If you are planning an event/festival this autumn/winter and are looking for a way for the programming to reach residents across Stockport/ South Manchester/Trafford/Cheshire East/North Manchester in print, we can help! Likewise, if you are starting to put plans in place for a festival next summer and are looking at how you can market your event and maybe even produce a printed programme, we can help! Furthermore, if your organisation is considering producing some form of newsletter about your work/services/events that needs to reach residents in print and reach a wider section of the community, we can help! Over the past couple of years, we have worked with a number of event organisers and local organisations to get newsletters and event programmes into print (and online), and distributed widely as a supplement inside Post community newspapers. This has often been at a lower cost and a greater distribution than those organisations producing a stand alone newsletter/programme, with greater engagement as the supplements are absorbed alongside all the positive local news published in The Post!
