The questions everyone asks
Answered here so neither of us has to do the email tennis.
Who writes the copy?
We do, and we write it our way. It goes out in the newsletter's own voice, the one readers already trust, which is the whole reason it gets read instead of scrolled past. Send us the details and a photo and we'll take it from there.
What do you need from me?
One good photo, a link for the button, and a line about what you're promoting. That's it. If you've got an Instagram account, we can usually pull what we need from there.
Will it look like an advert?
No. Sponsored sections read exactly like the rest of the newsletter, which is the reason they get clicked. Readers get a recommendation, you get customers.
When do I need to book by?
48 hours before the edition you want, so there's time to write it properly. Later than that, email us and we'll see what's possible.
Do I really get the social posts included?
Yes. Every paid slot gets an Instagram carousel, an Instagram Story share and a Facebook post. Both accounts grow daily, so the posts keep getting seen after they go live.
Why not just run social ads?
You can pay for views from anyone, anywhere, and hope. Or you can pay to be seen by the people who can actually walk through your door. Your message lands in inboxes, not a busy feed.
