Genuine feedback from businesses who advertise in The Antiques Tourist and use the guide to reach customers across the South West.
We have been advertising with The Antiques Tourist for several years now and it is a mainstay in our annual marketing plans. The format is ideal for our business, competitively priced and we feel a tangible benefit to being included. Having a broad customer demographic, finding a good advertising fit can be hard, this ticks all our boxes.
The Antiques Tourist is the only place we advertise every year without fail. Since opening 5 years ago we have seen an increase in footfall with customers telling us they had read about us in the magazine.
We also love having the magazine in store as our customers are always asking which other shops are nearby that they can visit.
Would always highly recommend advertising within it.
What a serendipitous find the Antiques Tourist guide has proven to be for advertising Christchurch Emporium over the last two years! Not only a magazine sought after, and held on to, by dealers and traders across the 4 counties it covers, but also one picked up by visiting tourists who can then follow a trail of centres in and around the area in search of treasures. It works as a great tool for connecting alike businesses!
The Antiques Tourist magazine has been hugely successful for our business.
I’ve had a lot of people come to us as a direct result of advertising with them.
The Antiques Tourist is a professionally produced publication showing the best of antique, collectable, vintage and decorative on the South Coast.
We have found it to be a very popular ‘pick up’ for customers and traders and we distribute several hundred copies a year — our visitors even ask when to expect the new edition each year.
We are always very pleased with the quality of the print and happy to appear in the pages.
We used The Antiques Tourist for our advertising campaign last year. As an antiques and art gallery attracting the right customers for our range of curios can be a challenge, but their targeted promotion reached exactly the audience we wanted.
The advert not only highlighted our unique collection but also beautifully captured the essence of our store. We have recently moved into framing and restoration and the campaign has really helped launch this new facet of our business.
Since running the ad, we’ve seen a significant increase in foot traffic and sales. We’ve welcomed new loyal customers who found us through the ad.
By advertising in The Antiques Tourist, we reach a wider audience than we could hope for with local advertising. Their publication is as much anticipated as our stock monthly changeover.
