I haven't really got any room to move, as printing and distribution costs are rather high due to size and amount of magazines!.

Thank You

We will be giving away a mobile phone each month to whoever has the magazine by their phone when we knock on their door too!!

So, they MUST keep the mag for the 3 months to ensure a chance of winning!!

For such a large circulation prices look good to me. Our local newsletter has a circulation of 1300 and charges range from £5.50 for a 1/16th single insertion to £600 for 12 quarter page insertions, all B&W.

That said, it does come out monthly though as does Round & About (can't add a link yet, but type it into Google and it will come up) but their charges are steeper than yours for smaller circulations (rates are on their website).

Love the idea of a prize if you have the mag next to the phone when visited - not sure about a mobile phone though - wouldn't encourage me!

Wishing you good luck with the launch.
