The Launch
The Pioneer was launched in Aldridge in September 2007, due to huge demand from businesses in the area for an Aldridge edition following its success in Walsall.

It is a monthly magazine, delivered to 8,000 homes/businesses over a 2 month period, which supports local businesses, traders, clubs and events by advertising their services to specifically targeted areas.

Local Features
Many of the columns and articles are written by people from this area which ensures that the content is topical, lively and relevant. On top of this the magazine boasts Community Pages which provide free publicity to help local clubs and events.

We include features on many topics that are relevant to residents of the area, such as leisure, gardening, children, food, drink, health and beauty. In this way the magazine is intended to be a source of entertainment and interest as well as a point of reference for local services.

Limited Competition
The key thing about the Pioneer is that it is focused on the local community. In the interests of both businesses and neighbourhood residents, we limit the number of direct competitors who advertise with us. This means that as well as supporting our local trade, we can guarantee members of the community personal service from people we know and trust. Businesses who advertise with us will always find themselves dealing with the same two people, and in getting to know who advertises with us, we can make sure the services we promote are genuine.

Compared to the cost of advertising through other media, The Pioneer’s prices are competitive which allows businesses in the area to make themselves known to the people who need them most: you.

Appealing Magazine
The magazine arrived in Aldridge only two months ago, and already we are hearing from local businesses that their trade has rocketed since its introduction. We are able to make residents aware of the multitude of services that are available only minutes from their homes, which demonstrates the appeal of the magazine to both businesses and households.

With advertising available from as little as £25 plus VAT, The Pioneer is the best place to offer the area your services, and also the number one point of reference for Aldridge residents.
