Testimonials

Kind words from our neighbours.

It’s great to get feedback, good and bad, from the people you are trying to serve, and so comments from advertisers and readers alike are always welcome. Thankfully they are invariably positive – for which I am very grateful – and nice to share with potential advertisers. So here are a few of the unsolicited things people have said about the magazines.

From advertisers

“The adverts in both the magazines and the leaflet drops have been really effective, new enquiries coming daily! Many thanks.”

DanLek-Trix Ltd

“I recently launched a new Personal Trainer business and my first thought was to advertise in the BS9 Mag! Andy was brilliant and helped me put together a plan that included a full-page ad, leaflet drop and editorial piece. I’m blown away with the response I’ve had! It’s been absolutely brilliant and beyond my expectations. Thank you so much to Andy and the wonderful BS9 Mag.”

“I’ve been advertising my cycle repair business ‘Boing Bicycles’ for four years now in the BS9 and BS6+8 magazines. Month on month it’s fair to say that my new business leads from the magazines target postcodes has noticeably increased. I’d say to any business in the area honestly give it a go – in these modern times with omni-channel advertising and the rise and rise of online ads and social media ads people still love to read a proper magazine that’s strong on local content. It has unquestionably helped my business in these areas – maybe it can help yours.”

“Absolutely delighted with the response I am getting from my adverts, please can you take this email as confirmation that I would like to go in as usual for the next 6 months.”

Paul Whittaker

“Advertising with Andy at BS9 is great and so easy. My business has benefited massively and he’s a great support to the community and those he deals with.”

Samantha CrossHealer, Teacher and Practitioner

“Thanks Andy, your magazine gives me a superb return”

Graham CookGarden Maintenance

“I have been advertising with the Bristol Nine magazine since my business started 10 years ago. Andy, the amazingly supportive editor kindly wrote a testimonial about the foot treatment he had had from me and the response from that started me off. Since then his colourful and eye-catching adverts are always effective and there is always a good response from the adverts placed. Andy is always friendly and helpful and many of my regular patients often comment on how much they look forward to the publication and rely on it for local traders and community events. A very effective publication.”

Philippa CookFoot Health Practitioner, Bristol Foot Clinic

From readers

“Congratulations on all your hard work in producing such a brilliant publication each month. Being a resident of Westbury, I’m always pleased to see it land on the mat, through our letterbox.”

ICWestbury on Trym

“Thank you once again for your magazine which is very welcome in this house, you may not realise it, but a little thing like the Bristol Nine magazine can make a huge difference to people’s lives, like a little friend that pops through the letter box once a month.”

SMStoke Bishop

“Having met you now and chatted a little bit about the magazine I’m becoming ever clearer about how much work you put into it, how well put together it is and what a great source for local information along the whole gamut it is. It’s a little gem.”

RPStoke Bishop

“Your BS9 magazine is always packed with such relevant information, and I’m so pleased the circulation has been extended to Sea Mills and Coombe Dingle. I have several friends there who now also love it.”
