Discontinued Colours

As a small family business that supply discontinued bathroomware, we thought we would try a small advert via WebWindows in the Sunday Times magazine. The response was phenomenal with over 100 enquiries received by email and telephone in the first few days, and we will definitely be using WebWindows again. Our only concern is whether we can cope with the additional business that any future advertisements will generate!

Catches & Latches

Catches and Latches advertised in the Sunday Telegraph and Sunday Times and are very pleased with the response generated by both publications. Sales and web hits have increased considerably during the weeks across which we placed the ads, and we hope to be using Web Windows for our next marketing campaign.

Interknickers

We have found advertising in The Mail on Sunday You magazine to be our preferred publication. We have repeatedly run our advert on this page and are in the opinion that keeping a regular appearance has helped build brand awareness and ultimately more business. We have had scores of people telling us that they noticed our adverts on the page and plenty of feedback about how eye catching it looks. We will definitely be keeping a recurring presence on this page.

Kingfisher Music

Kingfisher Music has advertised with Web Windows on several occasions and has found the Sunday Times Web Directory to be a great way to attract interest from further a field, not just the local area. On each ad we have noticed an increase in sales, and we will continue to promote our website through this successful medium. We were provided with an eye-catching piece of artwork that really does justice to our business and gave us the best chance for a good response.

QVS Direct

QVS Direct has been regularly advertising with Web Windows for several months now, a great way of generating a tangible response. We have advertised across all publications, with the Sunday Times and Sunday Telegraph being our particular favourites. These ads are a great way to affordably attract scores of new people to our site by making sure our brand name is being promoted to the millions of Sunday readers.

Shape 8

Shape8.Com tried a test panel in the Web Directory in the Sunday Times and were delighted with the 1000’s of extra visitors this generated for our web site. The art department did an excellent job putting together our art work after we gave them some suggestions and we look forward to using Web Windows again in the future when other special occasions arise.

Lloyd Loom Online

Lloydloomonline decided to try a series of single Web Windows panels in the Sunday Times Magazine. The response has been fantastic with lots of enquires and following sales. We are now considering upgrading to double panel sizes to maximise our exposure and build on the success of our ad campaign using Web Windows.

Pet Department

Pet Department decided to try an advert in the Sunday Times after having had success with our ad in Observer Magazine. The response gained from our advertisement in the Sunday Times Web Directory was immediate and so pleasing that we have just booked a longer series. I was also extremely pleased with the very professional help with the layout of the advert and the copy produced was superb. We look forward to working with Web Windows in the future.

Decant-Air UK

Initially, we ran a series of three consecutive single panel advertisements in the Sunday Times Magazine. We were very pleased with the increase in business and traffic to our site that we decided to make a real showpiece of our next advertisement in the lead up to Christmas.
Our latest advertisement is four times the standard panel size. It looks fantastic, really stands out well and dominates the page.
We have been impressed by the speed, efficiency and professionalism of Web Windows and look forward to continuing our relationship with them in the future.

Shop Safe

We began advertising with Web Windows at the end of last year, running a campaign of six adverts in The Observer Magazine. Since then we have advertised in all their publications, one of our favourites being The Sunday Times magazine. We have been pleased with the results generated from the adverts placed and as a result have continued to advertise on their web directory pages on an ongoing basis every couple of weeks.

The Tandem Experience Ltd

Tandeming chose to run a single insertion in the Sunday Times as a trail run to see what kind of interest would be generated. Whilst we were aware that a series is generally the best way to build a really good response, budget restrictions dictated! We were extremely impressed with the 80% rise in traffic to our site, which could only have been attributed to this advert. Not only did traffic rise on the Sunday when the ad was actually published but continued through the week too. We will certainly be using Web Windows again in future as we are confident that when needing to highlight specific offers, or generate interest at quite times of the year, that it really does pay.

Living Beer.com

Living Beer has an established and successful relationship with Web Windows forged through over a year's worth of advertising. We use Web Windows as part of an established advertising schedule for 2 reasons, one is to gain exposure at times of year when our product is especially relevant and second Web Windows allows smaller companies to enjoy advertising in mass media which would be prohibitively expensive to do alone. We know that raising awareness at these times of year really bolsters our profile as well as sales; for example we appeared last Christmas and in the run up to Fathers Day, with fantastic success. Living Beer has also taken the opportunity to use Web Windows as a reliable pick me up at slower times of the year and will remain firm clients for the coming years.

