Advertising rates for 2024

Let’s keep things simple shall we? I like simple – it’s good for you and it’s good for me. So here are the rates. They’re great value. I’ve done all I can to keep them as low as possible so they represent great value for all businesses whatever the size.

I’d also like your advert to work for you – because if it works for you then it works for me. Which is why I don’t want you to book for just one advert. Research, anecdotal evidence and comment from many of the regular advertisers in the magazines suggests that advertising messages are more effective if they are repeated.

“Consistent Regular Advertising = Familiarity = Trust = More Customers!”

By all means book a one-off advert – the rates are below and I’m sure you will find them attractive in their own right. But book and pay for just three adverts, boost your advert’s potential and get 5% off the cost of your booking.
