"Just an email to say how well our full page advert went with you at the beginning of April, we were still receiving calls from the ad 2 weeks later so we are really pleased with the result that [the advert] had.
I have just checked our statistics and we received 1344 calls in the end which is double the amount we had from the same advertisement last year!

Matthews Holidays
"Thank you so much for all you did with regards to the ad on Sunday, it was very much appreciated by all here.
Taking a look at our week on week figures for website hits, this Sunday was over 20% up on the previous Sunday. We can only assume this was due to the advertisement placed in The Mail on Sunday, and of course we are delighted with these results. Having relevant editorial to place our ad alongside is invaluable to us and with these latest results, we'll certainly be looking to advertise again when the opportunity arises."

The service we received from Fiona Harden was truly magnificent. She was always professional, extremely helpful, very charming and I just wish she worked for us

"NO.1 Gas Services always get a good response from our adverts in the Daily Mail and we feel that your circulation and readership is much higher than other weekend newspapers.
As most customers tend to keep both your home improvements and your business section newspapers sometimes we have had calls even 5 weeks after an advert has been placed in the Daily Mail.
We find that the positive response is because your newspaper appeals to all ages from business persons, to families, to the elderly and to young working professionals."

Virtuoso Adertising
"Our client shoe-shop.com had historically been a consistent spender with Mail newspapers. Christopher Wallace suggested organising a meeting between us the agency, the client and representatives for the Mail. This proactive approach helped us have a highly productive meeting that resulted in the client agreeing to re-test the Daily Mail through a series of full colour page adverts (we had been using fractional classified adverts). The Response Team refreshed the creative execution and we also used a tactical placed 5x2 advert (signpost) in display or relevant pages such as health on a Tuesday to direct potential customers to our classified advertisement. The result; shoe-shop responses have risen dramatically. The client is impressed with the collaborative effort made between us the agency and Mail newspapers and I am confident that we will continue our advertising schedule into the autumn season, something that looked unlikely only a few weeks ago. A triumph for everyone involved. Well done Chris!"
- Ben Harvey - Virtuoso Adertising
El Al Superstar
"I would just like to say how pleased we are with the recent advertising campaign for El Al's Superstar Holidays.
Although we went for small space ads, the client is delighted with the number of calls they have received. Unfortunately, they were too busy answering the 'phone to keep count of the actual numbers but I can say that the response has been much higher than they anticipated.
For my part, I am delighted with the way you handled the bookings and our frequent changes of copy.
Many thanks for all your help and I very much hope that we will run this campaign again."
- Peter Russell, Client Services Director at Acumen - El Al Superstar

""Customers I've dealt with from the DM and MoS are usually a bit older and are not so keen on the internet or email. They tend to like brochures etc by post. The upside of this is that they do look at print advertising which means our ad print spend on the DM and MoS always produces a good return.""
- James Greenfield, Managing Director - Japan Journeys

I will certainly use the Daily Mail’s classifieds to advertise again."
- Sue Harding - Private Advertiser

TUI UK
"Due to the continued growth and competition of the Cruise market Lateral Advertising and TUI UK took the brave decision to move their main bulk of Cruise advertising away from the traditional upmarket media in April 2010 and run with press titles including The Mail On Sunday. From the end of April 2010 to April 2011 we have seen a 10% year on year growth in call volumes, 9% year on year growth in conversion rates and a good surge of Internet driven enquiries.
Plans for 2012 now include again The Mail On Sunday. Coupled with the professionalism of the Associated Newspapers sales team and their page planners department – I have no hesitation in wholly endorsing the TMOS brand."

- Scott Anderson, General Manager - The Luxury Cruise Company

We placed just a small ad for a holiday complex and just as the salesman told us, we had a large response with many enquiries turning into firm bookings. We have found that the advert has reached the people that the internet does not reach. For us, this has been invaluable as it’s a perfect demographic for the customers we wish to attract. The salesman was very helpful with plenty of experienced advice."

Very pleased and will be looking to book in again first weekend in January”"

Wine & Spirit Education Trust
"The uplift in website traffic numbers we witnessed for the urls displayed in the copy was more than strong enough to justify the spend on the advert. This activity was wholly justified when we started to add the telephone contacts made.
Being a not-for-profit charity with limited budgets I have to ensure that every penny is spent wisely, the relative success of this activity certainly made my life easier on that level. What really made my life easier however was the superb level of service provided by the Mail's classified team - Patsy Ramsey, to be 100% precise."

