About The Golden Guide

Welcome to the Golden Guide’s website!

Hi, I’m Sophie Frank, editor of The Golden Guide, and you’ve come to exactly the right place if you want to advertise in either the Golden Triangle or Eaton areas of Norwich!  Here can find out a little bit about the magazine, and you can view the most recent magazine by clicking on the image on the right. Click on ‘coverage’ to see a map of where we go out to!

Here’s why you should advertise with us:-

Impressive distribution: The Guide is delivered free, bi-monthly, through letterboxes of 14,000 homes in NR2 and NR4. When we began, in January 2005, we delivered to just 1500 homes. We’re proud of our steady expansion into becoming a magazine with one of the largest distributions in Norwich. The bigger the distribution means the better your ad will work!

We work: many of our clients are so happy with the magazine’s effectiveness at raising their local profile, and finding them new business, that they’ve been with us since the start – that is for over six years!

We’re handy-sized (A5), designed to be kept rather than thrown away! Many residents keep hold of their magazines from one issue to the next. This boasts genuine longevity for advertisers…

We look good! We’re glossy, colourful and we’re handy-sized! We print full colour throughout, and use 115g renewably sourced paper. Attractive design is important to us. We might be a predominantly community magazine, but we can still look good!

We’re affordable: our rates are designed to appeal to both big and small.  For example, you can advertise for as little as £29.75 an issue. Just think about it… for this price your ad will be seen by 14,000 households.

Our distribution area boasts an above-average number of working professionals, enjoying an above average disposable income.  It includes some of the most desirable real estate in the city, from Newmarket Rd mansions to Victorian inner city terraces, to the idiosyncratic homes around the area of Dog Lane and behind Upper St Giles. We also cover new homes – such as properties like the recently built apartments at Chapelfield, and on the site of the Old Hospital. And then we go up into Eaton, the area around Waitrose and the Golf Club… A large part of why advertisers advertise with us is that we target the very areas that they are keen to do business in!

The most current The Golden Guide is available on line, free for all to see. Printing an on-line edition of the magazine helps increase the amount your ad is seen, making advertising with us all the more effective. The on-line edition of The Golden Guide is getting more and more hits per day…
