Brian Kirker

22nd Old Boys Football Club

The 22nd Old Boys FC used the local shopper to promote a cross community football tournament centred around mental awareness. They were able to design a superb advert, both eye catching and with all relevant information at a reasonable price. It helped us achieve our targets for foot fall and we wouldn't hesitate to use this great service again.

Castlereagh Cleaning Company

I have used the local shopper from I first began my adventure as a self employed mobile cleaner. This has been very successful for me. with the help from the team there I was able to say where I needed work and they placed my advert accordingly. They also designed my add for me which I use to this very day. The quality of the local shopper is by far the best you can get, and the amount of customers that have found me via the local shopper is amazing. I will continue to work closely with the team here for a long time to come.

Jan Annesley

Kip McGrath Education Centres

LOCAL SHOPPER has proven to be one of my most effective forms of advertising and I always receive a response, when my advertisement is featured in one of the copies - it’s a great way of targeting different areas in the greater Belfast area. The staff at Local Shopper are also friendly, approachable and intuitive when it comes to anticipating and understanding my priorities when it comes to adapting my ads – the work on the ads is always excellent – no mistakes – which is important when you’re advertising tutoring in English! Local Shopper will remain one of my main forms of advertising!

Dawn Weir

NI Cancer Fund for Children

We had a fantastic response from the advert for both fundraising campaigns. The advert has helped us recruit 20 walkers for our Winter Woolie Walk event and 4 participants for our abseil. This advert has been particularly successful, even more so than our regional press releases. Once again, I would like to thank Local Shopper for all the support given.

Alison MacKenzie

NI Cancer Fund for Children

This is just a wee note to say thank-you for running the Sex and the City 2 notice in the most recent editions of Local Shopper. It just goes to show how popular Local Shopper is that we have sold out the screening TWICE over. Yes, we sold out the original 380 seater cinema, had to take out a second 150 seater screen to satisfy the demand and still we have over 170 on the reserve list. We get several calls and e-mails every day with people making enquiries after having read the Local Shopper advertisement. So with all the tickets sold, may I ask that you please withdraw the advertisement from all future editions?

Suzanne Thompson

RNID Belfast

Stephen Love

Willowfield Private Funeral Home

We have been advertising on the front page of the Local Shopper for the past three years now and we are extremely pleased with the amount of business the Local Shopper has generated for us. We have used various other local newspapers in the past but we were not completely satisfied that our company was receiving the exposure we had anticipated nor were we satisfied with the overall colour quality of our advertisements, unlike the superior quality of the Local Shopper. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the service we receive from the Local Shopper and we will continue to work with them now and in the future.
