Retford Life has the largest distribution and readership of any newspaper or magazine covering Retford: four times the coverage of the average weekly sales of the local newspaper!

Part of the Retford community

Our magazine features Retford news, local events, and community stories that residents genuinely value. When your advert appears alongside community-focused local content, your business benefits from that connection and credibility.

Kept and read all month

Retford Life is used as a directory throughout the month, meaning that your advert gets seen time and time again when customers are looking for local services.

James Wright Builders

I would recommend Life Publications 100%, I advertise in four of their magazines and get very good feedback.

Houseproud

We’ve advertised with Life Publications for many years and have always been impressed with the results. Their team understands our business and knows how to help us reach the right audience. We’ve seen real benefits from our partnership and appreciate their consistent professionalism and support. We’re happy to continue working with them and highly recommend their services.

Ollie

The Country Victualler

As a family run business with close ties to our local community we wanted to advertise with a like minded publication that promotes small businesses like ourselves. Life Publications was the perfect choice. Not only have we seen a higher footfall to our Tuxford Pod but they are a highly professional, knowledgeable and helpful team to work with.

We have been working with Life Publications since we started our business and we could not have grown without them. If you are looking to advertise locally, we highly recommend working with these guys.

Cath Ray Gallery & Studios

You have worked your magic, yet again! We might feature on page 98, but I’ve just had my first enquiry about what is on at the gallery – ‘Retford Life’ is great!

Thank you for your support & best wishes,

The Wednesday (Memory) Group

You’re one of our major supports and I’ve been surprised how many people have said to me that they’ve read my bits in Retford Life. It certainly brings in members and that’s very much appreciated.

Jan

Bassetlaw Railway Society

I’m glad we have a publication such as Retford Life that gives positive feedback to community organisations… keep up the good work.

Bob

Retford U3A

We had a committee meeting last night and the Membership Secretary told me we are still getting half a dozen or so new members each month through your magazine, so these little pieces really do work.

Roy

Harworth Christie Organ Enthusiasts

Once again people are approaching me at our concerts, saying they had attended as a result of seeing the advert in your magazine. Once again, thank you very much indeed.

Dave

Physio Pilates Retford

I have advertised my Physio and Pilates practice in Retford Life each month for over 10 years. Their team have been amazing at helping to design the adverts to grab the reader’s attention; and if the adverts weren’t successful, I wouldn’t have continued to invest my marketing budget with them! I have only very recently discontinued all adverts (everywhere) as our Physiotherapy diaries are currently full with waiting lists, and as we have only a few Pilates class spaces remaining! I wouldn’t hesitate to advertise with you again in the future
