I just had to write and tell you about a Gardener I have found in your Directory. I was desperate to find one as I am not able to do it myself. Frank & Alison of Pretty Plants come round for a couple of hours and the work they do is brilliant! I would recommend them to anybody. I would like to say thank you for your Directory. I find it very trustworthy. Mrs P T, West Moors “I always enjoy your magazine and have been tempted to complete your Prize Wordsearch this month. Tim Saunders’ articles are always entertaining and informative and the compact style of the Directory encourages me to read every page, including the adverts!” Mr D S, Bournemouth Thank you for publishing The West Moors Directory. I find it fun and informative. The man who helps me with my garden I got from your mag. - Mrs P H, West Moors I am writing to say that I had to use one of your advertisers recently. I had a blockage in the main drain and the back up was quite substantial and smelly. I called Kevin from All Drains Cleared. He came within three hours and even telephoned to say when he was on his way. He wasn’t fazed by what he found and was most efficient and helpful throughout. I believe that you like to hear reports of work done by your advertisers so that is why I have written today. - Mrs E C-P, Ferndown

W RDS FROM Thank you for your advice and guidance regarding advertising in your local magazines. Our new offering of external cleaning services has provided us with an opportunity to advertise to local residents. An audience that we have not previously marketed ourselves to. This is our first venture into traditional print marketing and we are thrilled to say that just one advert in and we are already seeing the benefits as enquiries are coming to us. Modern Magazines has given us the opportunity to reach those that our social media platforms will never speak to. We can really see the value in this more traditional marketing tool and it will certainly continue to be part of our marketing strategy where appropriate. Tatiana Clean Deep Services Ltd
At Physio Fitness we have a good website and a reasonable social media presence. We have done plenty of Facebook advertising and other online marketing, especially to our own client base. After taking on a new full-time physiotherapist in August last year we felt we needed to ‘up our game’ marketing wise. I wanted to appeal to a certain market and I took the decision to go headfirst into a more traditional advertising route by using the excellent ‘Modern Magazines’. Wow, has this worked! Robyn, our new physio, like all of us, is full and has a waiting list! We now need to take on another physio! The magazines have been instrumental in a significant upsurge in new clients…we know because we monitor where they come from. We Plan to advertise in Modern Magazines on an ongoing basis and would like to send out a massive thank you to Debbie, Stephen and the team. Dave Mott Physio Fitness

M OUR CLIENTS Modern Magazines provide a really comprehensive guide for local businesses and news and are the first port of call when looking for services. Debbie and Stephen are great supporters of local charities too, covering news and events and really helping to raise their profile within the community. Linda Thornton, John Thornton Young Achievers Foundation
We have been advertising with the publications that are now known as Modern Magazines for the last three years. Debbie, Stephen and all their team are always available and very helpful and most importantly their publications always provide consistent results. The proof is in the numbers and we are more than happy with them. Thank you guys and keep up the good work. Nigel Skilton, Dorset and Wight Wills
This local publication is just perfect for the needs of a Local tradesman or professional person. I started using the Wimborne Directory from its 1st publication and there isn't a week that goes by without me receiving lots of enquiries. One of the best things about The Wimborne Directory is that I know it reaches my Target market as it gets posted by Royal Mail to every household in the area I have chosen. Guaranteed... I had doubts before I started but now I know it is something I will always do. Modern Magazines do also do lots of other areas and are a very professional outfit. If you want people to know about you, give them a go. You won't regret it! Mark Phillips, Tradesman 01202 894397 I 01264 316499 I enquiries@modernmagazines.co.uk

We are dedicated to making your advert stand out and make your company well known in the local area. We recommend at least three months advertising to make an impact and get the best returns. The longer you are seen, the more you will get from your advertising, so a smaller advert over a longer period of time may get you much more than one large advert. Please call for a special price for several mags and multiple months. With free advert design, Facebook pages and the magazines online we really do “take the strain out of your advertising campaign!
