News the local

Dear Readers Never have we had so many new advertisers for readers in one month! Everything from Blinds or Education to Jewellery or Mediumship events. We have also had some fantastic feedback from advertisers who find that using the local Oracle is working better for them than any other local or national publication. Readers can trust the local Oracle and always give us a call if they have any questions about a particular advertiser or service required. We donâ€™t have a sales team who bombard our advertisers with calls on a weekly or daily basis; it is just the two of us and we speak to every single advertiser that we have and all of them are with us because they want to be. We send a monthly email to our client base with an update on advertising and local events, so if you would like to join that, please email or call us with your details. Remember, you can see an up to date copy of the local Oracle on line. www.thelocaloracle.co.uk Anna & Jane