"The Daily Mail/ Mail on Sunday offer our client (Cumbria Cruise) the readership/audience we need to target those regular cruisers on a National scale. A lot of Cumbria Cruises customers are past passengers so they need to be in the Mail to reach these people. We have found the Mail to be more flexible in their approach to do business, and understand the client's needs in answering a brief. Unfortunately we sometimes don't get the luxury of a big budget with this client but the mail have always been quick to respond to our needs and very good at offering that little bit extra.

Audrey and Jahan have been great with helping deliver SeaFrance as much value as possible especially with their co-operation on the half page advert with editorial. We are consistently happy to use the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday classified because of the service we get and the performance the titles offer for SeaFrance. I think this is proved by the fact both titles are still on the SeaFrance schedule even though we could not agree to book them through barter, which is a key part of SeaFrance's strategy this year. Performance figures are outstanding in comparison to the core classified national press.

"We have had a long relationship with the Daily Mail and have often found it to be a crucial element to an advertising campaign. The editorial style often fits our clients needs so well and running alongside a healthy advertising section it has meant we can expect good quality responses.
The Daily Mail may not always be the cheapest title on the schedule but you do get what you pay for and other cheaper titles often do not deliver the results our clients expect. Many thanks for the good work and excellent agency contact.
"
- Greg Pipe, Account Director - The Media Cube
TCS Media
"Against designated target markets relating to the travel sector (extrapolated from the TGI research) - both the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday consistently punch above their weight in terms of absolute coverage's and indices.
Also reflected in this is the excellent ROI our clients report from using your titles.
We have no reason for not continuing and enjoying this success!
"
- Alan Hall, Account Director - TCS Media
Ocean Advertising
"The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday exceed our clients' expectations in terms of response time and time again. The classified features are especially popular, with consistently relevant and timely. We're consulted from the outset leading to fantastic - looking features that deliver real results."
- Jill Guest - Ocean Advertising
Intune
"The Daily Mail has been a consistent source of quality leads for our services. Our Saturday insert in the classified section regularly achieves response rates in excess of 160% of target. No other national press title has performed as well over a sustained period of time. I am particularly impressed by the ease of booking and insertion of ads; plus the friendly and efficient customer service offered is one of the many reasons that we continue to promote our services through your publication.

"We advertise in both the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, and rely on the volume of calls that both papers generate week in week out. Expensive... but worth it.

Algarve Villa Owners Ltd
"We thought you might like to know how things are going for the 2011 Season.
Sales are up across all dates throughout the year so it's definitely not just the high season weeks that are in demand which is normally how January begins. In fact we have also noticed a change in the duration of holidays - many are now booking 2 weeks, not just one as was the case last season and they are making use of the airlines "special deals" that are currently on offer.
Our new business has increased slightly but where we really have noticed the change is in the repeat bookings. Clients are seeing our display advertisement and it seems to be reminding them that "we are still around"!! This week alone we have taken quite a number of bookings but the interesting thing is that 5 of them are from clients who travelled with us 4 or 5 years ago and who, having seen the advert, remembered the good holiday they had enjoyed.
So, although they are our old clients, without the advertisement we would not have jogged their memory!!
Many thanks and well done Daily Mail.

"We are very happy with the service our contact has given us. We are always well informed of any last minute spaces and if there is any relevant pieces in the paper that would influence us to place an advert."
- Gary Collins - Attraction Tickets Direct
Travel City Direct
"We recently placed an advert into an Orlando feature in the Daily Mail, and saw a positive uplift in call volumes as a result. The page looked great, was well targeted and worked very well with our product offering to drive calls."
- Tom Scott, Senior Marketing Executive - Travel City Direct
Avanti
"The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday seem to be a successful advertising outlet, with the majority of calls do come from The Mail and we will continue to use both titles. The service we have received from the Mail is very good. We have now agreed to start a new 52 week series in the Saturday Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, and for the first time we have now included the Scottish Daily Mail on a 52 week series."
- Sarah Wilkes - Avanti
Ramblers
"Ramblers began their most recent print campaign with the Daily Mail in June 2010. Since then, we have been compelled to increase their appearance within the paper, purely because of the success and leads it provides. It remains one of the best performing publications, generating excellent business conversion for Ramblers and is at the core of this and many other ongoing press campaigns."
- Tim Bettridge, Ten Alps Media - Ramblers
The Discovery Collection
"Very good response received from the advert. Also dealing with the advertising team is always a pleasure as they make you feel that they seriously know your business and care, this alone is a plus for the Mail."

