Using press and magazine advertising, brochures, mailings - old hat or still cost-effective?

Magazine advertising

Post by Loopy Lou »

Is it worth spending £250 or more for 6 months advertising in one of the non-argent life French magazines?

Is it worth spending money on advertising in The Lady?

Are you finding that no-one and nothing is happening at the moment on the booking front or is it just me?

We have advertised several times with the Lady. Never again. Absolutely no response.

Can't comment on the French magazines but £40 a month is a reasonable price in our experience, IF it works. Nothing is reasonably priced if it doesn't work!

Can't really comment on bookings as we are busy with skiing season enquiries and bookings. We don't expect summer bookings to get going until January, with just a few in the run up to Christmas, although we have got more bookings than usual for next summer.
