News the local
Dear Readers
We have again increased our distribution number this month so you may be receiving this for the first month. Welcome! the local Oracle started 12 years ago as a small business publication to people moving from outside the area to Kings Hill, West Malling. Over the years we have increased our distribution from 2,500 to 54,000 each month across 4 different areas. Unlike most other publications, we have increased our numbers of advertisers by word of mouth, the publication itself and networking. We have many advertisers who have been with us from the start as they receive most if not all of their business from the local Oracle. If you know of any local business that needs a boost in any of our areas, please do email or give us a call. Each edition can be found on our website along with more details of advertisers by category and we have a calendar with events across all areas. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Anna & Jane Suite 23, 10 Churchill Square Business Centre, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YU