Manoir De Kercadic
"We have found your staff, especially Ann Morgan, to be attentive, courteous, understanding and highly professional - by far the best of the national papers we have dealt with. Calls are always returned or made when agreed, time is taken to assess our needs, and positive suggestions & feedback are always forthcoming. We feel a real interest in our business and a desire to provide the best service possible, even though we are a very small concern for a big business like yourselves."
- Karen Geipel - Manoir De Kercadic
Scenic Tours
"Scenic Tours have been using the Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday to advertise River Cruise and Escorted Tours for 5 years. Throughout this time, The Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday have continued to provide a steady supply of enquiries. This coupled with the attentive service provided by the Travel Team at the Daily Mail and Mail On Sunday ensures that the titles are a core part of our future media strategy."
- Chris Brown, Artavia Advertising - Scenic Tours
Bartlett Davis Communications
"9/10
It was very easy to get hold of someone to help at the end of the phone - unlike some companies! Very helpful and friendly responses were received by everyone. They very quickly sent someone to take me through the paper so I could best see the set up and best places for our advertising.
There aren't any complaints, only good service received from the classified team."
- Keely Peters - Bartlett Davis Communications
Niagara Healthcare
"We advertised for Sales Agents in August 2012 in the Daily Mail, and were very impressed with the results. We had 47 responses, 14 were interviewed and 6 have been taken on. 2 from the North West, 1 from the West, 2 from the South East and 1 from the South West. The newspaper advert worked out to be a lot more cost effective than using recruitment agencies, and therefore we will be rebooking with the Daily Mail again this week."
- Corina Lewis - Niagara Healthcare
Stannah
"8/10
As the Daily Mail has such a high circulation, the planning rates to advertise often have a substantial bottom-line figure. However, the ROI is worth the initial investment. We work with various grey-market mobility and travel clients who often receive a healthy amount of leads and orders from their DR adverts.
The reps that we deal with in Mobility are by far the most helpful and friendly across any national title that we currently deal with. Our other contacts are also very accomodating to our needs."
- Tim Ryan, Ten Alps - Stannah

The response to the advert exceeded expectations. We received 125+ applications within 5 days of the ad appearing in the paper."

Thank you to Fiona for her help and efficiency during the placing of the advert! The process was made very easy and the results have been excellent."

Admin Solutions for Winning Express
"Very pleasant, professional service and effective advertising."
- Emma Stancil, Admin Administrator - Admin Solutions for Winning Express
Pineapple Direct ltd
"Our latest advertising has proved to be very successful and we have taken a large amount of money from each advert we have placed. This has been the best response to an advert since 2005 however I suspect this could be due to our competitive pricing and the fact there has been a great deal of talk about Gold in the press. However, we should not degrade the response rates and take pleasure out of the success of advertising with the Daily Mail.
...
Further to our previous email regarding the success of the Daily Mail ads, I would like to confirm that they out performed all the other ads we were placing with other National Newspapers by a considerable margin. The nearest competition was the Telegraph but this was still only 25% of the amount achieved through the Mail. And both the ad's that we placed with you performed equally as well."

"Testimonial for the Daily Mail Homes and Gardens Feature
23.11.2011
To whom it may concern,
I was approached by Emily, from the Daily Mail classified advertising department, with regard to advertising in their Homes and Gardens feature. I already advertise in most of the gardening magazines but had not tried national newspapers. Initially the cost seemed to be prohibitive, however, after a long conversation with Emily, I decided to try a four week run. I must say that I did not feel under any pressure from her, but her arguments were convincing.
I have been very pleased with the results and, in terms of leads generated, the cost is comparable with advertising in the gardening press. I feel that I have reached an additional audience that I would not have reached just through the gardening magazines. One thing that surprised me was how sustained the response was. One thinks of today’s newspaper as being tomorrow’s chip wrapper but, in fact, the contacts received were spread right throughout the week.
I would definitely recommend the Daily Mail Homes and Gardens Feature as an effective means of advertising.
Martyn Flint."

