From only £20 per month! Do you want a quick and easy way to advertise your business? Why not advertise in our Focus publications – it really does work!
YOUR COMMUNITY BASED LOCAL MAGAZINE
Focus Magazine launched in April 2017. The Ringwood Focus and The Fordingbridge Focus are two sister publications that are community-based magazines. We strive to offer excellent value and affordable advertising for businesses so that you are noticed. Our magazines strive to showcase the brilliant businesses we have in our surrounding area with effective advertising. We have a reach of 17,000 homes- that’s 17,000 coffee tables that your business advert will be placed on.
With our roots firmly in the community, here at Focus Magazines, we like to work directly promoting the local events that organisations and societies put on. We really love the sense of community spirit, which makes us the perfect place to advertise your business. National papers lack this spirit, whereas establishing yourself in a local magazine, will have your business reaping the rewards of advertising with a loyal, local readership. Another huge benefit of advertising with us is the building of your business reputation in the area.
We aim to produce magazines that keep our readers engaged, entertained and informed. We feel Focus Magazines have the right balance of all of that, whilst being energetic and interesting. Our magazines are proud of having something for everyone in the family, from fun games to handy gardening tips.
The magazines are packed full of useful local information. All of this ensures that the magazine has a greatly extended shelf life. These magazines will be picked up and read consistently and with intent.
Our content is noticed and respected, including the adverts. As a credible source for local information, our audience see the ads as our own recommendations. Local, reliable, community-spirited customers await your business.
We believe in a non-invasive approach and we strive to build positive working relationships between our clients and ourselves. This has been reflective in the continual growth that Focus Magazines has achieved. Our working
relationships are always built on mutual trust and flexibility.
