Adding four pages to Life costs just £95 - and there's a couple of great reasons to do this... Property Promotion If you have an amazing property, adding four pages to your magazine can allow you to do a special property feature. You could do an interview with the vendor, add lots of professional photos and even a little area guide. It could help you to secure a listing and you could pass the costs on as part of a marketing strategy fee. Selling Advertising With an extra four pages, you could sell advertising space to local companies such as kitchen fitters or tradesmen. You can choose to do full page adverts, or offer them some advertorial space (an article written by the company including images, or case studies, for example). This can be a great revenue stream, help you to champion your local area and make your magazine more relevant to your community.

Life Magazine

Each extra copy of your Life magazine is just £1.40 per copy - so if you ordered 1,000 copies this would cost £1,400. Life magazine is one of our Members' hero products and there are so many things you can do with them that buying extra copies could be a good addition to your marketing strategy - here are a couple of ideas: Cover Competitions Lots of our Members do well with competitions to be be on the cover - you could run a colouring completion at the local school, or a pet portrait competition on Facebook and the winner gets prime position on your cover, for example. The greater the interaction prior to publication the more interest in your magazine - the perfect reason to print more copies! Supporting Local Events If your local village is hosting an event you could use some of your property pages to help them promote it, either on the cover or inside - people will then help you to distribute the magazine. Or, consider adding an agenda for a local fete or an event special offer inside your magazine - it's a great way to make your magazine relevant and extra copies will be a must!

Lead Responder Our automated lead responder service qualifies Portal leads and converts applicants into instructions.

Book a Valuation Tool Our online market appraisal booking tool is designed to help you gain leads across all of your digital platforms and helps you to convert them into appointments. This service was designed to be simple in order to maximise leads so, the tool simply asks for some personal/contact details, whether they want to sell or let, and whether they want a virtual or physical valuation. Once completed, both you and the vendor or landlord will receive an email notification, so that you can book an appointment in with them. Lead Management Dashboard Our dashboard connects all of our lead generation tools together, helping you to track leads efficiently. From the dashboard, you’ll be able to manage all your leads in one place, easily identify opportunities where applicants have indicated they also have a property to sell or require a mortgage and ultimately drive more revenue for your business!
