Free sunday times ads..

Post by memes »

Did you know you can put up to 3 lines in the Sunday Times for nothing? You cant say a lot as you have to use a ref no but its enough to say villa pool plus your website addy or phone no..was amazed its free - dont think any of the other broadsheets offer it for free - take a look

Thanks for the tip, I have done it, I'll report back if anything comes of it, but it is only free for a week and this is not exactly the busy time for enquiries...

You can book it for 4 weeks at a time though so just have to remember to redo it every 4 weeks..
They may put a price on it later in the year - I only found out when I called them to ask about rates and she said it had been on offer since jan - kept that quiet..

I've tried on three browsers but no luck - the page was a bit skewed, and I had difficulty entering the text.

Still skewed on my Mac - text overlaid on all 3 browsers - anyone else succeed with a Mac? And where do you get a ref number from - make one up? Sorry, sound stupid but it was hopeless trying to see what I was supposed to be doing even! :(
