Cheshire Buzz is a weekly newsletter delivering local events, hidden gems, and Cheshire life to over 16,000 subscribers, with a 50% open rate (double the industry average!).
Our readers aren’t scrolling past. They’re actively looking for things to do, places to eat, and local businesses to support and they open this email because they trust what’s in it.
Why Cheshire Buzz beats the usual options
A village magazine reaches one village, once a month, on paper most people glance at once and put in the recycling. No link, no click, no way to know if it actually worked.
A post on your own Facebook or Instagram typically reaches a small fraction of your followers, and it’s gone from anyone’s feed within hours.
A Cheshire Buzz placement reaches the whole county, sits in an inbox with a 50%+ open rate for a full week, and comes with a trackable link so you can see exactly how many people clicked. It’s written by someone 16,000 Cheshire locals already trust to recommend good things, not by a business talking about itself.
You’re not paying for ad space. You’re paying for a recommendation from a newsletter people actually open.

A short write-up (2-3 sentences) plus one image, in a standalone spot within the newsletter. More room to make your case than a Quick Mention, without the full feature treatment.
