INTRODUCTION...
DISTRIBUTION...
The Asian Express Newspaper has been domiant in the northern landscape of Britain for over 8 years. Now as the largest and longest established regional ethnic newspaper in the UK, we bring the National Asian Express Newspaper.
We have developed an exclusive and unique method of distribution, building a strong alliance with Asian related businesses within the heart of densely Asian populated areas. The Asian Express is available totally FREE to pick up from any of these numerous outlets. Due to our distribution method, we guarantee to penetrate the homes of Asian people, as certain outlets MUST be visited on a regular basis - such as butchers for Halal meat, Asian sweet shops, grocers for spices, Asian boutiques & fabric outlets, Bollywood video and music stores, restaurants etc.
Astonishingly, Britain does not have a FREE National Ethnic newspaper. The meagre handful of publications that do exist are either paid for titles or online versions of mismatched news/feature items. We have always endeavoured to deliver a fantastic read - non political and steering away from religious bias, as well as provide an aesthetically pleasing newspaper for advertisers to showcase their products and services. The ethos of the Asian Express is to ensure a greater focus on it’s readers and their interests. It therefore specifically targets news and features the South-Asian communities, businesses, entrepreneurs, students, charities and other organisations. The publication is available as a FREE pick-up & is distributed to an extensive number of wellfrequented outlets and sites up & down th UK via a rigorously ‘targeted distribution’ check list. Whilst we target the readership age range of 16-55, it is equally popular with other age groups.
250,000 COPIES ARE CIRCULATED THROUGHOUT THE UK EACH FORTNIGHT

CIRCULATION & READERSHIP... Our targeted distribution ensures that for every paper distributed, three people will read it. This means that each issue, for our 250,000 copies across the UK, there are over 3/4 of a million readers. Our audience is highly varied, largely covering ages 16-55, but not exclusively. Obviously our readership is largely Asian, but not exclusively so.
