Your advert goes through the door by hand in an A5 magazine that people keep around the house. That means you are still being seen weeks after delivery, from a single booking.
You choose only the areas you want. If one local area covers where you work, that is all you pay for. Add more areas as you grow and your rate per area comes down.
- Five advert sizes, from an eighth page to a double page spread
- Prime positions including front cover, back cover and centre pages
- Bigger discounts the more areas you book
- Artwork handled for you if you do not have any
Your leaflets, delivered with the magazine
Already got leaflets printed? We will get them into homes across the same 57 local areas, carried by the same delivery team that brings out our magazines.
Your leaflet travels inside the magazine, so it arrives as part of something people already look forward to rather than loose paper on the mat.
- Delivered by hand across your chosen areas
- Every round is GPS tracked, so you know the job went out
- Choose one area or as many as you need
- Goes out on the same four weekly cycle as the magazines

“Hi Carole, I have been a recipient of the Red Rose Directory for a number of years and commend you on an excellent and worthwhile publication.
I have been able to source a range of specialist support and advice.”
“I use the directories a lot. I always read through them. I do enjoy looking through the directories, and I have used quite a lot of your advertisers from them! I look forward to receiving my next copy!”
“Thanks for the work over the years – Red Rose are great value for money and years on I am still getting a great return on investment! I don’t advertise anywhere else – Red Rose is the only form of advertising I do now and I get more than enough work from the magazines to keep me busy!”
“Red Rose are professional in every way. I was nervous about advertising at first, but after using them I now feel I have found a great company! Big mention to Jenny and Ross – Thank You!”
“I’ve used Red Rose for advertising for many years, and I’m very pleased with the service they offer. All the team there are always extremely helpful and deal with all my queries professionally.

Always happy with the Adverts designed by Blake, very easy to deal with.Posted on Google tom dysonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a customer on and off for roughly 5 years and here are my findings. Honest company with good underlying values and they have extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff. Rates are fair for what you get and they can accommodate to most budgets. ROI can vary but that’s the nature of print media. Great advertising medium run in conjunction with others.
