Testimonials for Sussex Local Magazine
We are very pleased with Sussex Local. We know we won’t get something every month, but when we did the Parham show, loads of people came up and said they recognized me and read the article every month – so that was nice! Some people said it was the first thing they turn to, so I was really pleased. Louisa Bell, City and Country Landscapes July 2010
Ross and Bob have had a tremendous amount of success from adverting in your magazine and are very pleased with the amount of business it has brought in for Regency – 2 very happy campers there! Regency Carpets, Findon, July 2010
I would like to thank Sussex Local for the recent volunteers article you did for us recently, this has generated more interest than any other method we had previously used and now have an additional two wonderful volunteers working for Sparks as a result. – Thank You – Ann-Marie, Sparks – The Children’s Medical Research Charity. May 2010

Thought I would let you know that the latest series of ads we are running about Freeesat have produced excellent results - especially in Storrington, West Chiltington and Ashington. It was very helpful to have some editorial running alongside as this helped to re-inforce the message. Many thanks for all your help with this, and we will start our new campaign in the autumn when the television selling season really gets going.

"I would like to thank Sussex Local for helping me in achieving my goals by growing the awareness of my company. When I was looking for a publication to advertise my business in I considered many local business directorys but I found that most were just considered junk mail by the readers, this is not the case with Sussex local as I have found by talking to many people in the area that look forward to receiving the publication each month for the articles on their local area. After deciding to advertise with Sussex Local I have been very pleased with the response I have received its not only generated new leads but has also raised the profile of my company within the area."
Barny Hall, Director, Clear Computing, Angmering, May 2008
"I have used Sussex Local for my advertising and have always found the feedback to be very good, particularly the last advert I placed which brought in people from as far as Worthing.
