About Look Local

Our original Look Local is now in its 11th successful year and has now launched its 14th multiple regional publication proving that our concept works and is continuing to grow by servicing the needs of the local advertiser.

Typically our regional publication is around 32 pages which is full of local ads placed by local businesses, most of whom are repeat customers who continue to advertise with us for many years.

Today, through it's Franchise opportunities, Look Local produces local business directories across the UK offering a very targeted way of advertising our customers business to their specific community. Each book has a distribution to at least 4,000 homes and businesses every month and is an extremely cost effective way of advertising. Cost effective advertising usually means compromising on distribution but not with Look Local, no other business directory of its kind has such a large distribution in its area.

One of the secrets of our success is that we actually post our publications through people's letterboxes this ensures that the local communities are aware of local businesses such a plumbers, decorators, local shops etc. and consequently the publications are used as a local business directory.

Please see the business opportunity section for details of how you can become involved in this exciting and prosperous business
