READ WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT YATTAR YATTAR!
Wyn Williams, RN Williams & Sons, St Asaph: ‘Having advertised with Yattar Yattar for over a year, I only have positive things to say. The quality of the magazine is obvious, from the captivating articles to the new features that follow current trends, but it is the availability that really makes it stand out. As a free of charge publication, positioned prominently within major supermarkets, customers now see it as an essential pick up with their weekly shop. In these times of austerity the use of a high quality publication without cost to the customer is essential in any companies marketing budget.’ Tom Hunt, marketing manager, Ludlow Food Centre: ‘We have been advertising, submitting editorial and even doing competitions in Yattar Yattar for over a year now and love being part of the magazine. It’s an interesting read with real people and information that is relevant to our locale. We have had great response to being part of the magazine and especially like the fact that it seems to be everywhere. Long may it continue!’ Martin Jones, Vaughan Davies, Mold: ‘A highly effective way of reaching readers. A stunning image and your contact details are all you need.’ Alun Prichard, National Trust Wales: ‘Fun, attractive and above all a good read, Yattar Yattar is a vibrant magazine that offers its readers entertainment, information and plenty of great ideas for where to go and what to do in the region.’

Katrina Morphet, Marketing Consultant to the RJAH Orthopaedic Hospital NHS Foundation Trust: ‘Yattar Yattar is a great vehicle for explaining the range of services offered at the specialist orthopaedic hospital in Oswestry, both via the NHS and in our private patients unit. It is a lively, colourful read and we are pleased to have copies available in the hospital. Patients in Shropshire, Cheshire and Wales have commented on how helpful they find the articles and then are prompted to go to our website to find out more.’ Andrea Bristow HR and marketing director at GreenWood Forest Park, Gwynedd: ‘We have advertised with Yattar Yattar magazine since last year now and we have always found the staff really helpful. Although we supply our own artwork they are always on hand to provide help with editorial or any other issues. I feel that the magazine has a professional look to it with great content and features which appeal to everyone. We look forward to working with them on our advertising needs in the future.’ Lucy Evans, admissions, marketing and promotions manager, Walford & North Shropshire College: ‘We have worked with Yattar Yattar over the past two years. It’s been a great platform for us to promote open events in particular. It’s been good to see the magazine within the local community. I’ve noticed it in the local Tesco’s at the end of the tills and also browsed through it whilst waiting to collect an Indian meal from our local Indian restaurant!’ Louise Lyon, owner, Lucris, Chester: ‘At Lucris we believe effective advertising is a very important element of running any business. We’ve very much enjoyed working with the friendly and inspired staff at Yattar Yattar magazine who have been so helpful in helping us to create some really impressive advertising for our products. As soon as Yattar Yattar went on the stands, we could see an immediate upturn in traffic to our online business. We initially chose Yattar Yattar for several reasons: Firstly it was when we picked up a free copy while shopping, and discovered it to be such an enjoyable read. Packed with so many interesting and diverse features, local information and news, we felt it had the potential to attract a wide group of readers. Secondly the very fact that it’s offered free in so many places throughout Cheshire, Shropshire and parts of Wales - this has to ensure a huge distribution. And thirdly, because the magazine serves our area so well, we have also become customers to some of the other advertisers in Yattar Yattar, so if the ads can win us over, we think they probably work for others too!’ Yvonne Layn, owner, Jenevieve, Langollen: ‘I have advertised with Yattar Yattar on a number of occasions and have found their staff very pleasant and efficient. It has been good to hear from new customers that they have found us from our advertisements in Yattar Yattar. The magazine looks good and is so easily available to the public.’ Jackie Vaughan, practice manager, Healing Thyme, Whitchurch: ‘We have been very pleased with our ongoing association with Yattar Yattar. When the magazine first contacted us we waited to see how the magazine would develop and have since been impressed with the content on health and natural and complementary therapies. Yattar Yattar has the look and feel of an expensive magazine, and our customers are always delighted to receive their free copy. The very comprehensive information on forthcoming local events is often commented on. As a result of Therese Hickland’s column on herbal medicine we have seen customers from a wider geographical area than previously, including people who have come from Wrexham. Dan and his team have been most helpful throughout, they are very efficient and clear on what we can expect from them, and what’s more they’re all very nice to talk to!’

There are other factors governing response: l is the ad eye-catching? l how often and where in the magazine does it appear? l what special offers are there for readers? l has there been any supporting editorial?
Distribution is achieved by specialist companies who certify that copies have reached their target. Further details of our distribution are available, just get in touch and we will be very happy to help. Where is your money going? The biggest single factor governing response is number of copies printed and distributed, a figure you can ask publishers for in writing from independent verifiable sources, for example a letter from their printer. Brillybox is transparent, and genuinely sees it as our obligation to prove our print and distribution figures with any client.
We can help you deal with all of these issues in the best way for your business.
