Advertiser testimonials

D 4 Dogs

"I have been regularly advertising my dog training and dog walking services in the 'Alcester and Villages' issues of the Arrow Advertiser for some years now.

John is a delight to deal with and gives a very personal service when we chat about renewing my contract and updating details within the ads. If amendments are needed I'm able to have full input when proofs are sent through and the ads always look great. It is unusual for me not to gain contacts each month, if they go on to become clients then, of course, the advertisement "pays for itself".

As the Arrow Advertiser is delivered by Royal Mail, delivery is guaranteed and reaches many, many households in the area. It is an easy read, well laid out and very useful when looking for local businesses. Now sponsored by a National dog food production company "Skinner's", my own company is proud to appear in, and support, this professional and clearly laid out magazine".

Pro-Smart Cleaning Services (Midlands)

"As a young trade business starting up, Arrow Advertiser was easily my primary source of new customers. From the first month of advertising, I was picking up new work. Not only directly from the advertisements but then the follow on work from being approached on site. Customers clearly trust the Arrow Advertiser and it has become a no-brainer for Pro-Smart to advertise in the publication every month of the year".

TMS Car Storage

"We have ran an advert in the Arrow Advertiser for the past 6 months, and we have been delighted with the results. The brilliantly created adverts have generated numerous enquiries for our ‘Premium Car Storage’ services.
John is the most helpful, and personable marketing expert I have worked with to date. John is always available to aid the creation of our adverts, and he enjoys adding his ideas and expertise into the mix".

Avon Services Heating and Plumbing Ltd

"We have had an advert with Arrow since the start of our business and have found the entire process so easy. The staff are a delight to deal with, quick response times, easy to edit advertisements if needed, and you get a copy sent to you too when they are published (which is rare but so appreciated!)
From setting up the advert, to payment, to new customers as a result of the ads, all of it has been so simple, and we are proud of the long-standing relationship we have with the team at the Arrow Advertiser".

Lucy - Avon Services Ltd

The Golden Cross

"We made the decision to transfer our advertising needs to The Arrow Advertiser and are thoroughly delighted with the impact it has had on our business. A great combination of personalized professional service, high-quality artwork, and value for money. The investment we make in advertising has increased our guest numbers and John has tailored our advertising package to meet our needs perfectly. I would not hesitate to recommend The Arrow Advertiser to other small businesses".

The Broom Tavern

"I was recommended by a local company nearly 8 years ago now and haven't looked back since! John and his team have helped to produce great quality adverts over the years (from our very boring Word documents!) that encompass how we want our business to come across.

The prices are very reasonable for what you get in return and particularly throughout lockdown, John has been more than understanding and helped to pause adverts and even give us greater reach for free when we re-opened to help us get back on our feet. The Arrow advertiser is what supporting local is all about and we are very happy to be included in it".

Kelly - The Broom Tavern

Kenmoore Design Ltd

"We at Kenmoore Design Ltd have been advertising in the Arrow Advertiser for a sustained period and been impressed with both the quality and professionalism of the team. The advert design and swift attention to detail and customer service has been excellent and our business has seen increased turnover on the back of it during tough times".

Andy Miles - Ken Moore Design Ltd

Merry Legs Pressing

"This year we decided to expand our Apple Pressing service which people only really knew about via word of mouth or if they had discovered our website. To do so, we chose the Arrow Advertiser - and it has been a fantastic success.

The Arrow Advertiser allowed us to target potential customers in a couple of local areas which was ideal for our business. The staff professionally adapted our artwork and copy to fit into the magazine, and as soon as the advertiser started dropping through people's letterboxes, we had a flood of phone calls, email inquiries, and the number of visits to our website rocketed.

We're so pleased that we chose the advertiser as the sales it has generated has created have more than paid for the cost and allowed us to rapidly grow this corner of our business."

Nick - Merry Legs Pressing

Keiron Perry By Design Limited

"I first contacted Arrow Advertiser when I wanted to build my local client base without spending more than I needed to in a large circulation newspaper or local country magazines. They were very easy to work with as I have never advertised like this before and created all the artwork for my approval. I have now been in the Arrow for a couple of months and starting to notice local people coming in".

Nail Studio

"The Arrow Advertiser has been invaluable to me over the last fifteen years, the fact that I have continued to advertise all this time is testimony itself. I have gained many new clients partly because it is delivered door to door by the postman and everyone gets a copy. It is especially useful for people moving into the area when they are finding their way around and looking for a local service. It has definitely helped me build my business and I still meet new clients every week that have found my salon number in the publication"