Sunflow Ltd.
"This was the first time our company had advertised in the Daily Mail for heating sales people, we were looking for three but we actually recruited four people as we had such high calibre of applicants. We were able to shortlist from a large number of very suitable responses. I am looking to recruit further and will definitely use the Daily Mail again."
- Suzanne Gillbe - Sunflow Ltd.
Envirovent
"Initially I was quite sceptical on trialling advertising with the Daily Mail as I had only enjoyed a small amount of feedback from trade press, however, I am extremely happy with the results the Daily Mail has provided, both in quantity and quality. Not only have I managed to secure candidates for a couple of discovery days but I have a franchisee already on the verge of sign up after just 1 advert.
The advice and support from the sales team has been superb. I have booked a series of 6 adverts in total and am looking forward to our future success."
- Phil Harrison – Franchise Business Development Manager - Envirovent
Direct Wigs
"We have now been advertising in the Daily Mail for some years, and we have found Saturdays Mail to work better for us than Sunday.
Over the years we have slowly dropped all other regional and targeted newspaper advertising, as cost per lead it is much lower from the Saturday Mail than other newspaper advertising.
While response will vary from advert to advert we find that our web sales are normally up by 25% to 40% on the advert weekend, and leads that go onto buy are normally around 75% of the total.
We also find that advertising around 4-6 times a year generates a higher number of leads per advert than advertising for a run of 4-6 weeks.
We find that while customers ages seem to be across the board, they are middle to higher spend groups, which is of course is better for our business.
Over all we are very happy both with the adverts return's and the very helpful staff."
- Dr M.J Ross PhD - Direct Wigs

The World of Park & Leisure Homes Show
"Just a quick note to thank you and your colleagues for the support leading up to the 2011 World of Park & Leisure Homes Show at Stoneleigh. Certainly, the adverts and editorial coverage in the Mail brought additional quality visitors to the show and also helped encourage a few last minute exhibitors. In addition, the coverage helped to provide credibility and enhance the overall standing of the show which I strongly believe is now very definitely, the UK's leading show for Park Home and Leisure Lodges."
- Pat Turner - The World of Park & Leisure Homes Show
Area Energy
"We placed an ad in the Daily Mail for experienced PV sales people and qualified installers based in the Home Counties. The area Managing Director is extremely pleased with the quality of response and will be taking on enough people to fill the current head count. We’ll definitely be using the Daily Mail again when we expand into other regions."
- Roy Warren - Area Energy
Music for Health
"After our advert in the Daily Mail we had 20 people from all over the UK attend our Open Day to find out more about what we do. The amazing thing about these 20 people is that all of them were of the highest calibre, and subject to references and checks, 18 of these people will be joining the MFH family after training. Usually, to come across people this perfect for MFH is the exception rather than the rule, so to have a whole room full of them, all looking as though they were already part of the team, is truly extraordinary.
Many thanks
Helen"

