The Magazines
The Didcot Directory and The RG8 Directory are two A5 community magazines with monthly alternating distribution serving the areas around the RG8 and 0X11 postcodes in West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire. Distribution comprises an area with over 24,000 homes and businesses in 25+ towns and villages including Pangbourne, Purley-on-Thames, Upper & Lower Basildon, Woodcote, Goring & Streatley and surrounding villages for The RG8 Directory and the town of Didcot and surrounding villages for The Didcot Directory. The mags bring local news, events and services directly into the homes of local residents and businesses. Since the launch of The RG8 Directory (then The Purley & Pangbourne Directory) in 2008, both magazines continue to grow and have now become a household name in the area.
Distribution is to over 25 towns and villages over a two month period. The majority of these are hand delivered, with distribution GPS tracked, directly through letterboxes providing residents with a handy directory of local trades and services. The magazines also offer an interesting read with local articles, regular features, charity news, event listings, puzzles, competitions and much more.

The Didcot Directory
When The Didcot Directory was first launched, each issue was distributed to approx. 3,000 homes. We steadily grew distribution month by month and today we deliver to an area of 14,000 homes and businesses (for rates that are actually lower per 1,000 homes than when we started!) over a two month period covering much of the town of Didcot and surrounding areas, including Great Western Park, Milton Park, Milton Gate, East Hagbourne and more.
As new homes are being built, distribution will continue to grow steadily.
Advertising rates start from only £16 per calendar month for a Box Advertising display with a 12month booking.
Latest: We now deliver to over a thousand homes more than we did this time last year!

The RG8 Directory
After a trial run in Pangbourne of 1,000 magazines, we first launched the the Purley & Pangbourne Directory in January 2008. Each issue was at the time distributed to approx. 3,000 homes and businesses. Circulation quickly grew to 4,500 and then, when the mag became The RG8 Directory to 6,000.

Distribution
Distribution of each issue for both magazines is split into two with Area 1 of the region of both magazines receiving its copy in month 1 and Area 2 receiving it in month 2. The magazines are generally delivered during the second week of month 1 and between the last week of month 1 and the first week of month 2.
In addition to the door to door distribution, we also hand deliver copies to selected pick up points in the areas, such as dentists, doctors surgeries, libraries and other outlets such as MOT while-u-wait waiting rooms, shops, hairdressers, travel agents and more. If you would like to stock copies of either magazine for your customers to peruse or pick up, do give us a call in the office.
