Advertiser Testimonials

"We have been delighted with the response to our advertising in the Wokingham Word and never bother with other publications who do not care where our ad goes. Excellent value for money and Carolyn is always a pleasure to work with. Local advertising for local business for local people."

Jeanette Warr, The Warr Clinic

"The Wokingham Word has been absolutely fantastic for my business 'Gressgardens' over the last couple of years. It has brought in more local work for us than the likes of much larger publications and I feel really grateful to Carolyn for keeping the magazine running and hope she keeps it going for along time to come!.

I also know for a fact that it really appeals to so many people as I am always getting really positive feedback about the mag.

Long Live 'The Wokingham Word' !!!"

Richard Gresswell, Gressgardens

"My advert in the Wokingham word has proved to be a huge success as I now have a fairly large client base gained solely from my advert in WW and word of mouth.  I receive new clients every month, and recently, even more calls due to the larger distribution!  Carolyn is more than helpful and at the beginning gave my business a bit of kick start by writing an advertorial for me, since then has been a great support from advising me on my adverts to the gentle reminders each month when the deadline’s approaching.  I would sincerely recommend the Wokingham Word to any company wanting to expand its local clientele.  Thank you! "

Amanda Cracknell, Beautician

"As an advertiser I'd say my most successful advertising is from The Wokingham Word by far.

I feel this is due to the fact that from the very start of an advert you are able to thrash out ideas and layout.  The adverts are always new, up to date and eye catching.  Lots of my clients now know we have a fresh offer waiting for them each month and can't wait for The Wokingham Word to drop onto their door mat."

Paula Jennings, Kutz Hair Salon

"Gardeneer has advertised with The Wokingham Word from the beginning, providing monthly gardening advice and providing our service to hundreds of its readers.  It has provided Gardeneer with a steady stream of customers and made us the local gardening service of choice. Its readership is directly over our central catchment and we will be continuing our advertising each and every month as we have now for 4yrs."

Tony Hewetson, Gardeneer

"The Wokingham Word has always been a fantastic source of advertising for us, we have built up a large, local customer base with help of the Wokingham Word. Carolyn has been a pleasure to work with and very helpful."

Resident Testimonials

"I love reading the Wokingham Word - not only do I enjoy Carolyn's insights into the world, which make me laugh as I browse the magazine with a coffee in a quiet moment, I also keep it as a reference point for up and coming events or local contacts I might need in an emergency. To top all this, I have also found a great hairdresser and beautician through articles and adverts in the magazine - essentials in life!"

"Thank you for your excellent article on our walk. You 'did us proud'."

Tim Downes, Wokingham Resident

"This magazine is very informative. I especially love Carolyn's introduction, it's always insightful, humorous and honest.  I find the gardening tips especially useful and if I need something done I'll flick through the pages - if Carolyn has a recommendation, that's good enough for me."

Liz Pepper, Wokingham Resident

"Now we are back to winter I look forward to The Wokingham Word cheering me up!"

John Tuck, Wokingham Resident

"Thanks for being so efficient - It has proved to be one of the most successful forms of publicity for the society."

Margaret Wall

"I look forward to receiving The Word, I usually read the intro first as I like to hear what Carolyn has been up to each month and what she is going to either rave or moan about!!

I also like the list of what’s on in Wokingham, it’s very useful for planning what to do at the weekend!"
