The advert has been doing fantastically well and actually I have filled a lot of the lesson slots so if I can cancel for now. I’ll look to put another one in later in the year if we have any more spaces come available so I’ll be in touch. 

Thanks so much - it’s been great!

Thanks for the wonderful little publication - as an OAP in his 90's it is good to see so many interesting facts and photos which otherwise I couldn't visit as I am now virtually housebound - keep up the good work - best wishes to your team.

We have been delighted with the response to the article alongside our advert - I feel famous as people walk in saying ‘oh, hello Sue’!

Thank you so much for offering us that opportunity.

I have just moved to Upton-upon-Severn, and how wonderful it was to receive “All About Malvern” through the letterbox.

A really useful publication for all that live in the area, especially newcomers like me! 

Good job guys!

When the Repair Cafe opened like many new volunteer-led enterprises, initially we relied totally on free publicity to advertise our presence in the town, recruit volunteers and attract customers.  The editor Sascha McDonald supported us from our first event on 01 December 2012 by always including a reminder about our sessions on the Noticeboard page. Only a few months after we opened, in May 2013, Sascha interviewed us and printed a whole page article which helped to spread the repair culture even wider.  We especially appreciated that she would gently remind us if we had forgotten to tell her the dates of the next two sessions and she was always willing to revise the wording of the advertisement as our needs changed. The customer service has always been excellent, courteous and very supportive.

When Sascha, the editor, first set up the 'All About Malvern' magazine she developed a 'Community Noticeboard' page, and from the very early days of the magazine she invited me to send an item, promoting a new volunteering opportunity, free of charge. Over the years I think I have had an appeal included in every edition of the magazine, enabling me to promote new volunteering roles on behalf of small local groups to help them to find new volunteers. We are all very grateful. Only recently Malvern Special Families recruited two new Trustees directly as a result of readers seeing and responding to my appeal.

On behalf of all these groups, I would like to thank Sascha for her generosity and continued support for community groups over the years, and wish her continued success with the magazines in the years to come.

I have found All About Malvern an excellent platform to spread the word about Malvern Priory Lunch Box, the Priory Friends' Heritage and Faith Lectures and this year's Malvern Mystery Play - events which I have helped to organise in Malvern Priory. Sascha the editor and her husband James have been very helpful and friendly. It's a great little magazine full of interesting facts, services and events going on locally. May it flourish and go from strength to strength.

Thank you,

Hi All About

As I’m approaching retirement age I am intending to slow down a bit. Well, I intended this last year, but as my advert in your magazine brought in more work, it doesn’t seem to have happened :)...

I think I must now stop advertising otherwise I will be tempted to take up any offers that come along. So, unfortunately, I will have to say goodbye for now, but I thank you for helping me to promote my business to the local community. 

It has been very productive and profitable for me and I would gladly recommend your magazine to anyone who might be interested in the future. 

So thank you Sascha, Julie, and everyone.

Take care and keep up your good work.

Thank you for the booking renewal reminder. I am pleased to report that I have had such a good response to the advert, that I am now swamped with design work! I would prefer not to advertise for the next couple of months, but please keep in touch. Many thanks!

It is the best thing I ever did, advertising in your magazine!

I'm a bit snowed under with new clients thanks to the advert in the magazine : )  
It was absolutely worth doing.

All good with the advert.  We have had 10 direct enquiries already and confirmed one deal so far, and it's still being distributed!

I have been advertising with All About since they started, and have nothing but praise for Sascha and her team. They are consistently helpful and professional, and assist with any changes required very efficiently.

I wish them every success for the coming 10 years and beyond.

We have been delighted with the All About West of the Hills magazine and with the personal service Sascha has given us over the years.

The All About brand has gone from strength to strength and we regularly receive good quality leads as a result of our advertising. Sascha and the team are always on hand to help with any design or changes and pride themselves on giving the best of service to their clients, as we do to ours, and we wish them many more years of success!

Many years ago I was on site and was approached by two very nice young
ladies trying to sell me advertising space in a new local magazine. I was
struggling to give them the short thrift I would normally give cold
callers and was duly cornered in a pincer movement and signed up to
advertising space there and then.

Some years on and still advertising (it is the only advertising I do) it has been a great success.

The Malvern Kitchen Studio Ltd. was established in 2012 and as part of our initial promotion, we were keen to reach our target audience at the most reasonable price! As soon as we began to discuss a package with Sascha, we knew we were an ideal match. We have continued to promote our business in All About and online, which consistently brings new business through our studio doors, however it is more than just an advertising portal. Sascha links us as a business community, supporting each other in these competitive times. We leave current and older copies in the studio, for customers to browse through. The newsletter keeps us informed of local events, new businesses and established ones, but not only this, the informative editorials provide insightful comment on subjects, we may have previously known little about.

