About Us

Roundabout Monkseaton is a community magazine and business directory for residents in the Monkseaton area, and offers a large range of benefits to readers and advertisers.  It has been a successful vehicle for advertisers since its inception in 2005 when it was published as 'The Monkseaton Village Monthly' and delivered to 2,000 homes in the village. Because of the favourable reaction from residents and advertisers alike,  the distribution has been increased to 5,400 from November 2006 (see Distribution below). That's 5,400 copies every month!

Price and Value: The magazine represents incredible value for advertising your service or product if your target market includes residents in the Monkseaton area.  Please see the Prices page for further details.

Truly Local: All advertisers operate in or close to the area. There is strong evidence that local services are preferred by the majority of the UK population. In addition, the magazine is produced for local people by local people.

Longevity: Roundabout Monkseaton has 'longevity' and because of its size, content and look and feel it will be kept by the majority of households until the next issue arrives, thereby giving advertisers 'immediacy of access' when their services are required.

Editorial Opportunities: Advertisers have the opportunity to be featured in their own editorial spread, giving them a depth of coverage that is normally only available at huge expense in other publications.

Distribution: The magazine is published and distributed monthly, and is delivered to 5,400 homes and businesses in and around Monkseaton - guaranteed. The distribution area includes Monkseaton Village, Valley Gardens, West Monkseaton, Red House Farm and Beaumont Park.

Format: Roundabout Monseaton is a high quality A5 size booklet using full colour print on white gloss paper.

Loose Inserts: These can be delivered with the magazine to maximise the impact of advertising, and at very reasonable rates.

Community Pages: Local charities and non-profit making organisations can advertise at no charge.
