Advertise in our printed guides

Delighted with the results from our digital package!

I have worked with Kingfisher Visitor Guides for over six years now, but only in the print format which has always been very successful for my business. This year I decided to expand this to include the digital package and have been both surprised and delighted with the results! The digital package has increased traffic to our website and online purchases have increased, as did bookings to the workshops and footfall in the shop. Working with Kingfisher has always been very easy – they do an excellent job with the design element and create a visually striking advert for us that grabs the attention of readers. Advertising a business can be expensive and often it is difficult to determine if the money has been well spent, but with Kingfisher Visitor Guides’ campaigns the results are obvious. I would not hesitate to recommend Kingfisher Visitor Guides to any business.

Fine customer service from Kingfisher Visitor Guides

Fine customer service from Kingfisher Visitor Guides. In the midst of the current Covid-19 pandemic we have decided to advertise in their guide because it is an excellent product with easily a 12-month shelf life. The hardback book format is superior to other guides and the design is excellent with a good quality print process, great photography and well-researched information throughout.

We definitely receive bookings directly from each regional guide

I started advertising in 2017 in ‘Welcome to Gloucestershire’ and because of the great response I receive from my advertising in the guide, together with the ongoing expansion of our business, I am now advertising successfully in 13 titles across the country. We offer a specialist luxury VIP car service to both the business and private sector, so these high-end guides are perfect for us to reach our affluent target audience every year. We definitely receive bookings directly from each regional guide, which is why we are very happy to continue our working relationship and look forward to appearing in more titles as we expand further.

We can accurately measure the visitation generated by our advert, and it grows year on year

Brighton Sea Life has advertised in the ‘Welcome to Brighton & Hove’ visitor guide for several years, and benefitted from increased visitation as a result. The quality of this Kingfisher publication compared to other bedroom browsers is far superior and as a result has a greater readership. Because we have a promotional discount code on our advert we can accurately measure the visitation generated, and it grows year on year consistently.

Due to the excellent response I’ve had, I would definitely recommend it

This will be my third year advertising in ‘This is Edinburgh’, and due to the excellent response I’ve had, I would definitely recommend it. I have given up placing adverts in the newspapers as it has been a waste of time. During the Edinburgh Festival especially, in the past week I have got four lovely new customers who read my advert in ‘This is Edinburgh’ in their different hotel bedrooms. They all said that they would definitely be returning. Great to hear!

We had a lot of visitors to our shop following publication

I have been delighted with our advert in ‘Welcome to Bristol’. We had a lot of visitors to our shop following publication of the book.

We have had an excellent response from it

Advertising in ‘This Is Edinburgh’ has been great for us. It’s a very classy publication and we’ll certainly keep advertising in it. Good job! We have had an excellent response from it and look forward to taking out the same 1/2 page package again.

We have seen a marked increase in both enquiries and bookings

I would just like to thank you for your assistance in putting together our advert for the back cover of your ‘This is Liverpool’ publication. By advertising in this fantastic publication we have seen a marked increase in both enquiries and bookings following the advert placed with you.

It was a pleasure to see such visible results

We got a great response to our advertisement in this excellent publication. After 17 years of often-ineffective advertising in various media, it was a pleasure to see such visible results.

This avenue really does work for us

We have been working with Kingfisher for six years. As the publication is placed in the nearby hotels, we feel that this avenue really does work for us. We frequently ask how people have heard of us and a good percentage is through the publication, especially at the weekends and over the summer period. It is the only form of advertising we use and we feel it is good value for money as the quality of the book produced is of a very high standard. I would recommend it to any outlet within the leisure/tourism sector.
