We count ourselves lucky to have a high quality 'local specific' publication that's never failed to be delivered & is so popular with local residents - they actually ask when the next issue is due! Always a 1st class service.

Hi Emma, just to say since we started in April we have had three enquiries and one of them I have converted to a paying job. However, there is many factors why we've only had a few enquiries mainly due to the weather. Basically because it's been cold and horrible nobody thinks about the garden and because it's been so dry with the maintenance people get on top of it themselves without employing gardeners. I would just like to add that your the only people that supply a professional magazine and hope that it continues. I will keep plugging away and hope the weather improves. Look forward to speaking soon. Best regards Michael Forest garden services 07767 666367 01702 298129

From the initial contact and meeting I really felt that I was listened to. I was given a great choice of designs that met my criteria for my business. My ideas were turned into reality and I am so pleased and proud of my two new websites and I am so grateful to everyone at Oracle who had input in the design and graphics and end result, especially Scott and Simon.They are very talented and great guys to work with. Every step was explained to me and I felt that I was a very valued client at all times. Thank you so much for your help expertise and professionalism.

Needless to say, we are using the oracle as our advertising tool going forward.

The only experience I have with the Oracle is as a reader of the Leigh publication so I would not be sure how to rate you as a company to do business with but I have rated you 8 based on my opinion of the Oracle. I look forward to reading the Oracle each month and like its varied contents. It is nice to get comments from local politicians and local businesses and the format - an A5 glossy mag - is ideal.

I quite enjoy reading it but there are so few articles between the heaps of advertising it feels more like one of those Argos booklets that come tucked inside the Sunday papers. That said I appreciate that production involves costs and without a cover charge that only leaves advertising as a revenue source. One thought, more articles by local people with an interesting tale to tell might enhance the quality and variety of the content offered? There are certainly a plethora of local 'characters'!

Gates Services - Chris G (20th February 2015)

I always find you to be polite and helpful Changing the advert even at the last minute is never too much trouble.My only slight negative is that as we do not have the magazine delivered in this area I never know where the advert is positioned in the mag. I would like to think the adverts are moved around and not tucked away towards the back all the time. Perhaps when invoicing you could include page and position in magazine. Keep up the good work Chris Gates

Worth Blinds - Martin T (19th February 2015)

Its a nicely presented magazine. I think it's important to keep a few general interest items in the magazine to give the reader a reason to have a flick through and read a few articles and hopefully see one of our adverts which may interest them. Without this they are just as likely to throw it straight in the bin.

Arthur Partington Chiropodist - Arthur P (19th February 2015)

Dear Emma, I have not deserted you but at the moment am partly retired so I do not need to advertise at the moment. The adverts I have had with you have always been very successful and no doubt when my present client list gets low I shall be back with you. Very best wishes Arthur.

I have been very happy with the advertising. Its a nice looking, good quality magazine that has many interesting local news stories. I have had several enquiries from the adverts, re-affirming that people do read it and keep it for reference.

Susan White Physiotherapy - Susan W (19th February 2015)

I advertise monthly in the Thorpe Bay Oracle and it has consistently produced a steady rate of reply. Easy to set up a standing order for the year and definitely cost effective.

Peter & Ray . (19th February 2015)

A very professional family run business, that has the heart of the community at the helm. Always willing to support local residents. Has arranged very informative "Question Time" gatherings with local Councillors & alike. Provides a "Yellow Pages" insight into local trades & services. A little book with big values and long may it last.

My experience was good but the advertising just didn't get me enough customers to cover the cost. Very surprised as good company , maybe I didn't have advert in long enough would maybe try again in the future.
