What you get
A campaign, not just an advert Coverage across whichever mix of magazine, Signal Weekly, Signal TV and the website suits your budget and your customers, built around your story rather than a set template. Our digital magazine also carries its own banner sponsorship, if you'd rather sit alongside the issue than inside it. |
Readers who trust what they're reading We're independent, non-profit and a regulated member of IMPRESS, so our audience reads us because they trust us, not because an algorithm put us there. That trust extends to the businesses we feature. |
Options that fit, not a fixed rate card Tell us what you're trying to achieve and we'll shape something around it, whether that's a full campaign or a modest starting point. Where it's useful, we can also set up trackable QR codes or offer codes, so you can see exactly which channel is bringing customers through the door. |
