Marketplace in the Magazine

Post by Ian Grace »

After completing M 149 last week, I was surprised to notice that some of the adverts in Marketplace date back to 2007! This seems a waste of four pages in every magazine - 10% of the content. And since the Newsletter goes out every month, offering a much faster advertising turnaround time, and in any case, all adverts are posted immediately they are received on the website, this seems a waste of print space which could be put to better use. The only downside would be that those not on the Internet would not see the adverts.

I plan to remove all adverts over 12 months old (except for cars for sale which often take more than a year to sell) unless I hear from the advertisers that they still have spares for sale or wanted. I'll do this on the website, and I'll only print fresh adverts, received during the last month, in the Newsletter.

If anyone has adverts older than 12 months that are still valid, please let me know, and i will 'zero' the clock on them.

I'll include this new policy in the May Newsletter before removing any adverts.
