Atworth Village Magazine - Advertising |
How to advertise in our magazine
The Atworth Village magazine accepts advertisements from
businesses everywhere, and from individuals. Businesses can advertise their
good and services, whilst individuals can advertise items they may have for
sale, wanted or lost and found.

The magazine has a circulation of 585 copies each month, and is delivered to every home in
Atworth. There are also a number of subscribers outside the village who receive a copy by post. If you
would like to subscribe, please contact:
distribution@atworth.org.uk. The magazine also gains circulation by download from the website,
amounting to many hundreds each year, although downloads exclude advertising.
Inserts
Please note that we do not deliver inserts with the magazine for any organisation or event that
involves any kind of charge or entry fee.
Organisations wishing to deliver such a leaflet may send in the leaflet as copy, and we can incorporate it
as a pull-out centre double-A5 page, or a cut-out single A5 page (double-sided in either case). This will
then be charged according to the number of pages. Full colour is available for such advertisements, as
detailed below (see "
Colour versus Greyscale").
If your organisation wishes to deliver a greetings card, leaflet or report which does not involve an event
that is chargeable in any way then we may be able to help. You should note that if such an insert is
accepted, it is essential that your organisation is able to carry out the insertion of about 530 copies
(the in-parish circulation) on the same day that we collect the printed magazine from our printer, as
there is no scope for any delay to our distribution and delivery arrangement.
All advertising copy for the magazine must always be sent
direct to the Editor,
and must be received on or before the 12th of the month preceding cover
date. As the magazine is always very busy with advertising, you are advised to get your copy in well before
the copy date.
Copy received after the copy date is not likely to be included,
as we work to a very constrained production cycle.
Please ensure that you include a fixed line telephone number, a contact
name, and postal address for invoicing.

Specimen copies for
Advertisers
Advertisers can obtain a specimen copy free-of-charge by download from this site (please see the Magazine
Archive on the main Magazine page). Also copies are usually available from the Bear Garage or the White
Hart in Atworth and from Smith's Stores in Whitley for £0.50p. Otherwise, please send in an order to the
Editor, either for a single copy (£1.00) or for a year (£10.00). These prices include second class post.
Copies of your advertisement
If you wish to receive a copy of the magazine with
your advertisement within it, please indicate that, in your booking email or letter. You will then be
charged a small additional sum for each month for which you require a copy. The charge is currently £1.00
per copy sent by second class post.
Advertisement Dimensions
The magazine page size is A5, and we offer the following
sizes:
If you click on a link, you can see exactly what size and shape
your advertisement will be in the magazine. If you are designing your
advertisement yourself, you must take the shape and size into account, so that
we don't have to squash your advertisement into an odd shape in order to fit
it into the advertisement format that you have chosen.
Remember that most of the magazine is currently printed in monochrome
greyscale (that is "black, white and grey"). If you send us an advertisement in
colour, you may be surprised when you see it! For example, red and blue show
excellent contrast in colour, but they may look the same in grey scale.
Therefore it is better to convert your advertisement to grey scale before
sending it, or at least, look at it in greyscale, so that you get no
unpleasant surprises!
We also publish about four glossy colour covers each year - often those of June, July, August and
September. For these issues we offer a colour enhancement option. Please email the editor at
magazine@atworth.org.uk if you would like to reserve the
inside front, or inside back, cover for your colour advertisement.
We can also offer a glossy full colour centre page advertising option for £135 (single issue). This gives
you 4 A5 pages in the centre of the magazine. These pages can of course be pulled out for readers to keep
when you wish
to publicise an event or a special occasion.
Except for eighth page, we offer discounts where an advertisement is booked into a
series of six or twelve consecutive issues of the magazine. The charges are as
follows, per issue booked:

Your Contact Details, and
Payment
Please ensure that you include with your advertising copy a
fixed line telephone number (no mobiles please), a contact name, and a postal address for invoicing.
As we are unable to chase invoice payment, please note that
your invoice is due as soon as you receive it. If we do not receive your payment your advertising space
will be allocated to another advertiser, and your advertisement will not appear. Therefore, to be assured of your advertising booking, please pay
your invoice by return of post.
Series bookings remaining unpaid by the following copy date will
be withdrawn.
Please note that the magazine reserves the right to publish a list of such bad debts annually.
Your invoice
will include the address to which your payment must be sent. If you wish to
have a receipt for your payment, it is necessary to include a stamped
addressed envelope with your payment.
You are permitted to make up to 2 changes of copy for
advertisement series of 6, and up to 4 changes for series of 12, provided changes are received on or before the copy date.
