Derbyshire Advertising
Local and Affordable

The Rural Trader is an Independent, Local, Monthly advertising magazine, delivered free to over 9,600 homes & businesses in Bakewell & many of the surrounding Villages [Bakewell magazine distribution - area details].

The magazine was launched by Sheldon mum, Wendy Sterritt in October 2007. Wendy teamed up with a friend, Phylida Austin, to bring proven, affordable, effective advertising to local business in Derbyshire.

Wendy knows the area & people well. She & her husband live, work & play here & their two children attend school & numerous after school clubs & activities locally.

Phylida, who is based in Leicestershire, has 6 very well established Rural Trader magazines in rural communities in & around Leicestershire [click here to visit the Leicestershire Rural Trader website]. Her magazines have a loyal readership due primarily to the magazine proving highly beneficial both to advertisers and local residents. Her results speak for themselves…over 90% of her customers are repeat advertisers!

As with all the Rural Traders, the distribution of your Bakewell area magazine is very closely managed. It is carried out by hand, by reliable, local distributors who are well paid for what they do and are happy in the knowledge that frequent spot checks are carried out to ensure the Rural Trader is being delivered where it should be. It is NOT delivered with newspapers, post or a forest of flyers! You can always be assured that your message is reaching the readership in a timely & accurate manner.

Advertising rates are extremely competitive [click here for advertising rates] to get your ad to land on more than 9,300 doormats!

You’ll find the Rural Trader offers remarkable value for money, easy administration, low-key sales techniques and accessible, personal service. Readers see the Rural Trader as a reference directory and may use it more readily than standard national directories due to its compact size, its local nature & its up to date information.

Advertising in the Rural Trader couldn’t be simpler. Ad design is free if required [click here to complete a ‘No Strings, Free Ad Request Form], there are no contracts to sign & no payments up front.