Netfloat
"We are very pleased with our advertising in the Daily Mail. We advertise on a regular basis, and decided to take a break on the 18th June 2011. As a direct result of non-placement of advertisement we saw a significant drop in the amount of orders over the weekend. So immediately re-booked for the following week, where we noticed that our orders increased by 10% from the previous weekend when we didn’t have an advertisement. This proves to us that the Daily Mail is a core title for our advertising campaigns. We do advertise with other national newspapers, but when our advert appears in the Daily Mail, it significantly increases interest in our product."
- Barrie Payne, Managing Director - Netfloat
Brighter Home Solutions
"Our advert had targeted a geographical area (south only) as we were looking for candidates in Cambridge, Herts, Essex, Kent and Sussex. With enough applicants in these areas, they had the correct experience and the advert hit the correct market. So far I have taken on two candidates and filled my head count. The Daily Mail worked very well and my account handler, Alex Heng, made the advertising process very simple. "
- Martin Golloghly - Brighter Home Solutions
Aquatec Rainsoft Ltd
"We advertised our sales vacancies with the Daily Mail, which had a good response of 50 applications. Having received applications nationwide, next time we will definitely be highlighting the area we are recruiting in to be even more targeted. The turn-around from initial enquiry to interviews was extremely efficient and we have taken on 4 candidates already."
- Satish Takhar - Aquatec Rainsoft Ltd
Solway Printers
"We had 20 quality replies in the first 2 days of the advert appearing, with further CV's coming in on Sat and Sun. The i-phone was steaming! By Sunday night we had 3 interviews arranged and one for Tuesday with 1 in reserve. Top quality applicants to boot. We made our selection by Tuesday and the new candidate started the same day. You have a grateful client in Solways Printers and a delighted Daily Mail reader who is now gainfully employed. Thanks again, I will be back when we have another vacancy."
- Tim Solway - Solway Printers
Elite Mobility Limited
"Every week we place ads in the classified sections of several national newspapers on behalf of our Client, Elite Mobility Limited. Most titles perform very well most of the time; however it’s true to say only the Daily Mail can be relied upon for generating a consistent stream of high value leads, no doubt a result of the paper’s quality readership."
- Ross J Pratten, The Point Marketing Limited - Elite Mobility Limited
ING Solar Energy
"We saw 17 good sales people and will be recruiting 12 of these. I was really pleased with the calibre of people.4 had experience in the solar industry which was ideal for us. The level of help from the staff at the Mail was fantastic. We gave them the words for the advert and they put it together and designed it, and also followed up a few days after the advert to make sure it worked for us. Can't thank them enough. We would use the Daily Mail again."
- Dennis Woods - ING Solar Energy
Bright International Training
"We decided to advertise with the Daily Mail because it has a very large circulation and reaches our target audience. We have found it to be a very cost effective way of advertising with great results. Since using the Daily Mail, our rate of enquiries has increased by 25% and our conversion rate is now 22%. We have found the Daily Mail advertising team to be extremely friendly and professional. They really understand the needs of small businesses like ours. We plan to use the Daily Mail even more in the future. "
- Krissy Charles-Jones, Chief Executive - Bright International Training
Passmores
"We were pleased with our response. Our ad has given us good strong quality leads, some of which have led to firm orders. Initial cost seemed high, but the results spoke for themselves. When you compare the cost and response to other media, cost per inquiry is very reasonable. Helpful, friendly contact with knowledgeable sound advice. Good idea to trial both Saturday as well as TMOS."
- Stuart Slaughter - Passmores
Meadowvale Group
"We have used the Daily Mail for our recruitment regularly over the last 12 months, with great success . On one occasion attracting over 150 applicants.

Design a Recliner
"From a standing business we have managed to achieve double the target we set for ourselves within the first 4 weeks of advertising in the Daily Mail. We have found that continuity is key; from advertising bi-weekly to advertising weekly we have seen a significant increase in inquiries, so much so I have got to take on another member of staff!
“Emily has given me honest guidance – which has given me peace of mind and assurance. Over all I would say my investment has been returned and I can now see that one of the best decisions we made was getting involved with the Mail!""
- Alan Jones, Director - Design a Recliner
Backoffice
"I contacted Alex Heng for advice on how best to find a new direct sales team for a product we intend launching across the UK, he suggested an advertisement in the Thursday edition of the Daily Mail, helped with setting the advert and its placement. Between the publication and the web backup we received 128 replies of which we have selected 57 to interview for 4 vacancies. On first pass the quality seems to be very high and of the right calibre, so the words in the advert clearly hit the right spot and the readership is appropriate.
We shall have no hesitation of using the Daily Mail again in the future and at £8.50 per reply, this is in fact quite cheap recruitment"."

- Anna Page, All Response Media - Maplin
Midland Railway Ltd
"We advertised in both The Daily Mail & The Mail on Sunday in the run up to Christmas with a 5x1 black and white advert. We felt it was a worthwhile exercise. About 80-90% of enquiries were conversions and this emphasises that with the Mail we are reaching the right type of readers for our offer of vouchers to drive a steam train. We plan to advertise again in the run up to Fathers Day."
- Allan Calladine - Midland Railway Ltd
Pressplay Ltd
"We booked a half page, horizontal, colour advert in the Daily Mail on 30th October 2010 for an air purifier. The response was by far the best anywhere, outstripping all other national newspapers and as a result we are looking to go in again on 27th November.
Our contact at the Daily Mail is Gary Jakeman."
- Tom Richards, Lavery Rowe - Birmingam - Pressplay Ltd

