About Us - Introduction to The Stonehenge Trader


We are a local trade magazine aimed at advertising local businesses and services throughout the local area. We aim to help you promote your business to local customers' right on your doorstep, making carrying out your business more convenient for both you and your customers.

Our current distribution is 10,000 copies each month. The Stonehenge Trader is distributed FREE directly to homes & businesses throughout the local 01980 area. In addition to our distribution team, we also have magazine dispensers situated in various, widely used, local businesses such as pubs & clubs, hotels & restaurants, doctors' waiting rooms and various local shops. Also we are distributing within the army camps.

In addition to advertising, The Stonehenge Trader also includes information of interest to our readers about their local community. Including; monthly 'What's On / What to do' columns (promoting local events, clubs, charity organisations, etc), a 'Classifieds' section and a list of 'Useful Telephone Numbers'. We also help to advertise events being held for local charities, such as "The Rotary Club's, Tree of Light in Amesbury" and "The Last Night at The Proms", held for charity at Amesbury Abbey.

Each issue has a special 'Monthly Feature', dedicated to a particular type of business or service. The aim of these features is to catch the readers' eye and draw their attention to local businesses which can provide these particular services for them. The Centre Features are timed to coincide with relevant calendar dates when you may particularly wish to promote your business, such as Valentines Day, Summer Eating Out, Christmas. There should be a feature to match your business advertising needs.

We can offer a range of advertising options for your business. Starting from standard black & white adverts in 8 different sizes on a 1 month or 6 months rate, to front & back cover adverts in 2 colours (certain sizes only). (Space is limited on the cover, especially the front, so you may wish to reserve your space in advance. We also try to vary the front cover adverts to keep the magazine looking fresh each month, so we only offer 1 month rates on this space, although we will try to accommodate your advert every few months if you are keen to advertise on the front cover regularly.) The rate for Monthly Feature adverts is the same as the standard adverts rates, and our regular advertisers who are on a six month contract will have their advert automatically moved to the Monthly Feature on relevant months.

We also periodically run special features on individual businesses; this allows you to tell our readers more about your business and the services you can offer. Best of all, it won't cost your business a penny to be featured as a 'Business of the Month'. All you need to do is arrange some support adverts from other businesses you deal with to advertise along side your feature, showing their support and best wishes to your business. Half a page of support adverts entitles your business to the same about of FREE advertising space to promote your business with advertising and editorial, or a whole page of support adverts entitles you to a whole page FREE of charge.

So, why not try advertising with The Stonehenge Trader today and see how much local business could be generated for you. We distribute just where you need to promote your business ~ locally!
