A Trusted Magazine

Research shows people are placing more trust in printed advertising. With the rise of fake articles and online scams, print rises above online advertising when it comes to trust and reliability.

Memorable Advertising

People read our magazines when they’re ready to sit down and relax, so they are much more likely to take in and remember information. The response rate is also higher.

Loyal to Local

Costessey residents care about where they live and often voice their views. Their verdict on Handy is resounding praise! So it’s no surprise they hold on to their local magazine until the next issue arrives.

“A great way for us to advertise our fundraising events. We’ve booked into several issues now.”