Ticket Tree

We decided to trial an insertion in The Independent on Sunday after forming an understanding of the readership and concluding that they fitted our target customer. From the first day which our advert appeared we had instant feedback, approximately 30% of our response came through on the Sunday which the advert appeared. We know in theory that the magazine is kept into the week but were skeptical as to whether or not people would still see the advert. We were impressed when custom kept coming right through until the following Thursday. Overall we were really pleased with a one day advert, which bought in 5 days of trading, and was at an excellent price when we booked it! We are now keeping Web Windows at close quarters to ensure that we can rebook when we feel it appropriate throughout the rest of the year.

Trick Turn Ltd

We decided to go ahead and book a series of three ads in The Telegraph after a deal was offered that we thought too good to refuse. We had an excellent looking ad, which appeared on a great looking page, where there were only 14 other ads. The format looked good and the response that came through as a result was brilliant. Spritz.co.uk is quite a niche business; selling fancy dress costumes and equipment over the internet; finding a good platform is difficult, we're glad we've found it with Web Windows. We are now looking into booking again later in the year when we feel that Web Windows will spur people on to our site.

The Original Hot Tub Company

Over the course of the last 6 months The Original Hot Tub Company has been running a prolonged campaign of adverts with Web Windows. We are pleased to report that we have appeared in all 4 of their publications The Sunday Telegraph, The Sunday Times, The Observer and The Independent each one bringing through response. We feel that the best return came from The Sunday Times and are now happy to appear regularly, confident that the excellent returns justify the cost. We feel that our success is also reflective of the brilliant art work which we have been running; a double sized horizontal panel, which we believe dominates that page and really catches the readers eye. www.theoriginalhottubcompany.com will most certainly stay in The Sunday Times whenever the opportunity arises and we are happy to put our name to a testimonial citing our great response.

Brompton Home Health Ltd

We wanted to test the response that could be gained by advertising to 2.9 million affluent readers on a three weekly trial. Home Heart were very impressed by the fantastic artwork produced for them by the in-house art department.
The series of advertisements generated increased traffic to their website which brought along an increase in sales of Home Defibrillators . The overall high response to the advertisements has meant continued and successful advertising for Home Heart on a frequent basis.
"The increased number of hits and traffic to our website together with the overall response rate from customers has made us want to continue advertising with Web Windows and build on an already successful relationship."

RSVP Introductions

RSVP has always been a fan of press advertising, maximising our local presence throughout our core area of the country. We were looking at ways of expanding the business when we were approached by Web Windows, who created a marketing strategy, including multiple insertions in The Sunday Times Magazine and The Sunday Telegraph Magazine. We were offered a brilliant deal and were impressed with the excellent response which started to come back as soon as the adverts were published. Enquiries came from all over the country and we are now looking to expand our service, to gain further access to this broader market which Web Windows has opened up for us. This is most definitely a successful and lucrative way of appearing before millions of people which RSVP will be continuing.

Patrick McDonald

Diana Porter Jewellery

We ran a trial insertion in The Observer Magazine which we rapidly followed up with a second when we saw the response that started to come through straight away. We are really impressed with this flexible way of advertising and like the fact that Web Windows can be booked around current advertising and bring in immediate custom. The mix of advertisers on the page with us meant that we weren't fighting over prospective customers with any direct competitors and we hope to keep this a guarded secret to stop them from catching on! We are planning our next steps with Web Windows, happy in the knowledge that we can predict what will come from it.

Instant Holidays

www.ski-ski-ski.co.uk ran Web Window ads in The Sunday Telegraph and The Observer and enjoyed extremely buoyant sales. This method of promoting our web site was extremely cost effective, allowing us to reach large numbers of affluent consumers who may not use search engines. We received interest from parties who had learnt of our services from our site, therefore minimising the number of fruitless enquiries. Web Windows has a successful formula that we shall use in future to promote our other sites.

Colin Maddocks

MBT Customs

We decided to test out Web Windows as an advertising medium to gain publicity for our website and ultimately to generate more sales. Following the exposure of our advert to 1.7 million readers in The Sunday Telegraph Magazine we were delighted by the response that it produced.
During the week the advert appeared the results were superb. Apart from the increased number of hits made to the website sales generated were much appreciated. The amount sold far outweighed the cost of the advertising.
So pleased with the response, we're now looking to advertise with web Windows on a more permanent basis."

Astral Aspects

"I'm delighted with the service from Web Windows. The design team have perfectly captured the essence of my on-line shop in the ad they produced, while the sales team always keep in touch with last minute special offers. What's more, I see a measurable increase in sales whenever my Web Windows feature appears."

Alison Meek

Bean Machine

As a first foray with Web Windows we took our time in considering which publication was right for us. We chose to run an initial campaign in The Independent on Sunday Review in order to target a manageable number of wealthy internet users. For what we felt was a relatively prominent ad we were impressed that costs were kept to a minimum. Throughout the period which our ad appeared in the national press, interest in the site was maximised and hits were increased. We are more than happy with the increased sales and definitely plan to appear again in Web Windows proven publications.

