Read what some of our satisfied customers have said about our magazine and how it’s helped their businesses:
"The advertising has been brilliant. We are really surprised and impressed by the response. Loads of people have mentioned it." - Colm McAlary, Smith & Mann's Budgens, Oct 2011
“I work in a lot of houses in Leckhampton and have some very good customers there. They all use and keep the Directory. It’s like their bible. When it came to advertising a new side of my business [wood briquettes] I knew that was what I wanted to go into.” Wayne Rabjohns, Redgrove Construction Oct 2011
Dear Clare, t
hank you for coming and supporting our launch party. As I mentioned we are thrilled with your work and the result. When we moved into our studio we found a copy of your directory and some friends had mentioned how well it had worked for their companies so we thought we would try it out. We found the service excellent and would highly recommend it to any local business who wants to get their name out to the local community. You are a born writer and the articles you have done for us have been superb. We have had great response from the local area and jobs from people seeing us in your directory. Hope business is good for you and we look forward to seeing you soon and thanks for the upgrade you’re a star.
Kind regards, Bee Pelloux, Contemporary Cake Designs, Sept 2011
"We have had stunning success with the directories. As a return on investment, it's second to none. We have reluctantly had to turn business away. We looked at other forms of advertising and a similar presence in other publications would have cost a fortune."
Adam Nicholson, July 2011, Cheltenham Ironworks (railings, gates & fencing) -
NB: They had to pull out they had so much business but have now chosen to advertise a new business with us - The Bath Road Market!
“We have successfully advertised in the directories since they started six years ago. They represent good value for money, provide an important local service and dovetail very well with other advertising we do. We know people see and use the magazine because we see it in clients' homes and because people talk about it. By regularly featuring on the covers, Cheltenham Directories have helped us get our message across very effectively.”
Nigel Erringtonsmith (estate agent, 107 Promenade)
“We’ve been using Cheltenham Directories for 18 months now. The regular exposure we get from the Directories is great. Advertising on a regular basis gives confidence to your clients that your business is secure and doing well. It is also great for recommending to friends when the next issue comes out. Full of great adverts, local interest and events.”
Claire Southworth (Water Babies).
“Cheltenham Directories has really helped Cotswold Plumbers to maintain a steady stream of customers to help grow our business. We find that our customers prefer to have a local plumber working in their house and the directories are a very handy source of local businesses. More often than not, the directory is sitting on top of the Yellow Pages by the phone!”
Matthew Brumwell (Cotswold Plumbers).
“Just to let you know we had some very high quality applications for the post of Parish Secretary from our advert with you, spoilt for choice almost!”
(St. Mary’s Church, Charlton Kings).
“We want to advertise in the Park & Tivoli Directory because we know it gets delivered because we get one every month.”
Sarah Powell (Spa Plumbing & Heating).
“We’ve had a good response, particularly from Leckhampton, with good results. People are obviously reading it, so it’s good from your point of view and from mine…it’s more than paid for itself. I will definitely want to rebook.”
Wayne Bishop, (Silver Fox Removals).
