Readers’ survey results

Recent editions of A Berrylands Companion has had a readers’ survey. Thank you to all those people who have kindly submitted their answers by post or email. It has been interesting to see the answers!!

The majority of readers have their copy delivered and most keep it as a reference for a while, some even pass it on to others.

Whilst it was felt that there was a good ratio of adverts to articles, quite a few people would like to see more local news and events.

As the magazine is monthly, quite often the news is ‘old news’ by the time I could include it, and it would have been in other weekly publications or on social media.

Obviously, if there are local events or news, I would love the chance to include it!

Most of the articles were read and enjoyed, with a few exceptions.

It would seem the most popular are the Community and Local events pages plus the What’s on monthly listing. So perhaps that is an indication that if you are holding an event, then send in the details for inclusion.

The puzzles have a good response, and the actual adverts are well liked, with several businesses used by quite a few people. Some gave really good reports of the work done and the service provided. Which is all good news and just what this magazine is meant to provide.

It would seem that the least enjoyed articles were Home Interiors and products, finance, beauty, travel and there doesn’t seem many pet lovers out there!!!
