LOCAL PEOPLE LIKE LOCAL BUSINESSES, ESPECIALLY NOW. Customers not only get great personal service and value, they also help strengthen the local community and economy.

OUR MONTHLY MAGAZINES ARE READ AND RETAINED. The quality of our professionally produced publication means that it is valued as a source of current local information and kept on coffee tables until the next one comes along.

WE DELIVER THROUGH THE LETTERBOX! As well as the availability from many pick up points across the region, we predominantly target our deliveries to homes that will buy from you.

THE RIGHT MESSAGE DELIVERED IN THE RIGHT WAY FOR YOUR AUDIENCE. We’ll work with you to create feature articles, adverts and even host competitions to ensure your key messages are conveyed to your prospective local customers in the right way.

DO YOU NEED FLYERS DELIVERED? Do you have price lists, menus or special offers? We can insert your flyer into most of our major rounds and cover most areas.

FREE SOCIAL MEDIA ADVERTS If you’ve taken us up on our free artwork creation service, we’d like to take it a step further... Once approved, upon request, we’ll generate a FREE web ready version of your artwork for you to share across your own social media platforms. Just ask.

Advertising with you always works for us, thank you.

All our bookings so far, have come from you - and we’re flat out!

WHATEVER LOCAL BUSINESS YOU’RE IN, WE’RE IN BUSINESS TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS

Welcome,

When I started Village Eye Magazine from my garage at home in Burghfield Common back in 2011, the idea was to create a decent, informative publication which locals would look forward to receiving, read and retain every month.

As a small marketing business, I wanted to find a way to help other local businesses to promote their goods and services in an affordable yet effective way to the communities they serve. Now in our 11th year, the popularity of our magazine continues to flourish. Our circulation is growing, we employ a small and happy local team, and have even won a number of awards including Best Regional Lifestyle Magazine and the Berkshire Business Champions Award for our efforts to help local businesses survive and flourish throughout the COVID period. Put simply, we’re a small local business who are in business to help your local business grow!

Whether you have only just discovered Village Eye Magazine, or are a seasoned reader, if you’re in business locally, then we’d love to have a chat with you about ways we can help you to get more customers. Give us a call, send a carrier pigeon or message us on social media.

However you decide to get in touch, we are confident that you’ll be pleased you did.

If you’d like to speak to me directly, call: 0118 933 2266 or WhatsApp directly on 07962 406636. Have a fabulous 2022.

We love social media, have a wide reach and regularly post (as all businesses should). BUT, if posting on social media is the only thing you are doing, you are gambling on your target customers being online, on the right page at a precise time along with your competitors. Our magazine is read, retained and trusted by locals.
