  • All advertisers with SwadStyle receive a FREE online Directory listing.

Our Advertising Offer

Print advertising works best when seen consistently over time. This means that any advertiser should consider their advertising to be a long term investment. As a guide, advertisements need to appear consistently for 3-4 months before an advertiser can expect to see results. One-off advertisements usually work best for announcements, one-off events or special offers.


  • This is one of the reasons why we offer 3, 6 and 12 month campaigns on all advertisements. The longer the campaign, the more economical your advert will be.


  • We also offer FREE advert design on eighth page and quarter page advertisements. A small fee may apply for half page and full page advertisements.


  • You can change your advert at any time, although we do suggest that you keep consistent branding and design elements so that your advert is instantly recognisable, even if the message may be a little different each time.

Do's & Don't of Advertising


  • DO find the benefit - people don’t just buy products and services, they buy the benefits derived from them


  • DO consider your call to action: How do you want your customers to react?


  • DO be consistent with your branding.... look, feel, colours & voice


  • DO avoid the use of your business name in the headline, it's more about your client and invoking a response from them


  • DO make your advert standout with clever use of colour


  • DO make sure you own the images you wish to use or have permission to use them


  • DON'T overcrowd your advert with too much text, sometimes less is more!



  • DON'T forget the critical elements i.e. website, phone number, email and/or social channels - you don't need them all, just the ones most relevant to your business
