Why Choose The Informer? 
 
Because we’re a quality magazine printed on glossy paper packed with useful information.

YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE THE INFORMER IS GOING.  
 
We reach all homes and businesses in a clearly defined affluent area and you can be assured our distribution is first class. 
So, here’s how we can SAVE you money and MAKE you even more money! 
 
Compare the rates for monthly advertising in a magazine with the cost of similar advertising in a short weekly or daily publication. 
In most cases, just one enquiry would easily cover the cost of the ad and being a monthly publication, The Informer enhances the public awareness of your business, therefore increasing the enquiries made. 
 
For an affordable monthly outlay you can get regualr advertising that works. 
Adverts of all sizes to suit all businesses, with free artwork included! 
Unlike directories which soon become dated you can change the information as and when for NO EXTRA COST. 
 
Why wastemoney advertising across a wide area in publication with a short life that isn't relevant to the local community? The Informer offers precise targeting of the local area. The Informer includes interesting and informative editorial about community events each month, ensuring the magazine is read cover to cover and kept!
