Testimonials

I regularly advertise in the Essential Guide magazine and find that for a small outlay I do get results. Sue Cook | Harmony Blinds of Leigh

Love Local Magazines offer an excellent, cost effective way to reach our customers. The publication is professional and well designed.  Phil is great to deal with and produces excellent quality adverts showcasing our products. Overall, Jody and Phil’s approach and service is A1 and I look forward to a long working relationship with them. Michael Aldridge  |  Neil & Barker

I highly recommend advertising in Essential Guide. I am currently advertising in 2 of them and have more than covered my monthly investment. When new clients see my advert they ring me & they say “I keep seeing your advert in the mag and have been meaning to ring you”. To me, that is the key to advertising, you have to keep the consistency and ensure your business keeps a presence in there throughout the year. Advertising is not a quick fix.

When I analyse where all my business comes from the largest % of my turnover comes from advertising in local magazines. The mags work with you right from the start; from designing your advert to ensuring you maximise what you need to do in order to get the best return. They are helpful and continue to work with you as time goes on to ensure everything remains fresh. It’s one of the best investments I have made since I started my business. Big thanks to Jody and Phil. Emma Lodge | Balance Accounting Solutions

We had a fantastic response from our recent advert in the Essential Guide magazine. People obviously keep the magazines as we’re still taking bookings from the previous month’s issue. We had a wide variety of jobs from our advert and I would highly recommend advertising with the Essential Guide magazines. It really works. Phil Harper | On Time Travel

We have used The Essential Guide for several years and see it as a great way to reach a local audience. Knowing the magazine reaches people in their homes is a reassuring way to advertise the college. Andrew Moores | Marketing Officer, Priestley College

We have months of work lined up in the local area as a result. Paul Kendrick | Ultimate Interiors

Thanks for the work you’ve done, I’m pleased to say that within the first weekend of the magazines going out it has paid for my first six months of advertising! Mark Southern | Cheshire Oven Busters

Just to thank you for the May/June edition magazine which is both interesting and informative. The news of local events, MPs, school information and doctors’ & schools’ numbers is very useful. It was also good to hear of new businesses with their contact numbers. Congratulations on such a varied and beautifully produced booklet. Sue Wilding | Reader

Whatever you do, don’t change the size of your magazine – A5 is the perfect size for a local magazine and I’m extremely happy with the advertising that I’ve done with you. Don’t change a thing! Armchair Reupholstery

Yes, I definitely want to renew my advert – we always pick up new customers from Love Local! Steve | A-Z Blinds

I’ve been advertising in the Widnes magazine for over a year now and have been really pleased with the business that it’s generated for us… so much so that I now take a full page ad in both magazines every month. In addition, I get the Widnes mag through my door without fail and use the local businesses in it whenever I can.

Just moved into the area and your magazine is a godsend. Thank you. Tony Gill  |  Widnes

I love all the information and always look forward to the Love Local mag dropping through the letter box! Jean Chapman | Reader

It’s a smashing magazine and I’ve used a lot of the advertisers. Mrs Fitzpatrick | Reader

I’ve just seen my advert in your magazine. It looks fabulous! Thanks so much for the editorial space too. Debbie | Digs For Dogs

The adverts in the last 2 editions of the magazine have done their job and I am in the fortunate position of being fully booked for work until the middle of August so I don’t need to advertise in the next issue. Andrew | Prune & Garden

Since starting to advertise in the Essential Guide I have had 26 bookings! Steve Webster | OvenWizards

I would not hesitate to recommend the Warrington South publication for business for businesses looking to sell a local service. Wilkins Chimney Sweep – John Baldacchino
