New look guide to Ribble Valley 2013 
The Council has changed the way it produces its popular
Visitor guide with a format which reflects the quality of tourism products,
containing a blend of features and cost effective advertising. Not only is the
new guide used to encourage people to discover the area, but it also serves as a
useful reference once people have arrived.
The 2013 Ribble Valley guide:
- looks like a magazine, so that it stands out against other more traditional brochures when racked
- has a quality feel, to make it an attractive read and souvenir worth keeping and passing on
- is produced by a company with an excellent track record and experience in producing quality guides and magazines
- includes a mixture of articles and features and information about things to do and places to go
- has a targeted and comprehensive national distribution.
To get your free copy of the 2013 guide complete the on line form at www.visitribblevalley.co.uk
There are no increases in the rates for advertising in the 2013 Guide; most rates are frozen at the 2012 level. Where this may vary, such as full or double page spreads, the rates are significantly cheaper than 2012.
