We would absolutely recommend Kingfisher Visitor Guides! We have been incredibly pleased with our page in the hardback publication. They are beautifully presented books and have been a fantastic way for us to engage with local tourism. As a family-run business it was great to have the support of the Kingfisher team all the way through the design process. This year we decided to opt in for the digital advertising too, as we felt this was a great platform to not only promote our business further but also have potential customers connect directly to our website. We look forward to collaborating with the Kingfisher team again next year!

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.

Kingfisher Media have really helped us to boost our brand across social media and to highlight the quality of our food. My account manager is really helpful and full of ideas.

We started advertising with Kingfisher Media after receiving a phone call from Beverley Oakes, an account manager, who then sent us a sample of one of their publications. We agreed to advertise with them to see if it would benefit our business. I have to say we did see an increase in footfall and most visitors had seen our advert in the visitor guide. I would highly recommend to anyone. Kingfisher Media offer an excellent professional service and the visitor guide is presented well.

Kingfisher is a great group to work with – their publications are beautiful hardback books and the quality really stands out. They are always willing to help with artwork and advert design at the drop of a hat. We would definitely recommend that a business advertises with them. We have had many visitors and sales as a result of advertising with Kingfisher, giving us a great brand awareness helping us to reach out to visitors (local and far away). Five-star, professional service all round!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Kingfisher Media have helped me promote my food and boost my brand across Newcastle. Very knowledgeable staff and kept us well informed.

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.

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.

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.

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.

What a superb hardback guide to Oxford and the surrounding areas. A joy to look through. For advertisers it’s excellent value for money. Our advert looks absolutely amazing – we are thrilled to bits with it.

Last year we advertised in ‘This is Leeds’ for the very first time. We mulled over it for some time as, being a small business, we need to be certain every penny is working for us. Within days of ‘This is Leeds’ being published, we saw customers coming in from the hotels. Also, they were the right type of customers and the advert quickly paid for itself. It’s tough deciding what to advertise in at the moment, but ‘This is Leeds’ has been the best value-for-money publication we have been in this year.

I closely monitor every enquiry we get and I was very pleased with the result of our ad in this quality publication. The revenue the advert brought in was ten times the cost of the outlay.

We got an excellent response to our advert – we had a significant number of customers who came to the restaurant after seeing our advert in the publication.

For the last three editions, I have used your Newcastle-Gateshead visitor guide to increase awareness of my business. The response every year gets better and better. We receive many visitors from all over the country and many from overseas – we always ask where they found out about us and 99% say they have read the book in the hotel room where they are staying, or checked out the Kingfisher Visitor Guides website. The business this generates more than covers the cost of the advert and it is always a great investment. I would highly recommend using Kingfisher Visitor Guides to advertise any local business.

I am delighted with the new guide for Dumfries & Galloway. The area I know best is around the small harbour town of Kirkcudbright and thanks to the guide, visitors have been flocking to see our wee corner of Galloway. It’s also good value for money too.

I just wanted to say that since taking the full page advert out in ‘This is Edinburgh’ we have had a significant increase of business from clients staying in the hotels in Edinburgh. Marketing is always a difficult field, trying to find ones that work well, but I have to say this one is working well for JSB Executive Travel. We’re already looking forward to the season.

I recommend Kingfisher Visitor Guides. The hardback publications are a beautiful collection of destinations and places to stay. I’m delighted with the way my business has been presented and happy to be included in the guide as it helps people engage with what is available in Scotland more easily. Kingfisher Visitor Guides are a fabulous way for any tourism related business to reach a wider audience and a great platform for helping a businesses grow and flourish, bringing more customers to the door. Many thanks from all the team at The Black Bull Inn, Moffat.

The ‘Welcome to Brighton & Hove’ publication works well for us, and many of our visitors come to the church having seen our advert in their hotel bedroom guide. We also have a copy of the publication in the church, and, judging by the interest shown in it, I’m sure visitors support the advertisers from the ideas they get on what to see and do.
