At Read This Magazine, our core mission is to build a foundation of trust with you, whether you are a business partner or a valued reader. We understand that choosing the right platform for your business needs is crucial, and we are committed to ensuring that your decision to work with us is the best one.
Our dedication to excellence is reflected in every aspect of our magazine, from content creation to delivery.
Our Commitment to Quality and Local Support
Partnership with Walstead UK:
We are proud to collaborate with Walstead UK, a division of the Walstead Group, which is Europe’s largest and fastest-growing independent commercial web-offset printing company. This partnership not only ensures the highest quality of our magazine but also supports local businesses and employment in Bicester. By choosing us, you’re indirectly contributing to the local economy and job market.
Delivery You Can Rely On:
Our magazines reach your hands through Royal Mail Door to Door, a service with a heritage of over 500 years. This long-standing institution is trusted by 80% of the UK’s top advertisers. The effectiveness of their door drops is remarkable, with 73% of items receiving attention and 67% influencing purchase decisions.
This level of engagement and reliability is what we bring to your advertisements.
Upholding Data Safety and Compliance
The introduction of GDPR in May 2018 marked a significant shift in data handling and privacy. We have embraced these changes wholeheartedly, ensuring that we work only with suppliers who meet these stringent standards. Your data’s safety is paramount to us, as detailed in our comprehensive Privacy Policy.
Enhancing Your Advertising Experience
Understanding Cost Per Thousand (CPT):
We believe in transparency and value for your investment. The CPT metric is crucial in evaluating the effectiveness of your advertising spend. We offer clear insights into the reach and cost-effectiveness of your advertisements, ensuring that you receive the best return on your investment.
Guaranteed Circulation Figures:
Trust is built on proof. To this end, we have Walstead validate the number of copies printed for each issue. These verifications are available to you, providing assurance of the reach and impact of your advertisements. If you would like to see a copy, please email: [email protected]
Delivery Methods and Their Impact:
The method of magazine delivery is as important as the content itself. We use audited services like Royal Mail, ensuring that your message reaches its intended audience effectively. This contrasts sharply with unaudited services or less reliable ‘free to pick up’ methods, which can compromise the authenticity of CPT and the impact of your message so reliable data from organisations like the Audit Bureau of Circulations becomes invaluable.
For instance, their report reveals that the Banbury Guardian had an average weekly circulation of 3,644 from January to December 2020. Such metrics are not just numbers; they represent the reach and influence your business can achieve in today’s market. Royal Mail’s Customer Summary Report for the Door-to-Door service can be found here.
