WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY... Over the years of being in business we have always advertised in Trend Magazine. The team are very professional and helpful and I have always been satisfied with the quality of our adverts in both magazines. Our business has benefited greatly from advertising in Trend it has help us expand and be recognised, achieving our award status two years running as hugely impacted our client retention and awareness of our success for our clients old and new. JAN LEIPER, INNOCENT AESTHETICS LTD. We have been pleased to be associated with ‘TREND’ magazine since its inception seven years ago. It arrived in Aberdeen like a breath of fresh air and we still appreciate its handy size, vibrance and topical style it brings with every publication. The ‘Life With Style Awards’ dinner is always enjoyed by ourselves and guests and an event firmly rooted in our annual events calendar. We don’t know where the last seven years have gone, but we look forward to the next seven, with ‘TREND’. MATTHEW FINNIE, FINNIES THE JEWELLER Trend has helped us build awareness of our jewellery and the Lava Jewellery design brand and to showcase our work to a wider audience. This gives independent retailers like us access to potential new customers and introduces our work to larger audiences. JACQUI GRANT, LAVA JEWELLERY DESIGN Being featured in Trend came as a surprise. A pleasant one I must add and many artists and designers really appreciate the support the magazine offers us. Trend is a high-class lifestyle magazine, just the type I wish my artwork to be associated with. It’s readership opened up new markets for my work and helped raise my profile around the Aberdeen area. STEPHANIE VANDEM,PORTRAIT ARTIST Trend Magazine is a continual part of my marketing plan as my business grows in Aberdeen and beyond. This publication keeps my clients up to date with bi-monthly interests in my business inclusive of like-minded people with a focus on quality and the finer things in life. Trend is also a good benchmark for keeping standards high at every level from customer service, product innovation and relevant features at any level of business. My business will continue to be part of the Trend lifestyle now and in years to come. ANDREW GORDON, ANDREW GORDON BUTCHERY AND FINE FOODS
