Listing and Advert Information
Listings
Listings which are made up of four lines of information are a great way to promote your business or service. They are clear, concise and informative and at £17 per issue, they are a very affordable way to advertise.
Colour Adverts
Our adverts come in four sizes: eighth, quarter, half and full page:
Width x Height
1/8 Page 63mm x 44mm
1/4 Page 127mm x 44mm (landscape) OR 63mm x 88mm (portrait)
1/2 Page 127mm x 89mm (landscape) OR 63mm x 180mm (portrait)
Full Page 127mm x 180mm
Remember with colour adverts less is MORE! Please avoid cramming too much information in, instead keep it brief, use your unique selling point and entice our readers to check out your website or give you a call – remember to include your contact details. Make your advert seasonal or offer a small discount, this is a great way to monitor how successful your advert is. More importantly remember to ask your customers where they heard about you.

Reasons to Advertise with The Little Pages
Demand
The Little Pages has proved to be very popular. Within the first two years our print run has more than doubled.
Quantity
The demand for copies is overwhelming, our ever increasing print run is up to 20,000 copies per issue in the North East.
Success
Advertising with us works because the people who pick us up are your target market – the parents and carers of young children. They are looking for information, support, great places to go and wonderful things to do with their children. The majority of our advertisers return to advertise issue after issue.
Quality
Our high quality 32 page, A5, full colour magazine is printed on 130 gram paper. We are not a throwaway publication. The information it contains is useful, clear and easy to read, concise and up-to–date.
Value for Money
We only print 3 issues a year, Spring (March-June), Summer (July-October) and Winter (November-February) so your advert is current for four months of the year. To advertise with a full colour eighth of a page advert for one year (or three issues) it will cost you under £12 a month!
