Send it to us at enquiries@upholsterers.co.uk either as text within the email or as an attached Word document. Please do not send it as a pdf as we have to format and edit during the transfer to the website. If you want a logo or images attached to the advert, then please send that as an attachment and not part of the word document. We may have to limit the number of images if space becomes an issue.

We will advise before publication if we believe the advert breaches age, race, or sex discrimination guidelines. We reserve the right, at all times, to reject an advert if we believe it falls outside of these guidelines or brings any part of our sector or membership into disrepute.

If a payment is due, then we will call to collect that by Credit or Debit Card before the advert can be placed.

Remember that the audience is primarily the trade itself and therefore any promotions aimed at the general public may not be relevant to this medium. We distribute the newsletter to around 900 people each month and the Market place section of the websites get around 2000 visitors a month.
