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

I finally managed to join the club and my ad should appear this Sunday*. I had to use a friend's computer. Thanks Memes!BTW, I didn't see anything about being able to have the ad in free for 4 weeks - that was the on-line one I take it?

Normandy Cow's ad is the very first in the France section; well done NC!! I'm jealous! And what a headline. This cow is crafty, folks! 8)

*Could someone please check the Sunday Times on Aug 5th for my ad as I'm out of the country? The reference number is 8307790 Thanks in advance.....

GG, I can't remember at exactly what stage (near to the end of the process I think), there is a small box with a drop down menu, at the top left of the page...you can choose 1-4 weeks.

I've just put mine in again for 4 weeks this time 12/08/07 to 02/09/07.

Well done TP! :D Hope you get the booking!

My online ad has a broken link though. I have emailed them, but have not had an answer. It also seems to be duplicated, but with different text, the text I tried to enter in Firefox, before I had to use IE, stranger and stranger.

TP Good for you :wink: that was Gozo was it...
We both said last night[not that we watch it of course :roll: ] How lovely it was....absolutely stunning views...
we have visited Malta but only briefly...Good for you :!: maybe you could add as seen on Coronation Street!!!!!
Just had a thought..Are you saying that Sunday Times readers watch Coronation Street[I will bet theyd deny It!!]

yes it's all been Gozo, even though they keep saying Malta! In fact most of it has been shot about 400m from our apartment!
