OK, so why should you advertise anyway? Well, they say opportunity knocks, but if it can not find you, how can you expect it to come knocking on your door? Whether you are a new business or have been around since time began (I know, it sometimes feels like it!), everyone needs new customers through their door. However, THEY will not seek YOU out, so you need to make it easy for your customers to find you and to know what you do!

Here is why you should advertise in The Falkirk and District Post. Where do we start? OK, we do like blowing our own trumpet, but only because we truly believe it is probably the most effective way to advertise in the Falkirk and District area. Newspapers have such a short ‘shelf life’ - you may pick it up somewhere, thumb through it, but how long do you actually hang on to it? A day? Two days? And what about leaflet door drops? We’re not totally against this idea however, if you’ve already tried this, chances are it didn’t work. Most of these campaigns do not. Was your leaflet well-designed? Did it have the correct message on it? Was the quality as good as it should have been? Oh yes, these things do matter! Then there is the distribution. Did you go out there pounding the streets yourself, risking your life (well, your fingers anyway!) on rusty gates and over keen dogs? Or did you take the chance and pay someone else to do it? And did they do it? All of it?

“So, what’s so good about The Falkirk and District Post?” we hear you cry! Well, with expertly designed articles and advertisements alongside high-resolution images, you’ll find that we are VERY fussy about quality and you can be assured that your advert will not arrive looking ‘scruffy’. Instead it will arrive dressed-to-the-nines, spruced up and shiny, and in a handy A5 size – making it a rather stunning little package. It is colourful, glossy and full of fantastic content and it will announce its arrival with a thump, not a flutter! Though it’s important to look smart, the best thing about The Falkirk and District Post is that it is passionate about all things local. But local does not have to mean small and neither does A5. This is one powerful little publication, as demonstrated by a distribution that’s increased by 500% in the last four years and the high retention level of advertisers. I’m sure you’ll agree, it does not get much better than that.

The level of service you can expect from us would be hard to beat! You won’t have a pushy salesperson on the phone trying to squeeze an advert out of you to make a quick buck. We want to understand your business and work with you to make it succeed!

Do you need to advertise regularly? If you really want to advertise in one issue, we certainly will not refuse you - that would be very silly of us in the current climate! However, four years of experience tells us that regular advertising has a much greater impact. There are far too many reasons for this to go into here, but just think of how many times you have seen the latest Go Compare/Marks and Spencer/ Tesco advert? Yes, you probably know them word for word! We are not saying your advertising needs to be just as annoying as some of these, but consistency and frequency is key. If you know your budget for the year, then we can advise you of the best plan of marketing action to suit it.

Remember, it is just as important to us that you get a return, we want to keep YOUR business! For more information on advertising in The Falkirk and District Post, call David or Margaret Smith on 07779 054 071
