Why Advertise in Dispatch Magazine?
Because we GIVE YOU so much more than just an advert - for less money!
"The business that doesn’t advertise itself, is an invisible business!"
1. The Magazines:
Dispatch Magazines are delivered door to door, every month, to 52,350 homes and businesses across a wide area of Norfolk and Suffolk. This means Dispatch has the largest distribution of any community magazine and a massive readership of 152,000. Dispatch is delivered to; Diss & Attleborough: 14,500 Wymondham, Dereham & Watton: 19,850 Bury St Edmunds: 18,000
2. Flip Book:
With the internet now a part of our everyday lives, Dispatch has embraced this technology and presents the magazines online, as well as in print. The online versions are viewable via our website, approximately 10 days before the printed version is delivered door to door. The website is receiving 100,000 plus hits per month.
All ¼ page, ½ page and full page adverts have links placed on the actual advert, so when the reader clicks, it will take them directly to your website.
3. Online Business Directory:
The Dispatch Business Directory is a comprehensive online directory, which lists every business in the areas where Dispatch is delivered to.
Your details are added to the directory, along with a banner advert, your logo, images, editorial and your preferred category. Normally sold at an extras monthly cost, we include this additional feature completely FREE of CHARGE when either a ¼ page, ½ page or full page advert is placed in the magazines.
4. Mobile Phone App:
Everything we offer online or in print is also viewable via SmartPhones, of which there are 11 million SmartPhone users in the UK. It is an important market which is growing, and one Dispatch is using to its full advantage. We therefore ensure your business is visable to everyone!
5. Social Media:
Dispatch has a vast following on both Twitter and Facebook, and every business is promoted via this expanding marketing tool. Dispatch Tweets daily to drive visitors to the website, where your advert appears. We also re-tweet all Dispatch customers twitter addresses.
6. Network Marketing:
Dispatch is heavily involved in Network Marketing via 4N in Diss, Dereham, Bury St Edmunds and Norwich. This is face to face socialising where your business is always promoted via Dispatch and all Dispatch Customers are welcome to attend.
7. QR Codes:
QR – short for Quick Response, is like a bar code, but carries much more data, and they’re readable via SmartPhones.
They put your chosen information directly into the SmartPhone users contact details, or links them directly to your website.
Every ¼ page, ½ page and full page advert has a QR code added, as they are fast becoming the next big thing.
8. Cut out Voucher:
If you’re looking at how you can track actually advertising response, have a Voucher advert, which readers are encouraged to cut out and use.
