To discuss how advertising in About Thames Ditton will benefit your business.
Lots of regular readers
About Thames Ditton is delivered directly to 6,500 homes and businesses in Thames Ditton, Weston Green and Long Ditton.
It is truly local
All advertisers operate in or close to the area. There is strong evidence that truly local services are preferred by the majority of the UK population.
Strong social media reach
New residents each month
Dozens of people are moving into Thames Ditton every month. In most cases, these residents are new to the area and have no local knowledge. They are looking for guidance, and ‘About’ offers the perfect opportunity for businesses to get themselves in front of these new potential customers.
Longevity
‘About’ isn’t thrown away each week like a local newspaper. People keep it as a reference for the whole month.
No VAT
The price you see is the price you pay – unlike most publications where an extra 20% is added to the bill. This is because we are a small, independently run business.
Great value
‘About’ represents incredible value if your target market includes the residents of Thames Ditton.
Quality
‘About’ has a very high standard of full colour print and production using 200gsm glossy cover and 115gsm glossy paper inside with perfect binding, which gives longevity to the magazine. All artwork is professionally finished to ensure that you look your best and that your company is proud to be featured and associated with a high-quality publication.
It works
‘About’ is very widely read and used. Most of our advertisers will appear month after month because ‘About’ works and will generate business for them.
What our advertisers say
Paul’s Fruit & Veg
We first advertised with ATD when we came to the village, but stopped after a few years, thinking everyone knew about us. We didn’t realise how much the area changes and how many new customers we could reach.
After advertising again, a customer immediately visited and said she didn’t know we were here—despite 15 years in business! It shows that staying visible in ATD works. We also love having our daily news shared on their social media pages.
Mind Body Maintenance
We have advertised in About Thames Ditton magazine for over eight years. It has consistently brought interested customers to our door and helped our business grow.
Susie and her team always go the extra mile and offer practical advice and design ideas. We cannot recommend them enough.
Don’t Panic Computer Help
I have been advertising with About TD since the first issue and have had three or four new customers per week as a result.
TMG Design & Build
It’s our most effective advertising by a mile. It’s easily outstripping Yellow Pages in performance at the moment.
Esher College
The About Thames Ditton advert generated a great response for our volunteer roles, and we are delighted to see the engagement from the community in supporting local providers.
Sally Strange
I have been advertising in About for the last five years. I’ve had great success from our community and beyond, with plenty of old and new friends getting in touch as a result.
It’s such a fabulous, well-read local magazine.
