Hello.

Now in its 22nd year, our popular and established initiatives magazine continues to offer impressive results for its advertisers. The magazine’s six pages of ads, competition and What’s On opportunities all sell out several months before publication, so to secure your spot in next year’s spring, summer or winter editions of initiatives magazine, simply fi ll in and return the attached booking form.

Uniquely, with the exception of two of our prime covers, all of our ads appear on right hand pages – making sure you grab readers’ attention as they make their way through the magazine.

Every home across the 303 square miles of the Chichester District receives this free magazine direct to their doorstep, delivered by Royal Mail. In total 64,000 copies are printed. Our research tells us that readers fi nd the magazine both informative and useful.

Initiatives is also available in our council offi ces, Novium Museum, Tourist Information Centre, at community focal points, and for several months on our website, helping you reach the district’s 113,800 residents, 5.7 million visitors and 51,000 workers.

Our advertisers report a strong response, with more people taking up their services, buying their products or attending their events. With a choice of sizes, positions and prices, advertising in initiatives offers advertising opportunities for all types of organisations.

For more information about our opportunities, including advertising in our car parks or on our recycling vehicles and website or sponsorship of our valued services, visit www.chichester.gov.uk/advertising.