- Steve Cunningham - Estates and Law
Virtuoso Advertising
"Our client shoe-shop.com had historically been a consistent spender with Mail newspapers. Christopher Wallace suggested organising a meeting between us the agency, the client and representatives for the Mail. This proactive approach helped us have a highly productive meeting that resulted in the client agreeing to re-test the Daily Mail through a series of full colour page adverts (we had been using fractional classified adverts). The Response Team refreshed the creative execution and we also used a tactical placed 5x2 advert (signpost) in display or relevant pages such as health on a Tuesday to direct potential customers to our classified advertisement. The result; shoe-shop responses have risen dramatically. The client is impressed with the collaborative effort made between us the agency and Mail newspapers and I am confident that we will continue our advertising schedule into the autumn season, something that looked unlikely only a few weeks ago. A triumph for everyone involved. Well done Chris!
"
- Ben Harvey - Virtuoso Advertising
Happy Puzzle Company - Daily Mail
"“We have just emerged from the busiest weekend in our 18 year history. A large part of that was due to two full page adverts – one in the Saturday Mail and one in the Mail On Sunday. The advert on Saturday produced a record response. The process of placing that advert, using a particularly ‘risky’ product, was made much easier by the help and guidance of the Mail Classified team, whose care and understanding is second to none in the industry. Selling advertising is not just about yields, it’s about a partnership between the newspaper and the client. Proportionate to its circulation, the Mail performs consistently better for us than any other newspaper. You might not think that the performance of an advertising team makes any difference. Let me assure you that it does. Off-the-page advertising in the national press is alive and well and living in the Daily Mail advertising office!”"
- Gavin Ucko - Happy Puzzle Company - Daily Mail
Whitbread
"We used a combination of a colour advertisement in the recruitment section, editorial and a ROP teaser for our client Whitbread to recruit Managers across the south of England. The response and, more importantly, conversion rate have been good, with approximately 25% of applications converted into hires. Both the agency and client are very happy with the results.
"
- Mike Jefferies - Whitbread
Consultus Care & Nursing Ltd
"We are very pleased with the quality and response of our recent advertisement. We made our advertising enquiry close to Daily Mail copy deadlines for Career Mail. Our account managers Fiona and Alex - although on deadline - took the time to explain our options clearly in a friendly and professional manner; we were extremely impressed with the way they addressed our concerns and specific needs. Therefore as a smaller sized company at no point did we ever feel lost within a corporate giant."
- Natalie Holloway (Marketing Services Officer) - Consultus Care & Nursing Ltd

"We had a volume recruitment process of sales people to undertake and having trialled other media decided to try a small ad in the Daily Mail.

We will advertise in the Daily Mail again without question."
- Jack Cooper - PaymentSense

The advert we placed in August had an excellent response with 23 people applying for a position. We have recruited 8 professionals of an incredibly high standard. I have tried other national newspapers but not with as much success as yourselves and will definitely be using the Daily Mail on a regular basis from now on."
- Kimberley Oldfield - Daisy plc

Regency Park Homes
"I just thought I would take this opportunity to express our thanks for featuring our advert. As a result of that advert we had an excellent response and even had a couple travel 9 hours from Inverness to view our parks and homes and they paid a deposit and had their interview at the same time. We have sold 4 homes on the strength of the advert and whilst attending the Retirement show at Olympia a couple came to our stand clutching a copy of the advert as that is the only way they had heard about the show.
Once again a big thank you for your help and hope we get the same response from future adverts as we fully intend to keep advertising with you."
- Carol Carline - Regency Park Homes
Sameday UK
"Thank you for your prompt response to my request for the Franchise Feature programme and for the info re Linda Witney.
As you are aware we have had both ads and features in the Daily Mail over the years and have always had a very good response, both in terms of numbers and quality.
Apart from the general coverage and valuable PR, the last ad also produced a new franchisee.
The service from yourself and Linda has been excellent and it is a pleasure to do business with you. Keep up the good work."
- Len Rainford - Sameday UK
Pitman Training Group
"Pitman Training Group began advertising for new franchise partners through the Daily Mail Franchise section in 1999, well over ten years now, which in itself speaks volumes in an ever changing world. During this time we have had first class service, cheery responses and an excellent business relationship. We have also been fortunate enough to be profiled on a number of occasions but above all else have received an extremely high quality of business leads from “The Mail”.
Carole, William, Linda and the team have all been terrific and its perhaps unfair to do so but I must single out Kathryn, our account manager, due to her professionalism and helpfulness because, quite simply, we have had more deadline meeting advertising requirements with Kathryn over the last few years. Needless, to say, she has always pulled out the stops for us!! That said, I cannot speak highly enough of all the team, the service and the results. It is always a great pleasure to do business the “The Mail” and we know we will be assured of an excellent service and response in return, so thank you “team” from your partners at Pitman Training Group"
- Mike Cressey - Pitman Training Group
Equinex Limited
"Having placed our first advertisement in the Daily Mail nearly 12 years ago I felt it was about time I wrote to say a big thank you for all the help and advice you and others at the Daily Mail have given us over the years.
Being at the sharp end, your experience and recommendations have proven invaluable and invariably led to increased response rates.
The Daily Mail has proven a fantastic advertising platform for us and we look forward to the next 12 years and watching this great newspaper go from strength to strength."

