Why is advertising in The Crookham/Fleet Directory a good idea for local businesses?
High Quality Publication First impressions count so we use a top quality paper and an excellent local printer to ensure that the magazine looks and feels great. We also have fabulous local cover photos which grab readers’ attention.
Local Magazine The best business is local business. Logistically it is easier to manage local customers and the chance of repeat business/referrals is so much higher.
Features, Puzzles and other content… The Farnham Directory is not just full of adverts, we have features, recipe pages, puzzles, etc. Local residents tell me they enjoy reading my magazines and if they are reading them then they are seeing your advert regularly too.
Making Advertising Easy for Everyone Don’t worry if you don’t have an advert, I work with a great Designer and I will organise everything for you at a very reasonable cost (design of a 1/4 page advert is £15 plus VAT).
Shelf Life One of the most important characteristics that makes my magazine special is that readers will keep it. Time and again people tell me they keep their latest magazine for reference, giving them immediate access to advertisers when their services are needed.
Repetitive Advertising Readers may not immediately need a service but they will recognise and develop a familiarity with businesses who regularly advertise and get in touch when they need their service. Repetitive advertising undoubtedly yields the best results and the affordability of my advertising rates means you can afford to advertise regularly.
Affordable Advertising I am pleased to say that I am told my rates are very reasonable which means you can benefit from advertising regularly. For example an eighth of a page advert only costs £16 per month plus VAT (min 6mth booking).
Distribution I print 3000 copies per month and alternate between two different distribution areas so 6000 different homes, all of which have been specifically selected, receive the magazine over two months.
Website All current advertisers also appear in the directory on my website free of charge, making it even easier for readers to find your details and get in touch.
So what are you waiting for? I look forward to hearing from you!
