Testimonies for all 3 of our papers
“I was really pleased. I had lots of feedback
- it just goes to show how well the paper is read.”
Sam Keller, Train Station Creche, Frome
“Many thanks for the advertising you did for us recently. It got our business off to a flying start. We picked up six customers off the first advert and now we are finding it difficult to cope with all the work."
Nick Smith, Lawn Maintenance and Patio Washing, Frome
"We started getting calls as soon as the advert came out. I think the key point is that other papers are really expensive to advertise in - Frome Times is a lot less expensive and we have had a great response."
Keith Parker, Tango & Salsa Classes,
Frome
“I had a great response from the ad and I would like to thank you for including the written piece about my business. I have had several enquiries following this and I really appreciated you including this and it most definitely helped. I will be in touch when I am ready to advertise again.”
Marcine, Mobility2U,
Westbury
“I would just like to say what a good response we have to our advert in Melksham News. I always ask new customers where they’ve heard about us and 99% say your paper. I’ve tried quite a few other ways to advertise and none of them work anywhere near as well as Melksham News. Everyone in town reads it.”
Lawrence Webb, Webb Private Hire,
Melksham
"We started having calls on the day the advert went out and we're still getting calls now. Out of all of the papers we have used, we've by far had the best response from Melksham Independent News."
Paul Boenigk, VIP Fitness Studio,
Broughton Gifford
"We ask people where they have heard about us, and people have been saying the Melksham Independent News. We have spoken to other newspapers but find that they ask for ridiculous amounts of money for the same advert. We don't advertise anywhere else - we find that people read the Melksham News which is why they see our advert."
Christine York, Anton's,
Melksham
“We’ve had a wonderful response, absolutely brilliant. We keep a check on where all our enquiries come from and your papers are by far the best.”
Ransome Sunblinds
“Can I just say a really big thank you for your recent advert and feature. It was brilliant and worked much better that I could have dreamed of. It has given my business a fantastic start - I’ve been able to give up my day job to go full time and I am already booked up solid for the next three months.”
Sylvie Miles, Smiles Painting and Decorating
“As I will be retiring at the end of February, would you please cancel my advertisement in Melksham Independent News. Thank you for your help over the past few years. The advertisements have brought in a significant amount of work in the Melksham area. I am looking forward to putting my feet up whilst you continue to keep up the good work you are doing!”
MJ Butler, UK Blinds
“I’m absolutely thrilled to bits with it. I spent £800 with another local paper and didn’t get a thing. Since your paper came out, the phone hasn’t stopped. I can’t tell you how well it’s gone. I can guarantee I’ll be using you again in the future. It’s been absolutely fantastic.”
Mary Hay, Magic Moments
