CORNWALL LIVING EDITORIAL BOOKINGS
How does a Cornwall Living editorial differ from advertorials or adverts
-
A Cornwall Living editorial is a lifestyle article written from the perspective of our in-house team of writers
-
The editorial will be presented in our house style, without company logos or explicit branding
-
Each editorial is a gentle, engaging way to deliver your message. It's a tried and tested format, which consistently delivers results
-
It’s not an advert, but it does promote your business very effectively, engaging readers and driving response.
What are the benefits of a Cornwall Living editorial
-
Confidence: We know our audience and they trust us as an authority on all things West Country
-
Communication: Your message is independently communicated in an informal, friendly but authoritative voice
-
Clarity: Our writers and designers use their experience to showcase your material in a way that our readers respond to
-
Engagement: Results show readers are more likely to engage with this conversational, ‘soft sell’ approach
-
Exposure: A great way to add extra weight and colour to a typical advertising campaign
What will we need from you to create your Cornwall Living editorial
The Message
Key information, which we will then edit or rewrite in our own house style. This can be complete text, simple bullet points or just a general steer – either way, it will be re-worked to fit our format and to be presented in our voice. However, a few quotes from you or testimonials can be a great way to communicate with the reader more directly.
The angle
Don’t bombard the reader with everything you do. Focus the piece around something specific and aspirational – perhaps a new launch, a seasonal trend, or a successful project. Our readers don’t want to feel sold to when they're reading editorials (that's why they look at adverts) – but they love to be informed about great products and services, show-stopping events, and fantastic locations to eat, drink and play.
Great images
First impressions count. The better images you provide, the better it will look, so try to avoid photos taken on a phone or small image sizes. We’re always happy to help and advise on what might work best (our designers have a fantastic eye for this). We like a good selection to work from, but please don’t send a link to 200 images – just a few that capture the essence of the article
