Temporary suspension of Your Local Lincs magazine due to COVID-19
WE ARE NOW CLOSED
It is with an extremely heavy heart that the decision was taken last night to temporarily close Your Local Lincs Media Limited due to COVID-19.
The April edition of the magazine was due back from the printers on March 24th, this has had to be cancelled due to the current situation and Government instructions. We have however made the April edition available online. Please be aware that due to the ever- changing situation of Covid-19, all the "What’s On" events have been cancelled.
We are proud to have served and supported the local community over the last 15 years and we will be back again once normality returns. The health and safety of our distribution team and the local community is paramount.
Obviously, it’s a very worrying time for everyone including all the businesses that currently advertise with us; and Your Local Lincs is no exception. Please see the link below from the government on help for small businesses; we are aware that more information will follow in the coming days and weeks.

As I sign off, I hope you keep healthy and safe, and that life does not become too restricting for us all. Thank you to all frontline and supporting staff who are doing their best to help get us through this unprecedented situation.
Best wishes

The community magazine for Sleaford and surrounding villages
We can at last, say the long awaited spring has sprung!... Phew! Enjoy the fresh outdoors and get time out in your garden, if you are able.
We are in unprecedented times and it’s difficult to say, before we go to print, which events in our issue this month will be cancelled. Please phone event organisers before attending anything.
Easter is upon us, with the children off school. There are Easter activities on pages 52 and 53, sadly all subject to change. This is preceded by the children’s guide which is useful for planning child care with a list of providers. This is issued 4 times a year, the next one is July.
Lots of great businesses are thriving in Sleaford thanks to you using local trades. We are pleased to say many of them advertise on these pages; allowing you to find a local service you need with ease.
Our intention is to continue serving the local community with our magazine as we follow government guidance concerning COVID-19. Please keep an eye on our website for updates.
Best wishes

What Our Customer's Say
Advertising
“Due to the advertising in YOUR LOCAL LINCS my business has expanded and has worked for me in my business. I would recommend this to other companies out there!”
‘Your Local Lincs’ have provided an excellent service for the advertising of room hire in Sleaford Town Hall, which has resulted in an even greater take up of interest and potential bookings. We received outstanding communication from start to finish and will certainly be advertising through the publication in the future.
“I decided to advertise my new business venture with Your Local Lincs, after only a few months, I am in a position where I am looking to expand the business in order to fulfill all the business that I am receiving.”
“It’s the best place to advertise – I think it’s brilliant! I don’t advertise anywhere else!”
“Our Marketing systems show that advertising with Your Local Lincs magazine contributes to our successful marketing and ongoing sales.”
“Local people want local businesses – it works!!”
“As our main show room is not on the high street this publication acts as our shop window to the public.”
“We’ve advertised with Your Local Lincs since it first started and we have continued to find this the most successful form of advertising.”
“Advertising with Your Local Lincs pays for itself. People like to use a local tradesman and this is the best place to advertise in our area.”
“It’s been really advantageous for us to have our advert in Your Local Lincs Magazine”
Leaflets
“It’s cost effective and so easy to have leaflets or business cards distributed with Your Local Lincs.”
“The leaflets really lifted up the profile of the tennis club to let people know we are here. Next time we’ll put a special offer on or ask people to bring in leaflet so we can gauge the response.”
“I’ve had a good response from the leaflet delivery service with people ringing me and I’ve managed to increase my customer base.”
“This form of advertising has worked really well for us in the past so we will definitely continue with it. It also produces a large positive response.”
“Leaflet drop was a cost effective way of promoting our business. Being able to select our own distribution areas allowed us to target a specific audience.”
“Our recent leafletting campaign with Your Local Lincs has been a great success, with many new PC Support customers and several businesses wanting new web sites. I will definitely be using Your Local Lincs to distrubute my leaflets next time”
