From Advertisers and Readers

My name is Junior Walker and this is just a note of commendation to you as editor of the recent Black Heritage magazine, I picked one up in Brixton and it reconfirmed the old saying "you never too old to learn" as I found it very informative in events of our culture, my son just started college and I passed it on to him as a must read.

Well done!!! It’s fabulous and I'm very proud of you and what you're doing for the black ethnic minority.

Thanks for the magazines. It's an excellent product, I like it. A friend visited and immediately took one! I pray God continues to bless the works of your hands even as you look to Him to use you through this media to promote good things among our 'black race'. May God's rich blessings and abiding presence continue to be your experience in your daily walk with Him. I admire your zeal.

The cover is very attractive, the features are entertaining, informative and, in one case, harrowing – and the listings are very impressive indeed. Several people have expressed interest in where the magazine came from. The magazines are disappearing as fast as I put them out! People seem to gravitate to them – I’m holding some in reserve so I’ll have some for the events.

I have only browsed through and so far I'm really impressed there is a wealth of information and knowledge. This ia a magazine that I certainly won’t be throwing away.

Thank you for such a good advertising rates. We have had a lot of responses to the advrt and it felt good to be getting responses from so far afield. It shows the magazine has been getting around. We would like to reserve the same space for next year.

Once again I had a good response to my ad' in your Magazine, but most importantly it's been from right across the country and not just London. It really is good to see proof that someone's circulation actually matches what they said. and not just a case of take the money and be damned.

I have decided to do the ad. I shall get the picture/s that went into my local paper and some others for you to put on. I'll write as per your earlier instructions when we first spoke. Please let me know how soon you need the article. And if at all possible please could it go on the right of the page. I think I said it before, but one more time can’t hurt - I think the magazine is wonderful - and some of the features have inspired me. We all need that.

I have received so many responses to my adverts. International women's magazine is the first publications I have ever had the pleasure of reading every single word, it offers a vast and indepth wealth of positive and enlightening information from cover to cover. The articles are relevent to all readers, on many levels, the historical content of achievements' past, present and future are food for the brain and food for the soul. Both Black Heritage and IWM create a personal and pertinent communication to the reader through their wonderful array of articles and advertisements.

Great mag – Always get fantastic response

The response to the Advertorial has been so great. We have received calls from all over the U.K. To be honest it was a great success, I've made at least thrice the advert cost if not more.
We will definitely love to be part of it in the future. Cheers

Once again an excellent publication of professionally quality. Well done! I must say that for I did notice that a number of selected shops in Sheffield had copies of the magazine, which is an improvement on previous years. Kind regards

I love the layout and design. The advertisement looks nice, too. In fact, if you have a few extra copies of this issue, I would be happy to distribute them to our clients when they visit the showroom. Once again, thank you for your work. You have been excellent and truly have a willingness to get things done, and that has made all difference. Great mag. All the best,

I just want to extend my thanks and appreciation for the article and advertisent promoting Legends Of The Blues, our musical revue which took place recently. We had a significant rise in bookings as a result of this coverage. I am really impressed with the quality of the magazine and content and will definitely be booking advertising in the future. Thanks again!

Further to our conversation yesterday, regarding issues of interest to black and ethnic minorities living in London, May I just say, I took the magazine home last night and all of my family found something interesting to read in it. It had great educational content which was accessible to our varied ages and reading strengths. it is a shame that it isn't possible to go to print more regularly.

I am writing to congratulate you on Heritage magazine. It made me question. It informed me. But most importantly, 'it raised me up'.
Author Donna Daley Clarke (Lazy Eye).

The magazines are great. They go down a storm.
Nicola Francis. (HMP Wandsworth)

The magazine was well received and our colleagues have found the articles both interesting and informative. We handed them out during our International Day - and we ran out!!!!
I look forward to your International Women magazine next year and would be grateful if you could let me know when that will be available.

I thought I’d enter the competition on line and at the same time tell you how much I loved and appreciate your magazine. It is refreshing and innovative. I can’t believe you’ve been around FIVE years! You must be the best kept secret since I don‘t know what. I for one am glad the secrets out.
Gwendolene

I recently sent out details on a new report ‘Health, Wealth and Happiness’. The report, commissioned by MORE TH>N, Business dispels the picture painted by the UK government and a plethora of TV programmes that London’s small businesses owners are a nation of entrepreneurs. And firmly believed it until I saw your mag. You are a true entrepreneur. Well done for producing this wonderufl glossy, so informative magazine.
Nataliya Shpek

I just wanted you to know that I enjoy reading your magazine. I also think that you are a great writer and the magazines are very informative on a cultural side of things.
