A Few Words From Our Advertisers

"Jackie is a lovely, warm, caring and energy giving person and I feel that this shines through in the Focus Magazines.
Not only is Jackie always supportive of the local community, she is such an inspirational person, and I am proud to say has become a great friend.
Thank you for all that you do!"

Jemma – The Naughty Corner, Ringwood

"I rang Jackie for advice when I was starting my business and was overwhelmed by her genuine interest and helpfulness! We have come a long way since then, and I’m proud to say she’s a good friend.
I like advertising in the Focus; it’s practical, informative and gives me the feeling of professionalism I want to be associated with.
Well done Jackie, and it’s ALL local!"

Nickie - ‘Nickie Westlake Photography’, Alderholt

"It is always a pleasure to deal with Jackie with her professional and friendly way. On top of that the advertising we have placed in the Focus Magazines has won us substantial business with contracts valued as high as £25,000 being directly attributable to our ads...
Thanks Jackie."

Mark Jones - Aqua Leisure (swimming pools and spas) Ltd, Southampton

Nick - Dupli-k8, Ringwood

"Love the magazines, they are fresh, bright and colourful. The recipes are great, and it’s lovely to read about your travels and adventures.

Tansy’s Continental Cafe, Ringwood

"In my opinion Jackie is one of the most talented and creative people I have dealt with during my career in Marketing, Advertising and Copy Writing. Her ‘people’ skills are second to none and her ability to make the advert come alive is rare indeed in unsolicited marketing. Good copywriting is like ‘angel dust’ - you don’t see it - you feel it! The ‘Focus’ is simply the perfect vehicle for advertising."

Tony Clarke - The Fig Tree, Fordingbridge

"We are very proud to be the printers of the Fordingbridge Focus and the Ringwood Focus. It’s a real pleasure to work with Jackie, who obviously works hard to produce a professional and successful product."

"Focus Magazines have been a great support to us throughout the last two years, and this would not have been possible without Jackie’s expertise, teamed together with her friendly and professional approach to our advertising needs."

Kevin & Debbie, The Fireplace Room, Ringwood

"Your magazines portray a refreshingly different outlook on local life, yet help to develop the community spirit that we all need. We wish you well."

Bob Pugh, Ecoflow PLC, Ringwood

"I believe that advertising in a local publication is the best vehicle to promote local business.
When I first contacted Jackie I had no idea what to expect but found her warm, friendly and approachable. Jackie knows how crucial it is to get it right, and is 100% focused on that!"

Connie Froud - Positive Outcome, Ringwood
