Advertisers’ Testimonials

We continue to rate The Family Grapevine as our best source of long term advertising so thank you.
Nick Bell of Jo Jingles

If I only advertised in one place it would be The Family Grapevine.
TumbleTots, Tunbridge Wells

I wanted to drop you a line to let you know how successful advertising with the Grapevine was for That Bus. I placed a small box ad for my party bus in two areas for three editions. For a small business just starting out, I didn’t have a lot of money for advertising so went with what appeared to be good value offered by the Grapevine. The magazine’s demographic matches my target audience, ie families with young children seeking something a bit different for their kids’ parties. The response was quite phenomenal. The outlay of under £100 for the ads generated over £1500 in revenue.

Just mailing to let you know a woman from a village outside Brighton rang me tonight and because of seeing the ad in The Grapevine she is organizing a coach filled with every woman from her village! So hooray! Well done The Grapevine!

I have found advertising with The Family Grapevine very successful. The layout is very clear and the magazine is easily accessible by my target group of parents of the under fives.
Robert Webb of Little Kickers, Chobham

Your suggested placement is great. I’ve had a couple of calls from my ad for face painting, which considering we’ve just had Christmas and no one has any money, your magazine really does work!
Gina of Dreamtime Designs, Woking

As a Tumble Tots franchisee, I look forward to the Grapevine because I know that as soon as its distributed, I’ll have calls coming in for trials. And as a mum, I’ve found information on parent toddler groups and other children’s activities that I didn’t even know existed. And the best part is that you don’t have to go looking for it. Libraries, surgeries, nurseries… you name it and its there.
Namita of Tumble Tots in Staines and Ashford

I really want to say how fantastic advertising in The Family Grapevine has been with about 90% of all new enquiries coming from the publication, thanks to Debbie, who designed a fantastic advert and ensures that the publication is distributed in a wide area. As a mum to a toddler the information in the mag is fantastic and is the first place I look when I need a phone number, I am always recommending it to family and friends too!!
