Advertising in The Village Emporium works.

On average 80% of advertisers continue to re-book because: -

• Local people use local businesses.
• The magazines are kept, read and re-read – it’s a conscious decision to enjoy a cup of tea or glass of wine while reading an enjoyable magazine.
• Readers value the locally focused information.
• We reach customers in rural areas, often with few services on their doorsteps.
• We ‘talk’ to customers that don’t use social media – don’t forget, not everyone likes it!
• Readers trust our publications. This benefits the credibility of your brand.
• You will be right there when they need services or products or are looking for places to go.
• Our team delivers our magazines free, through the letterbox, and we monitor our distributors using GPS tracking. The bi-monthly format gives you flexibility to change ads to reflect seasonal, topical and promotional needs.
• You get a free entry in our online directory for the duration of your advert.
