WHY ADVERTISE IN PRINT?
While digital advertising is a powerful tool, print media still holds a special place in the wedding planning process. Engaged couples actively seek inspiration in physical magazines and trust curated content more than a random online ad. Studies by IPSOS show that print ads are viewed for 2.5 times longer than digital ones, leading to better brand memorability for your business. Plus, brides often keep their wedding magazines for years to come, serving as a long-lasting reminder of your services.
IS MY TARGET AUDIENCE REACHED THROUGH TWGUK HANDBOOK?
At The Wedding Guide UK we strategically distribute 8,000 copies of each bi-annual issue directly to engaged couples via wedding fairs, venues, wedding shops and Registrar’s offices from the top of Northumberland to the bottom of Yorkshire. This ensures your ad reaches engaged couples actively planning their weddings.
