HOW OFTEN ARE MAGAZINES DELIVERED?
All publications are bi-monthly and distribution starts in the first week of the relevant month.
WHY SHOULD I ADVERTISE WITH Word GETS AROUND MAGAZINE?
For most businesses to maintain and/or grow sales there are three key elements required: face to face networking/promotion, digital media, and print media. We are experts in print media and how to get your name and message across to residents and really grow and expand your business.
HOW OFTEN CAN I CHANGE MY ADVERT?
Each issue if you wish so long as we have new artwork sent to us by the 15th day of each cut off month prior to your advertisement appearing.
HOW ARE THE MAGAZINES DELIVERED?
Our magazine is delivered by a local team. We do not deliver to every single letterbox in every single street in any given area. We do not cover certain flats or houses due to access, no footpaths, known dangers or simply where some areas/roads are less responsive to the adverts in our publications. The number of letterboxes we deliver to is a guide, and we always endeavour to over deliver from the numbers stated in our literature and website.
We also place many magazines in each area in libraries, post offices, health surgeries and coffee shops. This is a purely complimentary service and is not guaranteed.

Why use print? isn't it all digital these days?
Studies have suggested that print advertising is the most cost-effective form of marketing with a higher return on investment than most digital media. In fact, 76% of small businesses state that their ideal marketing mix is a combination of print and digital communications.
5 reasons why print is the ideal medium to grow your business:
Tangible: Print is a physical medium, meaning it can stay around for longer while internet ads and emails are more disposable. It is more likely to be kept for longer and read by others.
Branding: Print is a great way to solidify your brand. Ads should carry a consistent look to them in terms of fonts, colours and imagery to establish greater recognition.
Credibility: Printed media often carries a greater sense of legitimacy due to the over saturation of online display advertising, which can be overwhelming for the audience.
Less saturation: With more and more businesses moving to advertising solely on the internet, print media now has an easier job in finding its voice and cutting through the noise.
Engagement: Consumers are more engaged when reading printed material than they are on the web, where pages are skimmed. People are more likely to fully take in what you are saying.
