Advertise and promote your business in the Lake District

The best way to market a business in the Lake District is to combine a genuine local story with the channels Lake District people actually use: a feature in a local magazine, a social media campaign, local press and radio coverage, and a strong Google Business Profile. Our packages bundle these together, with your story written by a journalist and published online, shared across our social channels and, on Gold and Platinum, printed in the magazine.

You can advertise your business in the Lake District with La Vida Lakes through an online magazine feature (Silver, £300), an online and print feature (Gold, £500), or a full feature with professional photography and video (Platinum, £1,000). Print adverts start at £150 for a half A4 page and £250 for a full A4 page, including design.

Start with what makes your business different, whether that is your founder story, your products or your place in the community, and tell it where locals will see it. A journalist-written feature, shared on social media and backed by press and radio coverage, gives a small business credibility that a standard advert cannot. We can also create photography, social clips, promo videos, branding and websites.

Growing a business in the Lake District comes down to being visible and trusted locally. Regular, positive coverage builds awareness; professional content gives you material for your own website and social channels; and links from a respected local publication can support your search visibility.

Yes. The vast majority of features on our website are paid advertorials. We are honest and up front about that, and every story is written by a journalist to be worth reading.
