We know that, often, advertisements need to be seen several times before a reader will ring to make contact. Many advertisers pay by standing order, whereby the advertiser pays one tenth of the bill over ten consecutive months.
01
A reputable local magazine will be able to help you formulate an effective and innovative advertisement and the benefits of being a long term advertiser are far more rewarding than a one off.
02
Establishing a presence in a community magazine will have significant benefits for your business, not only in terms of customers, but also of respect by the community at large.
03
Local magazines are enjoyed by a wide spectrum of people, particularly the active young and the active elderly who are at home during the day.
04
Our reputation has been made, we believe, on goodwill, empathy and trust. We are here both to listen and help.

Benefits to advertisers
New people are moving into the Thatcham area regularly – many with little or no local knowledge. Thatcham Library tell us how much new residents enjoy Thatcham Connections where, after reading, they then stand a fair chance to be off to a good start. Thatcham Connections offers the perfect opportunity for businesses to get themselves in front of these new potential customers.
It works
We are regularly told that people look forward to receiving the new issue of Thatcham Connections. It is not only the editorial content which people respect, it is also the advertisers who, literally, become part of the ‘fabric – friends!’
It is truly local
