Why Choose a Discover Magazine?
The success of our publications is a combination
of many factors. The handy A5 size, for example,
is more likely to be kept (and for longer) than an
A4 magazine or newspaper.
Also, our content is informative for locals, plus it’s
interesting and entertaining.
While we cover a large area, (98,000 letterboxes)
every magazine is local to our readers. And a
Discover Magazine is ultimately designed to
generate sales enquiries for our advertisers. By
using professional designers, high quality paper
and printing services adverts always look their
best.
Thank you for considering Discover Magazines
and we welcome the opportunity to help grow
your business.

Discover Chandlers Ford (formerly known as The Chandlers Ford Directory) was the first of our magazines to be published, having been delivered every month since 2004.
The area has excellent schools and because of this homes are relatively expensive. This, in turn, means it is an affluent area with a high level of spending.

Discover Hedge End has been published for three years but was part of The Southampton Directory and is now a publication dedicated solely to this busy community.
Discover Hedge End includes the residential area of Hedge End with its retail parks, the pretty village of Botley, Horton Heath and West End which borders
