Advertising with proven results!
And you don't have to take our word for it...

 

"Last year we advertised in This is Leeds for the very first time. We mulled over it for some time as, being a small business, we need to be certain every penny is working for us. Within days of This is Leeds being published, we saw customers coming in from the hotels. Also, they were the right type of customers and the advert quickly paid for itself. It's tough deciding what to advertise in at the moment, but This is Leeds has been the best value-for-money publication we have been in this year."

Vicky Denby, Owner, Mummy & Little Me, Leeds

 

 

"I just wanted to say that since taking the full page advert out in This is Edinburgh 2010/2011 we have had a significant increase of business from clients staying in the Hotels in Edinburgh. Marketing is always a difficult field, trying to find ones that work well, but I have to say this one is working well for JSB Executive Travel. We're already looking forward to the 2011/2012 season."

Stephen Brown, JSB Executive Travel, Edinburgh

 

 

"Our promotional work with Kingfisher Media has allowed us to deliver a reassurance message to visItors to the Hull and Humber region in a novel and engaging way.

Phil Kirk, Head of Marketing and Public Relation, Humberside Police

"We have found the This is Manchester guides to be very beneficial. In the past, we have had various leaflets in all of our guest bedrooms to give our customers some information about the city - however we found these to be difficult to manage because:

•  Many different leaflets makes the room look cluttered
•  The leaflets began to look tatty after a period of time
•  It would often be difficult to get each one changed

The This is Manchester guide has eliminated all of these problems as they are excellent quality, hardwearing and our guests have often asked for directions to some of the places mentioned in the guide."

Carys Jones, Arora Hotel, Manchester