There is no comparison to All About and I know we would be lost without it!

Keep up this fabulous community asset.

We have supported each other from the beginning and the amount of business advertising in All About has generated for me over the years has been astronomical. I would never not advertise in the magazine. It raises my profile, its professional style and attitude fit my business values, it works hand in hand.

Thank you very much Team All About, it has been brilliant to be part of your journey.

Can honestly say we hit it off with Sascha from the word go. Our businesses have continued to grow together and David and I look forward to our annual get-together with Sascha when we compare notes and chew the cud!  Her reliability and business-like approach have been appreciated, not forgetting the very necessary sense of humour.

All About Magazines have been invaluable to our small business. The coverage for Shaun’s Tyres Ltd has given us the scope to reach more people and enhance our customer base.

The service we receive from all the team at All About has been second to none and we have loved working with them and their professionalism is great.

Your magazine has been a huge boon and probably the main reason my classes have always been successful and well attended. I shall certainly recommend my successor(s) use your excellent service.

As a new business start-up, we were very grateful to Sascha and All About Magazines for finding an advertising package to suit our budget. The phone is always busy after the magazines hit the doormats and we really appreciate the business All About Magazines generate.

I’d like to take a break from the advertising for a bit - for the simple reason that I’m overwhelmed with work now!!! It’s been very good and will continue again if possible in a few months when I’ve cleared the current backlog - advertising works!

Peter Nash

Huge congratulations to you for your dedication and hard work in developing and building such a popular and successful magazine.  All about Malvern magazine has certainly been invaluable in the marketing of our business over the past 10 years and we look forward to growing from strength to strength with you over the next 10 years!  

With all good wishes and our thanks.

We have been advertising in the All About Magazines regularly for several years now – it’s so easy to work with Sascha to update our advert for each edition. Customers always mention they have seen our advert so we know it works for us. 

The varying editorial and highlights each month in the magazine make it interesting to read and ensures local customers pick it up to read about local events and happenings.

GOOD LUCK for the future and at least another 10 years of All About Magazines promoting all things local to our area.

It’s been a pleasure to share my recipes with your readers over the years. I love it when I am ‘out and about’ myself and meet people at festivals and demos who enjoy making the recipes at home.

It’s also been great to meet local people who have discovered me through the magazine and have booked onto one of the cookery courses here at Our Lizzy.

Thank you for your support in helping me to spread the word about my courses.

I wanted to thank you both personally so very much for all the amazing support and friendship you have extended to me and the business over the last 6+ years. I have so greatly appreciated your approach to working alongside and in tandem with small businesses like mine - no pressure, no obligation, yet always reinforcing at great length any custom that I may have brought your way. You have understood my business needs and trends. And of course you and your staff are all so personable, friendly and approachable, just like us! Our sort of people. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I knew when I saw the magazine back in 2009 it was a platform I wanted my business associated with, and I haven't been disappointed. Sascha and her team have been fantastic to work with, they helped promote our business to the unsuspecting public in 2010 and we haven't missed a month since.

It has been a privilege and an honour to be part of such a fantastic product, thank you Sascha for your vision and delivery.

Congratulations to All About on their anniversary and in particular to Sascha whose passion, energy and enthusiasm has been reflected in the growth of the local business community. All About has given Blue Ginger Gallery a local platform and direct communication with our local customers. We’ve been really taken care of too - with a gentle nudge when deadlines are just too close for comfort and imaginative advert design which sensitively reflects the business.

Thank you!

We have worked with Sascha and the team at All About for many years, they are so helpful and easy to work with. The All About magazines are a great way for us to communicate with the local community.

All About has been brilliant for promoting my business.  To be honest, mainly due to its good reputation.  I would highly recommend the book to anyone as it has generated a lot of work for me with customers then recommending my services to others.

Thanks to Sascha and the team at All About Magazines for your help and support in helping to promote my local business.

I had met Sascha McDonald, the Editor of the All About Magazines, at various business networking events and so when the Worcester magazine was launched I decided to do a trial run of advertising to see if it worked for me. I always knew when the magazine had been distributed as the phone would ring immediately with enquiries about booking appointments. I decided to continue with the advertising and I can honestly say it has played a huge part in expanding my client base. I would certainly recommend it to other local businesses in the area.
