Do any of you guys advertise in any magazines etc..?

I had a call from a guy who puts together a magazine for the neighborhood watch yesterday trying to sell me some advertising space. I said call me back in a few days so I can have a think about it, but am a bit reluctant to fork out up to £250 (i'm sure I could talk him down a little) on something I'm not sure will be that effective.

He told me it was for a subscription readership going out to 54,000 homes across Reading.

Maybe if some of you have used this publication before for advertising (even in a different area) maybe you could give me some feedback as to what sort of response you got.

I have recently spent £330 on a listing for yell.com as well as getting a load of leaflets printed off and a website mad up, so i'm sort of swayed to not wanting to spend anymore money, but if someone can tell me otherwise, then I may change my mind:)

dont bother, if you want more work, just go knocking

You have not mentioned if its for some time or just for one print.

Depends what you want to achieve with your name.
Are you aiming to establish a strong name in your area ?
Do you wan't people to recognise your company  ?
or you need just extra customers to bring more business ?
if you aiming just for more business - there is more effective ways of gaining it and much cheaper.

Then turn what you don't want away, and dump your crap work. Don't fall into the trap of taking everything on mate.

Glad the signage worked for you.
