Advertising sales people don’t have the best reputation. Unfortunately, many businesses have experienced bad practices that makes them wary of placing their trust in advertising. Our aim is to restore that trust and improve the reputation of advertising through leading by example. We offer a refreshingly new approach to local marketing, especially for small businesses. If you lack either the time, budget or expertise to market your business as effectively as you’d like, you are speaking to the right people.
Let’s be honest.
We don’t just
sell space.
We listen, support
and deliver.
“Lovely people to work with.”

my business.” Mo Mariner

100% Delivered
Our circulation figures are what we print AND deliver (not free pick up) via two methods:
ROYAL MAIL Why? Rural areas or areas
difficult to reach, often large, detached properties. Discover is often the only publication they receive, good for our advertisers.
Every private household in these postcodes receives a copy delivered with their post;
SO51 sectors 0,6,9 (outside Romsey) SO32 sectors 1, 2 (inc Bishops Waltham) PO17 sector 5 (inc Wickham) SO40 sectors 2,7 (Ashurst, Cadnam, Ower) SO50 sector 7 (Fair Oak, Horton Heath) SO18 sectors 1,3,4,6 (Bitterne)
IN-HOUSE DISTRIBUTORS We don’t use agencies. All our distributors are
closely monitored and managed.

Door to Door Delivery Monitored
ROYAL MAIL
We pay Royal Mail to deliver to every non business address in a postcode sector. It’s a very reliable method of delivery so we don’t carry out secondary checks.
OUR DISCOVER DISTRIBUTORS
Trackers - devices which precisely record and reports a distributor’s journey. Ideal for new starters and random checks.
Competitions - residents supply their postcode to enter - another delivery check method
Mystery Houses - Many routes have mystery houses where residents support Discover by reporting receipt of their copy.
Door to Door Checks carried out by Distribution Supervisors on random routes not covered by the above methods.

When is Discover Delivered?
Each edition is printed bi-monthly yet to ensure a steady stream of enquiries for our advertisers we stagger the deliveries over the two months with three weeks between drops.
Each edition’s split depends on the proportion delivered by Royal Mail. In most cases both deliveries are about the same number. For this reason we quote advertising rates PER MONTH e.g. Romsey Edition Jan/Feb issue: 14,500 circulation bi-monthly
Printed Bi-monthly Delivered Monthly
