Fantastic team to work with (no pushy sales tactics). We have had a great response rate to our Advertorial and follow up adverts that were suggested by the team. We look forward to working with them in the future. Lora – AquaBabies Wiltshire.
I received over 21 calls in 3 weeks and paid for the advert in 2 jobs. PJE - BOA. I’m very pleased with the great response from my advert and the article that appeared in ‘A Local Life’. I would thoroughly recommend local businesses to advertise here as it’s an interesting, professional and well designed free magazine with a wide readership. C. Truscott, Pilates. We have advertised in “a Local Life” for about a year and are delighted with the response and have seen many new faces in our sale room. We are committed to advertising in this media not solely because of the response but also the excellent advice and personal understanding of our requirements from the owner, Andre. The advice and creativity has been invaluable to us. We look forward to a long and successful working relationship. Wessex Auction Rooms. A Local Life is a bimonthly community magazine focusing on Bradford on Avon and the surrounding area.
