A few words from our happy sponsors
Many of our sponsors have been advertising in Time & Leisure for years. Here's why:
"Since we launched our new 'Simply' meal offer campaign in the May edition we have seen nearly 2500 extra diners in our restaurant.
"When the magazine comes out each month, the phone rings with Time & Leisure readers looking to take advantage of the offer. The advert has a clear message promoting the Simply 2 for £29 meal offer, in fact the actual average spend has been nearly double the advertised meal offer price.
"The 'Simply' meal campaign which has proved to be a huge success for us and the offer has proved to be a great way to succeed during these difficult financial times."
Jeff Ward, General Manager
Cannizaro House
Wimbledon, London
"I have personally gone through all of the vouchers and can honestly say that 90% of them have been Time & Leisure readers. The offer changed in June and has continued to follow the same success with 90% of the vouchers being from Time & Leisure readers.
"Jeff and I have both worked well with Time & Leisure in the 3 years we have been at Cannizaro House and always found their team helpful, efficient and willing to offer that little extra help whether it be with editorial pieces, advice on a promotion that we have in mind or with copy.
"I have no hesitations in recommending them as a great, no actually, excellent source for advertising."
Isabel Hargreaves, Sales & Marketing Manager
Cannizaro House
Wimbledon, London
"Hi Mandy, Just wanted to write to you to say thank you for all your help in the advertisement of my Mobile Hairdressing Business.
"I am so glad I took your advice to repeat the advert for a few months as it really gained clients confidence seeing my advert more than once.
"All the clients I have taken on from this advert have commented on the fact that they like the magazine and always keep it through to the next issue being delivered. I am sure this has played a huge part in the large number of new clients I have gained during the months the advert was in the magazine."
"Thanks again for all your help and assistance."

"To everyone at Time & Leisure Magazine, I would just like to say how delighted I have been with the response to my advertisement in the May issue of Wimbledon Time and Leisure.
"This was my first advert with the magazine and after less than 2 weeks I have already had three appointments.
"I had an excellent Ad Workshop with Lucy, with lots of help and information. Meeting other advertisers in a similar position was a highlight and getting their feedback was invaluable. I would highly recommend that others attend this workshop.
"Thank you again for all your help and support."

"I would like to thank Kate and all the folks at Time & Leisure for all their help over the past 18 months. On starting our business we had no idea how to expand our client base. In order to do so we researched all the local mags for SW London.
"A few friends recommended Time & Leisure mag. We have had over the past 18 months a fantastic response to our monthly advert. I can only hope that all new and old businesses who are looking for a good advertising platform do what we did and advertise with Time & Leisure.
"You will not regret it."
