Let's talk
I have to say, I have been running my own Google Ads with varying degrees of success. However, since dealing with Iliffe Media and allowing them to run our Google campaigns we immediately saw a really good uplift in business. We are really happy with the results and I highly recommend any business reaching out to Iliffe Media to see how they can help.
We have never used Google Ads before and always relied on print advertising to reach our clients. Since meeting with Iliffe Media back in March 2023 we decided to trial Google Ads for 3 months. We were not disappointed, the results have been amazing and we have now been using Iliffe Media and Google Ads for almost a year now.
Thank you to the fab team at the Lincolnshire Free Press and Spalding Guardian. Following my advert two weeks ago, I’ve welcomed new members to my Wednesday night group... and I’m still getting phone calls! Thank you for supporting local businesses, helping us change lives, and helping our community to prioritise their health and wellbeing.
We have been running a digital campaign with you and we’re overjoyed with the response we had in such a short time. It just shows that the well thought out, targeted campaign you put together for us has given us a fantastic return on our investment. Many thanks for pointing us in the right direction.
We have been using The KM Group’s services since 2016.They have always provided our company with the highest level of service in a friendly and knowledgeable manner. Their positive and objective attitude to problem resolution is exactly what we require. We have no hesitation in recommending them.
Since advertising in the Kentish Express we have found that our customer numbers have really increased. We are having customers from right across the county and further many saying they have seen our advert in the paper. For us it shows that advertising does pay.
To attract new members and promote the benefits of getting outdoors and enjoying sport, we booked an advertorial in the Bury Free Press and Newmarket Journal and ran a social media campaign. We were overwhelmed with the response and have already welcomed over 40 new members.
We’ve had a great response to the advertising in both your paper and website. Here’s to many years of helping the community build!
I have really enjoyed working with the KM advertising team –they are local, knowledgeable and really try to get to know your business to support what you do. Their ‘Open for Business’ page was a great idea and really helped small businesses like mine to communicate to a wider audience at very reasonable prices. Thanks!
Dealing with team at the Spalding Guardian has been a real pleasure. They are always proactive for us and offer us great advice. We have been running online search advertising and have certainly seen the return, so much so, that we will be looking to upgrade our campaign.
I was initially unsure about advertising as every penny counts. However, in the following days and weeks we saw an increase in business and I’m confident that the ‘Open for Business’ link generated a good proportion of this, thanks to you and your team. I trust that other customers also benefited from your quickly uploaded online marketing opportunity. Although only a small fee, it’s nonetheless enhanced our business relationship and made me more open to new and innovative options you may offer in the future.
We know that advertising is important to our company but with the pressures of running our business we are too busy to have time to sit down and look at all the options in detail. Thankfully the team from the Spalding Guardian/Lincolnshire Free Press were available to help. They listened to what we wanted and came back with excellent guidance and advice. After our first advertorial, we have since been a regular advertisers in both the Spalding Guardian and the Lincolnshire Free Press. We can honestly say it was a painless and straight forward process and we are extremely grateful to the team for their assistance throughout.
Newspaper advertising has really helped us. We placed an advert with the KM hoping rather than expecting to drum up some new business, well the response was fantastic. A lot of people believe that newspaper ads are a thing of the past, after our experience we can guarantee that they are not. The staff at the KM are extremely helpful in guiding you through the whole process, we will definitely continue our advertising with them.
Castle Cars used KM Media group, both on radio and online to advertise. We believed that it was important to keep our company profile prominent locally and found that this form of advertising worked well. We will continue to use KM media in the future.
Our advert in the Kent Messenger really helped to put a face to my new legal practice. I'd highly recommend this affordable advertising.
In order to acquire new customers to our dealership, we have used digital banners and radio adverts to promote our brands and the current offers. The digital banners are trackable, for which we've been impressed by the number of clicks, as well as the number of people viewing seeing the adverts.
