EDITORIAL &

When you take out an annual partner package we offer free editorial / advertorial space. This is where you get to say a bit more than “here’s our new product.” Our articles and advertorial features are what make the brochure worth sitting down with. Proper reads that mix inspiration, insight, and a few money-making ideas. Think seasonal serves, trend round ups, and smart ways

to help customers sell more of your stuff.There’s plenty of space to get creative, and we’re flexible on format and word count. If it works for our customers, it works for us. We’ll even help you find the right tone or angle to make sure your story lands where it counts. As each category is different check out our recent brochures for some artistic inspiration.

Keep your ad clean, catchy, and click-able. The sharper it looks, the faster you’ll turn browsers into buyers.

We can link each advert to whatever works best for you and your message.

SALES

SALES SUPPORT DOCUMENT The Sales Support Document is a digital-only sales tool used by the Inn Express team when speaking to customers, particularly during new business conversations. It sits alongside printed brochures but serves a different purpose, allowing you to share commercially useful information that may not be suitable for full customer circulation or print. Each brand is allocated two landscape pages, designed and supplied by you at 297mm wide x 210mm high. • •

One external facing page One internal only page

The external page may be shown or discussed with customers. It should focus on practical selling points such as always on deals, selective commercial support, investment levels, trial mechanics, or reasons the brand works for a specific outlet type. This page should support a sales conversation, not function as an advert. The internal page is for Inn Express sales teams only and will not be shown to customers. It can include sales incentives, install bonuses, internal rewards, or guidance that helps our team prioritise and position your brand. This document is not secret, but it is designed for controlled, in-person use rather than open distribution. Keep copy concise, factual, and easy to explain verbally. Clearly label internal and external pages, avoid brochure style copy, and only include information you are comfortable being used in a selective sales setting.