Software Galaxy

Web Windows approached us with a low cost offer to appear in 3 prestigious publications, spread over a period of time. This meant that our budgets were not overstretched and we could put together a lengthy campaign to reach 6.3 million readers. This was the first time Software Galaxy had appeared in such mass circulating media and we were impressed with the results. Cost will prohibit us from being a full time advertiser but we will ensure that when we can, we will embellish our marketing campaign with some much welcomed exposure from Web Windows.

Dave Regan

Ambush Paintball

Ambush Paintball tried Web Windows as an experiment to see if there really would be any response from advertising in the national press. We were impressed with the art work which was speedily put together for us by the Art Team at Web Windows. When the advert was published in The Independent on Sunday we noted an increase to hits on our site which we believe has contributed to raised awareness. We intend to stay in touch with Web Windows with a view to further advertising when the time is right

Data Browse

We were searching for a way to improve traffic to the site when we were approached by Web Windows. We considered their offer of reaching a cumulative figure of 3.3 million people over 6 weeks. We were impressed by the results and found traffic to the site was buoyant throughout the period. As a search facility, traffic through the website is vital to us and we are pleased to report that Web Windows helped sustain this. We will be interested to receive more information from Web Windows with a view to booking further series in future.

PCUpgrade.co.uk has ran a very successful AD camping using webwindows and have increased sales both online and through our mail order service. We are very happy with the service and hope to continue our strong relationship.

IT Nerd

This was my first national advertising campaign and I chose Web Windows as they offered a new, fresh medium to reach a national audience without the over inflated prices. Since the first ad appeared in July 2004, I have seen a growing interest in the itnerd.com web site and will defiantly consider Web Windows again when planning my next national campaign.

Telephones Online

I am happy to place on record that the response to our Web Windows advertising led to increased enquiries, which converted into a substantial number of sales for Telephones Online. An email from Web Windows had been forwarded to us by a fellow website owner. After various discussions we chose Radio Times as being best for our market as far as reader profile and coverage was concerned. The overall success of our campaign has led to an ongoing relationship with Web Windows that will certainly result in further appearances in their publications.

Holdsworth Chocolates

Holdsworth Chocolates ran a series of ads in Web Windows for The Independent on Sunday and received an excellent response resulting in a substantial amount of orders and online enquiries. This form of advertising has allowed us to reach an audience, which may not have considered using a search engine to find us. We appreciated Web Windows honest and professional service and we look forward to a continued warm relationship.

Versalift

Web Windows was instrumental to us in being exposed to potential new customers. Through marketing ourselves through Web Windows we have been able to attract genuine new clients that we would not have been able to reach through more traditional online activity.

The Digital Camera Company

We have now run a series of adverts on two separate occasions and have found a very noticeable increase in online sales during and after each campaign. Coupled with this there was also an increase in our average basket value so there is no doubt that we will be using this format to reach a large, well targeted audience in the future.

Passion8

We have had a continued advertising relationship with Web Windows for over a year, advertising mostly in the Observer and the Independent with our website Passion8.com. Throughout this time we have advertised frequently and have enjoyed a great response the advertisements have generated for us. On a cost ratio we could not advertise in these publications for the same cost as Web Windows and a relatively small ad would simply be lost in a section, whereas in the Web Windows section it has a higher profile and targets online users directly. We have had a lot of advertising experience in a variety of publications and I am happy to say that Web Windows has been one of the top performers. We have found Web Windows service to be professional and the advertising they provide to be very beneficial in boosting our exposure, increasing our traffic and improving on-line sales. We shall certainly be doing more business in the future.

Pountney Clinic

We have been advertising with Web Windows since August 2001. We started with an initial test series in The Sunday Telegraph and found the response very good. Since then we have added The Independent on Sunday, The Observer and Hello! Magazine. Such has been the response we are now committed to Web Windows for future campaigns.

Lens-Net

After an initial series test run, we found a noticeable increase of hits to our site which lead directly to online purchases. Web Windows has now become an important part of our marketing activity as its various pages in magazines are an ideal way of reaching large numbers of people who regularly purchase from the Internet. Lens-net has now booked a long-term series with Web Windows.

Anita Jones

Union Jack Supplies.co.uk

Union Jack Supplies.co.uk ran a tactical Web Windows campaign across Radio Times and The Observer. Our objective was quite simple; to shift as much product online at a strategically important merchandising period for us. Web Windows gave us carefully reasoned media advice and through their design team some very strong creative for use in our advertisement. The campaign was a great success and gave a positive return on investment. There is no doubt we will be using Web Windows again in the future.