By running adverts on a regular basis I find I receive a constant stream of well targeted enquiries. The profile of the newspaper fits my target audience i.e. - people who are serious about staring their own business. All of the people I deal with in the ad department are really helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. I especially like dealing with Kathryn and William. They have helped me monitor and improve my adverts. Newspaper advertising works as well in 2010 as any time in the past. I have already booked my ad space with them for the next 12 months. The Daily Mail is a trusted media and if you are not using it you are missing out.""

1) Excellent and knowledgeable sales people who are a pleasure to work with.
2) My representatives always go the extra mile and do what they promise.

4) I can't recall a client who has had a bad response and we have traded for over 30 years.

Artavia Advertising
"Melissa Routledge is a delightful contact. She takes great pride in her sections. No request is ever too much for Melissa, she will always do everything she possibly can to accommodate a client whatever the situation.

Despite the recession and doubts people have over their future here in the UK, we were genuinely surprised and delighted with the results from the Daily Mail, there is certainly no shortage of good, potential clients who still want to buy a home in Spain. We had an exceptional response from the Mail Adverts, as usual high quality enquiries and certainly a noticeably much higher serious response from any of the other major national we also advertise in.

The speed of advertising with yourselves is also advantageous-lead times with monthly glossy`s are weeks whereas you are less than a day ! I also enjoy the "rap" with Marie on your sales team which refreshingly does not revert to 'hard sell'. A happy customer. Many thanks.

Oak Tree Mobility
"Since advertising with the Mail on a consistent basis I've found that the amount of interest that we have generated as a new business has grown considerably since we started the company. There is no doubt that over a certain amount of time, readers of the Daily Mail have built up a trust basis with our advert and this has been reflected in the responses that we have received over the last few months. Advertising in general has been a huge learning curb and we have come to realise that there are many underlying factors that can determine the kind of customer reaction that we receive. For example, the position of the advert, the size, style and even the page that it is on. Thankfully the people I have communicated with at the Mail have given me sufficient guidance and advice, making sure that we are well prepared for all of these factors and therefore I have been extremely impressed with the way in which they have co-ordinated with myself and my colleagues. Overall I have been extremely pleased with everyone that I have dealt with on the Daily Mail team and can honestly say that in terms of customer response, the Daily Mail is by far the most successful of all the media sources that we have dealt with. A big thank you to everyone, keep up the good work!"

Magnopulse
"Given the current climate where everything is doom and gloom, I thought you would be pleased to know and be aware of the excellent response we have received form our recent advertisements placed with you in the Daily Mail for May and June. As you know LadyCare for menopause is now in 596 best Boots Stores, 1,100 Lloyds Pharmacy Stores and over 100 of Waitrose Biggest Supermarkets nationwide. When we place advertisements in the Daily Mail we try to avoid using other media for that week, mainly because we always get a good response but also all retail outlets provide us with an electronic point of sales report from the bar code recorded sales. This enables us to measure the effectiveness of all media providing we don't cross over. In both instances we can see major spikes on our sales graph for the week/s in question. There are no guarantees with advertising but I think it safe to say the Daily Mail is reliable and dependable."
- Chris Chatterton, Sales and Marketing Director - Magnopulse
