The established local magazine charges £297 for the same quarter page.
One small job usually covers the month — a tap repair, a cut and blow-dry, two covers on a Friday night. And unlike a social post that's gone in three seconds, the magazine sits on kitchen counters for a month.
Founding rates for the first 30 advertisers: quarter page £69/month, half page £119, full page £189, back cover £249 — locked for 12 months. Directory-only listing £20/month.
Founding advertisers get first refusal on being the only business of their trade in the magazine — one plumber, one salon, one restaurant per issue, guaranteed while you advertise continuously.
Delivery is trackable and zone-mapped, and we'll show you the print run and zones. If Issue 1 doesn't land as promised, month two is free.
Homes across Newton Mearns, Whitecraigs, Broom and Mearnskirk — the highest-earning council area in Scotland, roughly 90% owner-occupied. Households that pay for good local trades rather than DIY.
You don't need one. Design is free — send whatever you have (a logo, a flyer, a photo of your van) and we'll design the ad and send it for your approval.
