Testimonials
Caroline Carter Home Beauty

“Recently launching my new mobile beauty business in West Kirby was a very exciting time. As I don’t have a salon or ‘shop window’ to promote my business and services to passing clients, spreading the word of my new business is crucial. Emma Dewar interviewed me in a relaxed and friendly manner taking the time to listen to my previous experience in the beauty industry and reasons behind providing a luxury mobile beauty service on the Wirral.
“The coverage and exposure provided by West Kirby Today has been invaluable. I instantly saw an increase in Facebook followers and have had a number of inquiries and bookings since the article was published.
“If you are launching a new business or wish to promote a new service within an existing business, I would highly recommend working with West Kirby Today. Their local readership in growing rapidly and my business is already benefiting from being visible on their website and social media platforms. ”

At a competitive price, we have been able to test out online advertising and promote events such as our recent Open Morning within the local target areas of Caldy, Hoylake and West Kirby. West Kirby Today can also help with artwork for an advert making it easy and less time consuming to place an ad. We were impressed with the site’s mobile friendly capability so that people can see any Avalon marketing on the move and on a variety of tablets, phones and pcs!’
