Advertise with us

alderleyedge.com, knutsford.com, prestbury.com and wilmslow.co.uk are community platforms which have been designed specifically for those who live, work or socialise in the area, therefore they provide access to a highly targeted audience.

Our readers really are your local customers. Because we only cover Alderley Edge, Knutsford, Prestbury and Wilmslow the majority of our users are from this specific geographic area so you won't be paying extra to advertise your business elsewhere.

Advertising on our network of sites is very affordable and you only pay when adverts are delivered to our readers so there is no wastage. You know exactly how many times your advert is shown, compared to advertising in a local paper or magazine which is put through somebody's letterbox and you have no guarantee they will read it let alone look at the page featuring your ad.

Our advertising packages are very flexible and ideal for promoting specific offers, product lines, events or simply putting your brand in front of local people. We can change the advert at any time and you can provide a selection of different adverts to run on a rotational basis.

Each of our local sites also has a dedicated iPhone app which each have a growing and very loyal audience. Mobile advertising opportunities will be available from Summer 2012.

Advertising Opportunities

We run two 300x250 adverts on a page. Your adverts will appear in these slots on a rotational basis with other advertisers across all three sites. The frequency of your adverts depends on the volume of impressions you book. You specify how many times, in increments of a thousand, you would like your adverts to be delivered along with the start and end date of your campaign. There is a minimum booking of 10,000 impressions and the maximum campaign duration is 3 months. Our banner advertising is priced at £15 CPM (cost per thousand impressions). If you have specific requirements we will of course do our best to accommodate them.

Creative Services

If you would like we can create the adverts for you. Below are examples of banner adverts we have created for some of our advertising clients. We will provide one free advert per campaign and one free revision. Additional adverts and revisions will be charged at £25 per advert and £10 per revision. The creatives we produce can of course be used for future campaigns but they are produced exclusively for campaigns on our network of websites.

Example Adverts

Users will be able to click on the entire area of the advert and be delivered to your web site or any URL you specify. If you do not have a web presence the click through destination can be your businesses listing in our directory. Click throughs have been removed from the examples below.
