“Since 2007 we have advertised every month in Swindon Link Magazine, and found it to be hugley beneficial for our business. Awareness of our business centre has increased dramatically due to this publication. We have found the management team to be professional, conscientious and incredibly supportive of both the centre and the charities we support.”
Lyn Chapman, Centre Manager Basepoint Business Centre “The truth is that advertising in The Link has been really good for business. We have had people call up to personally thank us for the little articles that have gone in The Link. We are really glad that we started advertising in The Link. We couldn’t recommend it more.”
Barbara French, AMS Accountancy
Why print? Online marketing is now a fundamental part of the marketing mix for most businesses but print remains an essential component of almost any successful ad campaign. In fact, it may be a more powerful marketing tool than ever. Here’s why: 1. There’s less competition. With so many choosing to focus efforts online, print pieces stand out. There’s a greater chance your target audience will see, remember, and engage with your message. 2. It lends credibility to your message — and, by extension, you. More people trust magazines to tell the truth than websites. After all, anyone can claim just about anything on the Internet. 3. High levels of engagement. At a time when people have a short attention span, the average magazine reader spends 38 minutes reading each issue. Print is tangible. Magazines, especially, stay in homes months after they were printed and are often read by several people.
