Creative and premium impact opportunities
By embracing new print technologies Holyrood magazine can offer clients a range of additional enhancements which offer greater creativity for your advertising.
Consider the following premium impact products when you require maximum value from your communications budget. Creativity and inventiveness knows no bounds and with rapid advances in magazine flexibility anything is possible. Never say no!
Loose inserts
The greatest benefit of using free standing inserts is visibility. The physical impact can surpass the exposure of a printed advertisement if used correctly.
Many organisations spend is focused on producing expensive printed
documents and materials which are then mailed to politicians in the
hope of them being read. Our readership receive hundreds of electronic
and hard copies of policy documents and correspondence each week, too
much for office support staff to deal with, never mind be read by
intended recipient.
Research indicates that Holyrood magazine is read and digested by its
readership. The incremental cost of increasing your promotional
literature print run to include inclusion within Holyrood magazine will
add real value to your campaign. See rates
Gatefolds
Gatefolds influence by interpretation inviting readers to absorb your message.
Visually arresting, gatefolds are recommended for high profile
marketing and because of their physical nature demand much more reader
interaction. Naturally extending the copy area, with a wider
rectangular space and series of pages they are a particularly effective
way of delivering narrative and commanding undivided attention.
Readers relate gatefolds to premium products and services because of
the high profile and perceived premium pricing of cover
gatefolds. See rates