Internet Cameras Direct

We tested The Sunday Telegraph Magazine's Web Windows in September and found the traffic to Internet Cameras Direct increased by 25%. Furthermore, unlike other magazines where we have advertised, the increased traffic was sustained for quite some time afterwards. We are now regularly using their excellent pages.

Nice Surprises

The advice Web Windows gave concerning how to market our website in magazines was invaluable. Nice Surprises tested initially with a three-series in just one Sunday supplement to gauge the response. We found that with each insertion the amount of orders generated increased each time. For our second phase we are now introducing another magazine, knowing that the Web Windows concept has had a marked effect on sales. We are looking forward to a continued relationship with Web Windows.

The Cartridge Shop

Following each of our advertisements we have received a surge of hits on our website cartridgeshop.co.uk, together with a large number of extra calls to our free phone number. There is no doubt we shall continue to use Web Windows as a key part of our marketing strategy.

Italian Wines Direct

Web Windows has enabled us to reach further clients at an affordable price. In considering advertising nationally I looked at a range of different media options, finally I decided that Web Windows was correct for my budget and would target the correct market.
The service that I have received has been both efficient and courteous, we have substantially increased our registered members and more than covered the cost of the initial advertising.
I am now looking at increasing our advertising and will of course be using the services of Web Windows.

Francesco C. W. Lattanzio

ShoeNet

This was the first time we chose to advertise our website offline and the efficiency with which the artwork was created was very impressive. During the time that our ad series appeared, this was the only advertising ShoeNet ran. We can therefore attribute the doubling of hits on our website to our activity with Web Windows in The Mail on Sunday's Night & Day. We look forward to advertising in their publications in the future.

Berridge Mail

Web Windows made a simple process of booking a campaign into the national press. Berridge Mail appeared in The Mail, Telegraph, Observer and Independent. As a company we are very meticulous in monitoring all aspects of traffic to our site. We found that on two weekends alone, hits to our Berridge Mail website shot up massively, increasing by two-fold."

Grandad-shirts

"We made enquiries about advertising in Web Windows having seen their pages appearing in a number of Sunday supplements. After careful consideration, we felt that The Observer served our market best and ran a series of three ads promoting Grandad-shirts.com. We have enjoyed a very good response from our advertising and with every order taken we have asked how people have come across our site. With most orders over the last few weeks, the replied has generally been as a result of seeing our Web Windows ad. The artwork and overall service Web Windows has provided us with has been nothing but professional and are happy to recommend their services to other specialist websites. We look forward to doing business with them again."

Welsh Gold PLC

Web Windows has provided Welsh Gold PLC with an excellent opportunity to promote our pure Welsh gold jewellery in mass circulating media. We chose to use a double-sized advert and found response was very positive throughout the time that our advert appeared in the national press. Web Windows will certainly be an option that Welshgoldplc.co.uk will be looking to use again.

Advantage Travel Centres

We have been advertising with Web Windows since July 2001 and would like to place on record how pleased we have been with the increased response to our website, achieving a massive 300% increase in hits to our site in August that year. Web Windows is also proving to be a very cost effective medium for raising our brand awareness with the consumer, and in driving enquiries through to our agents in the high street. It remains our main advertising medium and I look forward to any future developments and a long-lasting relationship.

Nylon Dreams

Nylon Dreams.co.uk were emailed by Web Windows with idea of running a colour ad in the Sunday supplements. As we do not have limitless budgets we considered very carefully the magazines in their portfolio and decided to test market in The Observer. To date we have been more than happy with the response we have enjoyed. Hit rates increased quite considerably but more importantly, we shifted a decent amount of stock. We are now planning our next tranche of advertising and Web Windows will be featuring again.

Steve Lapworth

Unicycle UK

The inclusion of Web Windows has proven a useful enhancement to our promotional activities. This has been our first foray into mass circulating weekly publications and we found the professionalism and expertise that Web Windows has provided to be first rate. We operate in a specialist and competitive market and this form of advertising has enabled us to reach large numbers of home internet shoppers. We closely monitor the effectiveness of all our advertising in terms of hit rate and products sold and we look forward to dealing with Web Windows again in the future.

Mr PC Clean

Mrpcclean.co.uk has quite a unique product in that we produce excellent cleaning products for PC screens, plasma screens, TV's etc. Although of universal appeal we found it quite a challenge to find the right place to market it successfully. By advertising in Radio Times Mrpcclean.co.uk found a lucrative market that already had a proven interest in our product their use of a television! Web Windows produced an attractive ad that provided us with increased hits to the web site, but more importantly sold the stock!
