Frequently Asked Questions
We produce destination visitor guides and area brochures, attraction maps and wayfinding publications, event programmes and festival guides, accommodation directories, promotional flyers and leaflets, advertising supplements and advertorial sections, and direct mail packs. We have produced print runs from 1,000 to 120,000 copies — including major county destination guides distributed nationally through tourist information centres, accommodation providers and visitor attractions.
We manage the complete end-to-end process: brief taking, copywriting, photography, design and artwork, print specification, supplier negotiation, quality control, press management and distribution. We can also run advertising sales for funded publications — generating revenue that offsets or eliminates the production cost. If you already have artwork ready, we can handle print buying only.
Yes. We have an experienced advertising sales team that sells advertising in destination visitor guides and area brochures. A well-managed advertising sales process can fund some or all of the production cost, making a high-quality guide achievable even with a limited marketing budget. We manage the whole process — from rate card to artwork to invoicing.
Distribution depends on the publication. Destination visitor guides are typically distributed through tourist information centres, accommodation providers, attractions, travel trade and direct mail to enquirers captured through media campaigns and digital channels. We plan the right distribution approach for each publication and manage the logistics — including brochure fulfilment for campaign responses.
For many tourism markets, yes. Research consistently shows that printed visitor guides and maps are valued by visitors — particularly older demographics and international visitors — and that print and digital work better together than either does alone. A printed guide with a QR code pointing to your booking page can be highly effective. The key is producing the right publication at the right volume for the right audience, rather than printing for the sake of it. We will give you an honest assessment of whether print makes sense for your specific situation.
