A unique concept for local news and advertising in North and East Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North East Somerset
A FREE weekly newspaper in a magazine format that focuses on genuinely local issues. For the last 3 years, The Week in has been the must read weekly in East Bristol and North East Somerset with 10,000 copies picked up and taken home. From May 2011, a similar quantity is distributed in an area north of Bristol which includes Patchway, Bradley Stoke, Stoke Gifford, Winterbourne, Chipping Sodbury and Yate.
Presentation is attractive and practical (24 or 32 pages A4 on bond paper) and the content ensures it is read from cover to cover.
The Week in is a free pick up publication. It is distributed through major supermarkets, newsagents, garage forecourts, shops, cafes, pubs, libraries, sports centres and even chip shops with a pick up rate of over 97%. Even locations where copies are still left at the end of the week, include pubs and surgery waiting rooms where The Week in is read and left for others.
With a total of 20,000 copies distributed each week, not only is the penetration significant within our distribution areas, the vast majority of collection points are consumer locations.
