• Reach Your Key Demographic - Right On Your Doorstep • Incredible Value For Money • Editorial Opportunities • Established • Loyal Readers • It Works! The Vine is a well established community magazine and business directory delivered free to homes and businesses throughout Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It is a high quality, full colour, A5 glossy magazine, which, as reader feedback suggests, is typically kept until the next issue is delivered. Launched in August 2007, we built a large and loyal readership very quickly and since launch our circulation has grown from 4,000 to 30,000 copies every other month. Evidence suggests that truly local services are preferred by the majority of the UK population and so The Vine offers a wide range of benefits to both readers and advertisers. For our readers it is a source of local information, it is packed with articles, reviews, editorials, community pages, puzzles and competitions to enjoy and it is regarded as a one-stop-shop for finding local businesses, their products and services. The Vine therefore connects local people to local businesses enabling you to benefit from the immediacy of access to your services.
Our philosophy is simple... Affordable, effective advertising solutions to suit any budget!
How Do We Achieve this... Being noticed is becoming increasingly difficult, especially in print. We believe that publishing a magazine packed full of interesting and engaging content means our readers look forward to receiving The Vine and spending time flicking through our pages therefore optimising the chances of your advert being seen. We concentrate on making you stand out allowing you to concentrate on being outstanding!
What Makes Us Different? Our magazine is not full of adverts! Because we maintain a minimum 40:60 content/advertising ratio we actually provide something interesting for people to read! Thereby optimising the chances of adverts being seen... and more importantly, REMEMBERED! We care, we’re always happy to help or offer advice. Being an independent publisher enables us to offer a more personable service and take the time to get to know and meet the requirements of our customers and readers. We understand that our success depends on your success!
What Our Readers Think... They love it! Our latest reader survey suggests that The Vine is a good source of local information, is seen as part of the local community and readers look forward to their copy landing on their doormat. The majority are keen to support the local trades and services who advertise within and want to support their community and the local economy. Because adverts, of any size, are highly visible within our pages The Vine is perceived as a local directory and a convenient tool for finding the trade or service they require. www.thevinemagazine.co.uk
