Why local businesses choose us
Reach the right neighbourhoods – and stay there
Our magazines are kept in homes, read more than once and used as a local directory. Your advert keeps working long after digital ads disappear.
Postcode-targeted reach
Pick the exact towns, villages and postcode areas you want. Reach the customers on your doorstep without paying for areas you don’t serve.
Print that's kept & reused
A physical magazine stays in the home and gets revisited when a resident needs a local service — repeated visibility, not a fleeting impression.
Everything taken care of
We guide you on size, areas and timing, and our in-house team designs your advert for free when you book — print-ready, with no fuss.
Less competition than digital
Crowded social feeds bury your message. In a local magazine your business stands out alongside genuine community content people actually read.
Print + digital editions
Every booking is also included in the online edition of your magazine, plus website and social visibility — extra reach at no extra cost.
A friendly local team
Talk to real people who know these communities. We’ll advise on the right size, areas and duration — no pressure, no jargon.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost?
Adverts start from £45 per month for an eighth page, up to £165 for a full page (excluding VAT, per title). Book quarterly to save up to 13%. Front and back covers are priced on enquiry. Multi-title and multi-month packages are available.
Which areas can I target?
22 titles cover 119 communities and 54 postcode areas across Dorset and Hampshire. You can focus on one town, combine neighbouring areas, or run a wider regional campaign.
How long should I advertise for?
We recommend at least three months. Repeated exposure builds recognition — a smaller advert seen consistently often outperforms a single large one-off.
Is my advert online too?
Yes. Every magazine has a digital edition published each month, and your booking also includes website and social media visibility.
Do I have to design my own advert?
No. Professional advert design is included free when you book and pay for your space. We’ll also help with sizing, file setup and print specs.
