MELANIE WRIGHT, CURTAINS BY MELANIE

“I write to say how pleased we are with the response to our advert in Chessington Chat. It is common to hear people say how advertising is a waste of time and money but it is only activity of some kind that leads on to sales. The criteria is simple, minimum price - maximum response. So I ask myself, how and why does Chessington Chat succeed? True it is well presented but above all it has a ‘local, neighbourly and friendly feel’ and that is what people like.”
EDWARD SHORTLAND, SHORTLAND SAWBRIDGE

“I found advertising in Chessington Chat has been a great way to promote my new small business. Starting out on my own has meant that it has been important that my clientele is local and consistent. This is exactly what Chessington Chat has provided. I have been amazed by the number of people who have read the magazine. Sally was very helpful with setting up the advert. Keep it up!”
KAY THOMPSON DRESS-MAKING SERVICE

“Thanks for sending me the April proof to check. It looks fine to me so you can use it in the next edition. Many thanks for all your hard work.”
