Readers feel like their Handy Magazine belongs to them, it’s part of their community. It’s a credible source of local information Costessey and Hellesdon residents simply won’t find anywhere else.
People pay more attention to mail that arrives with their all-important post. For this reason, we use Royal Mail, so residents can confidently expect their local magazine to be delivered with the rest of their mail. You also benefit from guaranteed reach and visibility in our Costessey and Hellesdon communities.
Handy by name, handy by nature. Our Norwich magazine is not only small but also highly targeted to residents, which means your advert faces less competition compared to other forms of advertising, such as online, social media, or newspapers. As a result, you receive the attention you deserve. Moreover, Handy Magazine achieved a 95% advertiser return rate in 2023, and even more impressively, all advertisers who booked four issues returned for more.
Social media ads reach only a few thousand people in your target location – not necessarily residents. Handy Magazine reaches every property, home to over 33,000 real Norwich residents, for a fraction of the cost.
Handy Magazine has a vivid, colourful and engaging cover teasing its contents and inviting you to open the pages. Costessey and Hellesdon residents are excited to receive our local magazine, reading it repeatedly over time and engaging with its contents far beyond the fleeting impact of leaflets which are often binned within a day or two. They also share it with others in their household, as well as family and friends, extending your reach.
Our readers keep Handy Magazine in a safe place until the next issue arrives, ensuring your advert stays in the home for up to 2 months or longer. They see it repeatedly, which is why continued advertising so important.
