Six reasons to partner with us.

01

A publishing brand people already know

The Town & Village Editions belongs to the wider Absolutely publishing family, rather than being created as a standalone local directory/magazine.

02

Premium editorial standards

Independent local editorial gives readers a reason to engage with the publication and gives advertising a considered environment in which to appear.

03

Hyperlocal distribution

Editions are built around defined postcode sectors, helping advertisers focus their spend on the communities most relevant to their business.

04

Design that protects your brand

Strong typography, photography, illustration and production standards create an environment suited to both ambitious independent businesses and established brands.

05

Print and digital under one roof

Selected campaigns can extend from local print into clearly labelled sponsored content, advertorial and digital opportunities across the wider Absolutely ecosystem. We can also run your digital campaigns via our sister agency Digithrive. 

06

Built for repeated local visibility

Three, six, nine and twelve-month campaigns allow businesses to build familiarity and higher returns on investment.

Who advertises

Built for businesses ready to be seen.

If your customers live within a few miles of your door, this is the audience you are paying for — reached bigger, presented better, remembered bolder.
