Advertiser and client testimonials

“Commiting to any business such as ours comes with a lengthy price tag and so the need to fenerate a fast income is ever growing but where do you start?. We tried online advertising soley as the media always remind us that most people are doing their shopping online. We chose Scottish Field because this is a magazine we have always read and enjoyed, and we were aware how we had in the past responded ourselves to various suppliers who advertised within the magazine. We couldn’t have predicted the response we received and within the office we can tell which day the magazine has gone on sale due to the enquiry load we promptly receive. We are in a position that as far as Scotland is concerned we are more than happy with using just the one magazine as no other has competed with it’s generated responses.”

PUNLER, ROYAL SCOTTISH SHIPPING LINE

“We are pleased to say we have received a great response to our recent advertisement in the Epicurean Corner feature in Scottish Field. It has had the desired effect of directing readers to our website and placing orders.”

SANDISONS (UNST) LTD

Scottish Field is our primary paper based marketing channel where most of our customers see us come from. Over the years we have spent a small fortune experimenting with many alternative forms of advertising and publications. This speaks volumes for the value of our relationship with Scottish Field.

“Scottish Field has been without question out most important advertising medium in 2018 as well as trusted partner for the design of our adverts. The sales team understand our small business venture and suggest relevant opportunities for advertising.

Scottish Field has played a key part in that progress and we look forward to coninuing our advertising with them in 2018 and beyond”
