time significantly enhances audience recall and engagement. Thus, we generally recommend a minimum advertising period of three months to maximize effectiveness.

Next Steps: To make the most informed decision, consider scheduling a consultation with our team. We can help analyze your advertising needs and recommend the best size and duration for your adverts. Call us at 01202 894397.

Absolutely! We understand that not every business has in-house graphic design capabilities, so when you purchase advertising from us, we offer complimentary design services to ensure your advert looks professional and captures the essence of your brand.

Here’s how it works:

1. Send Us Your Materials: Provide us with your logo, any high-quality images you would like to include, and the text or key messages you want to feature in your advert. If you have specific brand colors or fonts, please send those details as well to ensure brand consistency.
2. Design Drafting: Our skilled graphic designers will use your materials to create an initial draft of your advert. We strive to capture your vision while also advising on best practices for magazine advertising.
3. Review and Feedback: Once the first draft is ready, we’ll send it to you for review. You can suggest any changes or improvements you’d like to see.
4. Final Approval: After you approve the design, we’ll prepare the artwork for print and ensure it meets all the technical requirements for high-quality reproduction in our magazine.

Timeframe: From receiving your materials to final approval, the entire process typically takes between 1-2 weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and speed of your feedback.

Getting Started: To initiate the design process, simply reach out to our advertising team with your materials and we’ll guide you from there. Our goal is to make advertising as easy and effective for you as possible.

By offering these design services, we ensure that even advertisers without graphic resources can effectively reach their audience through our magazine. Don’t hesitate to contact us to get started!
