Essential information when parents need it most

The Family Grapevine is an A4 free magazine packed with local information. Aimed at parents, grandparents and carers, it provides details of events, activities and services relevant to families with children from pregnancy and beyond. The Family Grapevine retains a strong identity and a very loyal readership and advertiser base.

Our readers prefer quick and easy to find information, helpful ideas and essential facts. The Family Grapevine offers concise, accurate information, also suggesting fun things to do for every budget. Research shows that when planning time with their children, parents turn time and again to the Family Grapevine to find information for all ages.

The Family Grapevine magazine has become a staple of the Surrey and Berkshire household, with parents keeping it for reference well past its end date. It is printed and distributed three times a year in March, July and November, to tie in with the school holidays. It can be viewed online and on the move via mobile. The Family Grapevine is the longest running and most comprehensive publication of its kind.

We appeal to both large and small advertisers as we offer an affordable highly effective promotional tool. In our Family Grapevine magazines 75% of our advertisers repeat their booking every year.

Why advertise?Advertising allows you to reach the people who genuinely need your services. It helps you…

• Build awareness. Advertising gets your name out there. When people see your advert, a visual memory stays with them. The more they see it, the greater the chance they will spend money with you. For the best discount rates, book your advertising space in consecutive issues.

• Budget. Our magazine is not a ‘glance then throw it out’ title. Experience tells us that parents keep back copies and new issues, as the information is constantly updated. All this is good news for advertisers, as longer shelf life represents strong value for money when considering your advertising budget.

• Find new customers. New families move into the area all the time and become your potential customers. Lifestyles change along with disposable income, creating new footfall.

• Generate repeat business. You must constantly remind people that you exist. Your name must be at the forefront of their mind when they need the products or services you offer.

• Gain a competitive advantage. There are only so many customers in the market ready to buy at any one time. Advertising gives you an advantage over competitors who do not advertise or who carry out other marketing activity. Our most consistent advertisers are generally the most successful.
