Information for Advertisers
This page describes the advertising policy for the Thurlestone Parish website and the prices for any business wishing to advertise with us. Please read it carefully as it will help avoid any misunderstandings as to why some advertisers are charged different rates to other advertisers.
Advertising Policy
This website has the express intention of providing an additional, rather than alternative, resource to the local community. Therefore, businesses which advertise in the Village Voice magazine are given preferential rates when advertising on the website as we wish to preserve the magazine’s advertising – and hence income – to ensure it remains viable and runs alongside the website.
The website welcomes advertisers who already advertise in Village Voice and new advertisers not in the magazine. Whilst the magazine has a limited number of advertising spaces (to preserve the balance between editorial and advertising content), the website has no such constraints.
The website will support the community by providing details of local, non-profit making clubs or groups free of charge.
Advert Types and Prices
The website offers 3 types of advert:-
In addition to the three Types listed above, we also offer the option of a Banner on the Home page which can be linked to a dedicated page on our website (Type C advert) or to the business's own website. With this type of advert, the Banner can be offered for either long or short term advertising. Prices for Banner adverts will depend on the type of link required and advert duration - contact us for more details.
Please note that the prices quoted above are in addition to any fees being paid to advertise in the Village Voice magazine itself.
