The distribution areas for our 5 magazines have been carefully selected to target households not fully covered by any other media. Our distribution team are a very important part of our business. Many of our distributors have been with us for a number of years, some passing their route on to siblings and they take pride in their carefully managed reliable ‘door to door’ distribution. As housing developments open we regularly increase distribution numbers accordingly, currently we deliver to in excess of 39,020 homes and businesses.

Your business is unique so we try to tailor our marketing packages to suit each of our customers. After spending some time with you discussing your business and finding out more about the type of customers you want to target, we will send you a detailed proposal explaining how we will help you move your business forward. You can select any number of editions between 1 or all 5. Our experience has been that regular advertising builds awareness of your products and services. We recommend bookings in periods of either 4, 8 or 12 months. Prices start from just £25 per month based on at least 4 months booked.

With us, you can have as little or as much space as you want. Besides the front cover strip and the back ‘edge to edge’ covers’, advertising spaces are available in 4 different sizes eighth, quarter, half and full page advertisements. On our ‘longer term’ bookings we can offer discounts and the option to pay monthly. Advertising with us could not be easier. You can even have a one off advert for that special event or promotion. We also offer a 50% discount for local charitable organisations.

As with our advertising packages, we tailor our marketing advice to suit your business. This may range from a simple listing within our community pages to social media, or it could be a flyer distribution combined with some email or text marketing. The important thing is we find a marketing strategy that brings you your desired results.

We don’t know about you but generally we are too busy to go to the conventional business networking groups. Instead we believe in good old fashioned introductions and, wherever the opportunity arises, we encourage our customers to meet and use each others’ services – networking but without the upfront payments or non diet friendly breakfasts.

At Stay Local we believe in supporting as many local charities as possible. Over the years since 2005 we have offered free space wherever possible and supported numerous organisations. We offer sponsorship by way of our time, prizes, football strips and we’ve even been known to bake cakes!

The foundation to Stay Local was a shared passion for the community we live in and wanting to do whatever we could to make a difference. Therefore we have an undertaking to promote clubs, events, news and anything else that our readers ask for or we feel has a community interest.

We are a small team made up of friends and family. Rachael Mills and Becky Williams are the joint publishers supported by a dedicated team of professionals. All of which are local people sharing a passion for our community.
