Business Accelerator is a targeted local promotional and advertising package that combines newspaper and digital advertising with our market leading local newspaper and website portfolio.

Lianne Carr, Sales Director for Devon News Media newspapers and websites commented: “We’ve been absolutely delighted with the response to our Business Accelerator programme here in Devon. We have seen a really positive uptake from businesses who were part of our programme last year and we have seen a substantial number of new businesses joining our programme for the first time this year.

“Customers have been attracted by excellent value multimedia advertising packages which are offering a saving of up to 80 per cent off our standard rates. The Business Accelerator programme is designed completely with local businesses in mind and offers consistent high-profile advertising generating substantial local reach. We’re really pleased with the response so far.

Expanding into new regional publications (digital & print) last year has helped us generate enquiries from different areas and increase brand awareness.
