Frequently Asked Questions

You can, but it’s not recommended, unless you are advertising a specific promotion, such as an event. Why? Because advertising doesn’t work instantly. We wish it did. Our long-term advertisers tell us they get the best results from consistent advertising for at least three issues (six months coverage). Frequency is key to see a return on your investment. Potential customers, on average, need to be exposed to your advertisement three or more times before they will trust and commit to purchasing your product or service. One advert alone will not grow your brand or increase your sales.

That’s a great question! We use our own, hand-picked distribution team to deliver our 16,000 magazines every other month. We carefully select our team and make sure, for the younger distributors, their parents/guardians are onboard to help out if needed.

All our distributors use a GPS tracker app providing a time-stamped record of each house that has been visited. We use this app because it gives our advertisers ultimate reassurance and guarantee that each magazine really is being hand delivered to each home.

Once a round is complete, a member of our admin team receives a notification. We review the round has been completed and pay the distributor for their work.

That’s not a problem. By using our own professional design studio, we can create bespoke, eye-catching advertisements and advertorials from £15 +vat which you can use on your social media platforms for consistency. Plus - if you want to change your advert every issue - no problem!

Advertising doesn’t usually work instantly, it requires an amount of patience. Your potential customers, on average, need to be exposed to your advertisement three or more times before they will trust and commit to purchasing your product or service.

Our discerning customers spend their advertising budget wisely, by advertising consistently over a long period of time of three or more issues. Sometimes this means they book a smaller advert just so they can stay in the magazine for longer or they use a mix of size adverts.

In the world of advertising, frequency (not size) is the key to success. All good things take time, and advertising is no different. We cannot stress this enough.

We pride ourselves on having a good balance of content and advertising. Every issue of Fresh Home & Living magazine is packed with fresh ideas and inspiration and delivers up-to-date insights and trends.

If you would like us to feature a ‘sales pitch’ type of content then you can pay for a full page advertorial which is the same price as a full page advert.

We do welcome features for consideration, especially if we think they might be relevant to our readers. Contact us for more details.

Choosing the best format for your brand or business depends on your goals. For some, social media and Google ads are the best platform to use for instant responses and results, while other companies may find more value in print ads. The benefit of using print as an advertising medium is that it is a tangible and emotive experience for consumers.

Studies show that a large proportion of social media users are under 30, which means your reach may be limited to a narrow age group. Is that your target audience? One of the key benefits of print is its ability to reach a much wider demographic.

That said, if your budget allows, combining both print and digital strategies can boost your reach and drive more traffic, especially when done with a clear plan. The key is to first define your target audience, then tailor your approach accordingly.
