We know that our content is trusted by thousands of people – and we want to keep it that way. That’s why only half of each magazine is reserved for advertising.
Nonetheless, we rely on advertising to cover our costs for creating, publishing and distributing the magazines you know and love. So, we have a range of options to suit all budgets.
We also offer a range of other media-related services and advertising including design and artwork, all types of printing, leaflet distribution, newsletter promotion, social media content and management and business directory listings.
There are tons of reasons to advertise with us!
Just to let you know that from our audience at our jazz evening on Thursday we had ten people directly from our advert in Life In…Magazines.