Our recruitment process has always involved IM Jobs as we receive outstanding customer service and extremely effective results. Advertising with Iliffe Media attracts an abundance of high calibre applicants and we have always found the perfect candidate for each of our vacancies. The mix of print and online advertising ensures we do not miss any exposure opportunity with potential job hunters. We highly recommend Iliffe Media and urge any meaningful business to engage with the recruitment team when in search of their next team member!

Our kmfm radio commercials have been a great way to get our company name out there and they have made a positive boost to our business. The process of getting a radio ad together was surprisingly easy and the media team at kmfm are all brilliant. The team who made it easy from start to finish.
We have found working with kmfm to launch our new website and kick start the season has worked extremely well for our business this year, combined with the sponsored lunchtime show and the competition all our lovely customers were hearing us all the time. We have booked next year in advance already!! We have recommended this station to a few other businesses.
The kmfm broadcasts have definitely increased footfall client volume and is seen as a vital part of our strategy going forward. We have used this service for some time and are truly impressed at the difference it has made. We are sure our brand is now recognised throughout Kent and has provided us with a platform to inform the public of the offers and products we provide. The advertising staff of kmfm have proved exceptionally pro-active and very knowledgeable and provide excellent advice when requested. They have furnished us with several advert products aimed directly at our target market and are focused on what is right for you. Nothing is too much trouble and we appreciate their kind input. Their professionalism in our view is unsurpassed and look forward to working with them in the future.
We've promoted the FG Barnes Group of car dealerships by sponsoring the Traffic & Travel for the past couple of years with great success. The snappy jingles are perfect for us to get our message across to the kmfm listeners, with many of our customers mentioning that they've heard our adverts on kmfm. The KM team are a dream to work with and we will continue to work with them for the foreseeable future.
We have been using kmfm since we started our business in 2016. We would not be where we are today without their help. The help and advice we get from all of kmfm staff is second to none, they always go the extra mile to help us. The feedback we get from our customers is always good. In fact we go as far to say our business is up 50% more thanks to kmfm So thank you to all of the staff at kmfm. We look forward to working with you for many years to come.
We've worked with kmfm for a few years to promote our Kent open air and drive in venues. Their team is always a delight to work with and they're able to work with a range of budgets and timelines. Recently we ran a win page package with them and the campaign had a strong entry rate and a good opt in rate, giving us fresh local data to support our latest seasons. We look forward to working with them again for many years to come.
The kmfm Street Team is a brilliant package, not only great value for money compared to other providers but a great service. They are very interactive with our customers and have benefitted the business greatly by gaining new contacts for our database. They helped with leaflet and merchandise distribution, as well as always looking professional which puts a great image out to our customers. Whatever the event has been, whatever the weather you have all been amazing and we will certainly be using you for future years to come.
We've run a few campaigns and competitions with kmfm. They have all been very successful and provided us with some great footage and photos of the delighted competition winners. The competition prizes are promoted by the presenters. The winner of the last ‘Win a Garden Makeover’ competition was so impressed with the prize of an EGo powerload strimmer that she purchased a hedge trimmer to go with it. We are currently planning campaigns for key events during the year with more prizes based on the season.
Right from our first Christmas Lights Switch On event. We decided to work with kmfm to support us with the staging and programme for the evening and were delighted that the event attracted 5,000 people into the town centre at the point of the switch on itself. It was also really gratifying to hear that other towns had made enquiries about some of the acts that were involved.
“Shed Load of Toys” was our Christmas toy collection campaign! Our showrooms at Skinners along with the KM team worked hard to hit a record high with many donations across the whole of Kent. Schools, local business and even children spent their pocket money and dropped off many wonderful presents for this amazing cause.
The shop was the busiest it's been in ages, very happy with competition entries, the street team were fantastic, engaged with every customer that walked through the doors that day. We were extremely pleased that we sold 17 NEFF appliances on the day which is a record amount for us, it resulted in the best sales weeks of the year!
The crowds came from all over Kent to our “Christmas Lights Switch-on” The kmfm team helped pull the event together and the presenters on stage did an amazing job of maintaining the energy and entertainment from start to end.
