The Complete Guide To Growing Your Business
“The Business That Doesn’t Promote Itself Will Always Be Invisible”
WHO WE ARE! In the past... Dispatch Magazine started back in 2001 and was delivered to just 3,500 homes in Diss. Today, 10 years later, we have three magazines in Diss & Attleborough. Wymondham, Dereham & Watton and Bury St Edmunds, with a massive 52,000 distribution (152,000 readership) going to every home and business in the areas we publish. It has been an exciting decade for us - not least because of the strong relationships we have built with over 6,000 local businesses in the area. Some of these businesses have been advertising with Dispatch from day one and have grown alongside us over the past ten years. In addition to those who have been with us for a long time, we are always amazed at how many new local businesses we’re working with every month.
At present... With a solid footing in the areas we operate in, we are extremely proud to have built strong relationships with communities including with town councils to produce their Town Guides and local websites. For us, this is about interacting with the communities we know and love and has meant that Dispatch has become far more than a local mag. Our websites and online directories support the magazines, giving all of our clients’ access to an online platform. This enables our local business community to keep its finger on the pulse and move with the times with social media, blogging and other web-based activities.
Looking to the future... Over the past decade, technology has advanced rapidly - not only in terms of broadband speeds and online functionality, but also with the emergence of Web 2.0 as a whole new way of interacting online. At Dispatch, we have kept at the forefront of these technological developments - giving our businesses and local communities’ access to an evolving and exciting platform to keep up to date. The rise of mobile technology and mobile internet access, enabling smartphones and tablets such as the iPad, has also impacted how people engage with businesses. Making sure that Dispatch remains at the cutting edge with every new advancement, including Twitter and Facebook, the increased use of blogging and other social media, offers genuine benefits to the companies we work with. Our website brings our local businesses and readers even more interactively to the foreground, getting all of our community news up online. As the internet evolves over the coming years, we’ll be keeping on top of new developments and helping our clients to engage online as well as in our printed magazines. In addition to this, there’s no telling how many more areas Dispatch will be reaching out to. With an established base in the communities we work in and an excellent reputation built up over the past 10 years, we will continue to grow and ensure that our readers are happy, and our businesses are getting excellent value for money.
