As we can demonstrate, our business model has been carefully designed and implemented by professionals with good track records and relevant experience. Our USP is in providing routes into each advertiser's specialist market that are new, warm and direct. We complement the Internet search engine and newspaper options in the advertisers' tool kit, whilst being independent of both.
Because detailed information about the viewers/readers of the ads is collected before the ads are run, we can focus part of the spending of both national and local retailers more effectively. We can help advertisers cut part of their spend and still get a better response. For example nationwide outdoor clothing retailers can advertise UK-wide direct to walkers, while the local pub or shopkeeper can simultaneously promote themselves to customers nearby.
The key is revenue sharing, based on the free use of our newsletter creation engine that contains a strong range of professional templates for the preparation and publication of newsletters to a professional standard - online and/or in print. (Including affiliate deals with High Street printers). Our templates are free, and importantly they are genuinely easy for novices to use and customise, and for a fee users can add news feeds, crosswords, cartoons etc. This level of professionalism is what newsletter readers increasingly expect (not the product that is visibly made at home using publishing tools for amateurs).
Crucially, we share some of the advertising revenue from our regional/national advertisers with the publishers of relevant newsletters, who are also encouraged to sell local ads. They get income as well as a free, professional publication. Across the UK there are thousands of such newsletters, each giving a direct route into a highly focused audience, e.g. rugby, football and tennis clubs, local/village associations, parent/teacher associations, social clubs, hobby and special interest groups etc. Capital is sought to fund our growth.
