Mid Cornwall Advertiser

The Cornwall Review

“We have booked in excess of 100% increase on last year’s total day sailing figures and we haven’t even been to sea yet! We have only used the ‘Advertisers’ for this campaign so it is easy to see where the results come from.”
Marketing Manager, Square Sail, Charlestown

“I wanted to pass on my thanks for your help in getting my advertisement in so close to printing. The piece was a great success. I was really pleased with the way it was laid out and especially pleased with the response!”
Darren Rowe, Stockbroker and Financial Advisor

“We find the Mid & North Cornwall Advertisers the most effective form of advertising in Mid and North Cornwall.”
Raymond Harvey, Managing Director, ETS

“Thank you for excellent advertising!”
Evan Holman, Motor Select

“I guarantee that the phone will ring – so many people read the paper.”
Tony Interiors

“We thought we were too busy to need to advertise, but when we did advertise in the NCA, we noticed a marked increase in sales – obviously we weren’t busy enough!”
M & R Motors, Tintagel

“The NCA has without doubt been my most effective and best value for money advertising. I would definitely recommend advertising with them to anyone.”
Michelle Hazeldine, The Blind Co, Wadebridge

“I am advertising again this month in view of some of the excellent comments and phone calls I received as a result of last month’s auction ad in the Advertiser. It was good to see a number of new faces at the auction – I am sure many were as a result of the ad and the article in the paper.”
Philip Buddell Auctioneers

From Our Readers:

I have just received the Mid Cornwall Advertiser for the first time and I just want to say how delighted I was to receive it. It is packed with everything I want – up to date diary dates and interesting articles – much more informative than the paper I buy each week. Thank you!
Unsolicited call from Truro

“We moved two months ago to Goonhavern and have missed you. Glad you’re now in this area.”
Michael Wraight, Lakeside

Mrs R Hubbard, Towcester
