Long Standing Community Newspaper with Loyal Readership & Proven Profitability

An established local community newspaper that has proudly served its local and surrounding areas since 1996. Over the years, the newspaper has grown in strength, with 7,420 copies per issue across 11 issues annually. These copies are delivered door-to-door by local volunteers, with additional copies available in public spaces such as leisure centres, schools, health centres, and local cafés and pubs.

Additionally, the newspaper has an online presence via ISSUU, expanding its reach for advertisers at no extra cost. Its strong reputation for quality and providing long-term visibility for advertisers has earned it a loyal customer base and a positive standing within the local community.

Award-winning and with a long history of supporting local businesses, the newspaper is printed in full colour in an attractive A4 format, and features engaging articles on every page except the back page, ensuring readers spend more time with the publication.

The low operational costs, thanks to the volunteer delivery model, make it a highly efficient business. Advertisers benefit from consistent exposure, with many continuing their partnerships with the paper since its inception. The publication is well-received by residents, who often keep the newspaper longer than other free publications, further enhancing the visibility of advertisers' names.

The newspaper also includes an affordable Business Directory within its pages, providing local businesses with an online listing and allowing them to showcase their services to a wider audience. With minimal operating expenses, the business remains profitable, offering a unique opportunity for a new owner to either continue its successful model or implement future innovations.
