MORE THAN SIMPLY AN ADVERT
Advertise in the The Southampton Directory and you get more than just an advert in a magazine. My background is in Lead Generation (which means creation of prospective consumer interest) so here are the bells and whistles available to our advertisers:
Designed to Work
A poor advert will “tell” and not “sell”; that means just saying what the product or service is without enticing the reader to pick up the phone and contact that advertiser by giving benefits or a hook. If you supply finished artwork, I am happy to review it and make suggestions on how to improve it. Long Term Rate advertisers are reminded to update their advert, keep it fresh and benefit from free advert redesign and amends.
Increase Your Web Traffic
E-Newsletter to Residents & Other Businesses
The Southampton Directory is a welcome visitor as it lands on the doormat of 40,000 homes every other month. It’s a trusted source of information and interesting articles so the Residents E-Newsletter is just way of saying hello and expanding on local events with hyperlinks to webpages as well as to advertisers websites.
There are up to 5 advertiser slots per newsletter available at various prices (depending on position). The newsletter database is currently about 500 residents and this will increase as more register online and word spreads.
A monthly newsletter to over 1,500 businesses on our database is a good opportunty to network, business to business. Slots are currently free to Long Term rate advertisers and limited to 3 per email.

Not Online Yet?
If you don’t have a web presence you are missing out on new business and it’s probably because you don’t have the skills, the time or the budget to set up a website. I can set up a simple webpage for you in a short time, hosted on my website and organise the purchase of a domain for you (name of your website).
Go live on the web for only £50 + vat per year. When you are ready, I can arrange your own website with more pages and online enquiry form.
