“EssentialsMAG is a great source of local information.

I feel that if a company advertises month in, month out, they must get repeat custom and are therefore probably OK and trustworthy.”

Don’t just take our word for it HERE’S WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS AND READERS HAVE TO SAY...

“ Nice to receive local information through my door, especially as I am fairly new to the area.

K. BLANEY

“

“

Your magazine is a fantastic tool for business! My advert in EssentialsMAG added 15% extra business for me.

I've been very impressed with the response I have had from EssentialsMAG to date.

KEITH, FISH FRY

“

Having tried various printed media before, with variable success, EssentialsMAG has stood out in both the number and quality of enquiries received. The ownership and locality of the mag has led to the right sort of orders dealing with the right sort of people that appreciate the quality products I offer.

“ Enjoy our monthly read with its varied content and also highlighting local services and shops that we might have otherwise have missed.

D. TURTLE

“

Hello Vicky, you and EssentialsMAG do a great job, such a valuable community resource which is welcomed and respected by us all. Thank you for your support to Maes y Pant in helping us to keep people in touch with what we are doing.

Vicky is on the ball and well connected, and has been happy to design and update adverts. I have no problem recommending Vicky and EssentialsMAG to friends/family and clients.

Keep going, I'm proud of you for your passion in producing such a useful local publication.

SUE KELLY, MAES Y PANT

We advertise in EssentialsMAG, the only local magazine we do advertise in. Since starting the company we have kept a record of where business has come from, and 82% has come from EssentialsMAG! Vicky is amazing and even designed our advert.

EssentialsMAG is a great source of local information. I feel that if a company advertises month in, month out, then they must get repeat custom and are therefore probably OK and trustworthy. The features, letters, adverts and Councillor reports are invaluable.

I love reading your magazine...it’s full of local news, information and good adverts.

Keep up the good work!

C. CROSSLEY

MATT, HASHTAG GARDENING

“ Great magazine! EssentialsMAG is the first place I go to if I’m looking for a local trade.

So far, every local company I have called from the magazine have been great. The local information is brilliant.

“ I like how professional and well presented EssentialsMAG is, and how you pack so much useful and interesting information, features and local news into each issue.

S. TILSTON

It's also very useful that the magazine can be read online.

H. MORGAN

Love EssentialsMAG and I look forward to receiving it - appreciate I can read it online.

I pass my copy to my Mum after I've read it and Mum looks forward to it too now!

S. EVANS

“

I keep my issues for quite a few months, and often find myself looking back online for specific articles or advertisements.

I have recently moved to the area and found EssentialsMAG very helpful indeed. It’s an excellent read and the local and professional services are on hand for myself and my family to support.

EssentialsMAG is a great place for keeping up with what's going on in our village, and neighbouring villages, and for finding contact details for different services and village activities.

Vicky was very efficient at responding to my enquiry. Really quick service designing and finalising my advert design. I received new clients through two editions which has paid for itself. I will definitely use EssentialsMAG again. It’s a personal touch when you receive a surprise thank you through the post too! Thank you Vicky.
