Your page in the issue
Category exclusivity for the issues you book
- A full page, designed with you
- A short written piece, not a block of copy
- Your listing in the directory
- One business per category
Advertise
Be known in the neighbourhood you serve.
One business per category, a page and a story, in a magazine that arrives free in every mailbox.
What you get
A placement, not an impression.
Rates, deadlines and terms are set out in the advertising agreement. Nothing is booked online.
The work around it
Included with a placement
- Photography brief and art direction
- Proof before print, with your sign-off
- A digital listing that is findable
- Someone who answers the phone
Advertising is marked as advertising. Taking a page does not buy editorial coverage, and we will tell you that on the call rather than after the invoice.

How it works
Five steps from call to print.
Tell us about your business
A short form, then a thirty-minute call. We confirm whether your category is open for the issue you want.
Agreement
Terms, rates and deadlines in writing, with your business licence number and insurance recorded.
Design and copy
We brief the photography and write the piece with you. Nothing goes to print without your sign-off.
Proof
You see the page as it will appear, and you approve it.
Print and delivery
The issue is printed and delivered free to every mailbox in the community.
Nothing is booked online. Paying does not by itself reserve a category or guarantee acceptance — the confirmation we send you does.
Book Your Spot
