HOW TO GET STARTED
TIP: The bigger the sale you are likely to make, the bigger the advert should be as this reassures the advertisers of your capability to carry out the work.
TIP: Multiple areas will both give you a discount and a higher response. Very small businesses are best to stick with their local area, but it’s better value to advertise in all editions if you want more leads.
3. Choose the number of months you would like to advertise for (minimum two months). Remember there is an extra discount for a longer booking
TIP: Repetition really works with advertising – the more a reader sees you, the more likely they are to call.
If you want us to create your advert for you, gather together the words and images, although we can take some info from your website if you have one. Then just call 01425 546254 or out of working hours, send us a message.
