Adverts generating a number of calls and subsequent work, so going well! Amanda Mitchell, PS & AB Mitchell Electrical Contractors, Ashington, November 2008
A big thankyou to Kris and the team at Sussex Local. Since starting our column and adverts four months ago we've had numerous enquiries and four new contracts for websites and design - from companies large and small. I'm really thrilled how this truly local magazine is working for Local Web Solutions and LWS Creative!

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
