From today 17,000 homes will receive a free copy of the Link in addition to a further 3,000 copies being made available at business premises and local supermarkets. That’s a total of 20,000 copies being distributed EVERY month. And it’s all down to the hard work and determination of two local ladies….Moira Hesketh and Dawn Williams, who had a dream of establishing an entirely independent publication for the area in which they live. Both highly skilled
Moira Hesketh in the world of newspaper advertising Moira and Dawn have not only achieved their ambition but are quick to recognise that improving their publication is the number one priority. Take the size: Yes, the Link is now Tabloid on very good quality newsprint and - if you have an eye for detail - you will have noticed that it is stapled to provide an overall neat and easy to handle product. It goes without saying that you can’t stand still in any business these days. The improved benefit for advertisers is
that your message will reach a lot more readers. No other free title provides an audience of 20,000 each month. For the record: people living in the Woolton Hill, Woolton Park and Calderstones areas will now receive advertiser’s up-to-date messages. And when it comes to the cost for advertising space, the Link’s your best vehicle to get the right message across at the right price. For instance: An advertisement in the Link of 6.5cm deep x 9cm wide will cost only £41.66 for a massive 20,000 distribution compared with
the cost of a same size advertisement with other local titles of £32 for only 2,000 distribution. The difference is that the Link costs only £2.08 per thousand copies compared to an astonishing £16.00 per thousand with others! How’s that for good business… One of the biggest improvements is for you, our readers. More space for your news and pictures Yes, Moira and Dawn want to hear a lot more from YOU. If you are in a club like the scouts, brownies, guides, women’s or district social and community organisations or sports clubs then they want to offer you FREE space to tell Link readers about your activities. The Link is opening up its columns for reports and pictures of your events and happenings. So if you’ve always fancied trying your hand at being a reporter then here’s your chance. It may be you want to tell people when something is going to happen or it may be you want to report on an event which has already been and gone in the weeks before the Link is published. That’s fine, but why not include a picture with your report as well? And it couldn’t be easier: Just write your report and send it to
Moira and Dawn at the Link e-mail site at the end of this report, together with your name, whether you hold an official post with your organisation, and your telephone number. The only thing to remember is deadlines…the Link prints in the last week of each month for distribution a couple of days before the start of the next month. Play safe and plan ahead to get your “copy” in really early. You need to “Think the Link” needs to have your report before the middle of the month and you will be fine. Some of you might like to start the ball rolling by sending your views on your new-look Link. So how’s that for a good deal if you belong to a club, school or any other organisation. It’s over to you now to help us make the Link even better and full of news of your own organisation. Remember the Link keeps you in touch with the people and essential businesses around you…thanks to two women who pushed ahead with a plan to launch a title which they wanted to be truly independent. *Send e-mails to: Moira or Dawn on: liverpoollink@yahoo.co.uk
