Take part in a real court case, feed questions and ultimately decide the verdict

We have limited tickets as this event is being held in a real courtroom. No stage, no scenery. In the courtroom itself. And the decision of guilty or not guilty is not determined until YOU DECIDE.

The Halo Effect of Advertising

Advertising doesn’t just drive immediate sales — it also creates a halo effect.

When your brand appears in a respected magazine:
• Readers assume credibility and professionalism
• Even if they don’t respond today, they remember your brand tomorrow
• Over time, this builds trust and preference

Advertising in Links Magazines means being part of a trusted environment — and your brand benefits from that credibility.

Brand Building Takes Time

We often remind advertisers: one advertisement is not enough.
Building a brand is like planting seeds — the harvest comes later.

• Short-term advertisements can create quick responses
• Long-term, consistent advertisements create recognition, trust, and preference

That’s why the most successful advertisers in Links Magazines commit to consistent campaigns — month after month, year after year.

The Lead Journey – Links Magazines
Your advert has done its job — it’s caught attention and sparked action and created a lead.
But what happens after that is what really decides if a lead turns into a customer.
Too often, good leads die because of:
A confusing website, a poor phone experience, slow or unhelpful customer service or an
outdated or inactive social media presence

A strong lead journey looks like this:
• Your advert creates awareness
• Your website builds trust
• Your response — on the phone, in person, or online — turns interest into commitment

At Links Magazines, we help you start that journey with effective advertising and lead generation but we will also be honest with you if we think the next steps are not going to nurture that lead.

Let’s make sure your business is ready when opportunity knocks.
Inspired by McKinsey & Co., “The Consumer Decision Journey” (2009)

Why niche advertisers may see lower responses – and why that’s normal

At Links Magazines, we sometimes need to explain to advertisers why response levels can look lower when they’re selling a niche product.
It comes down to something called the Sales Funnel.
Our total readership is 128,000 people – that’s the broad universe we start with. But as we narrow the focus, the audience naturally reduces:

128,000 read the magazines
A smaller number are actively interested in home improvement
Fewer still are currently looking for new windows
An even smaller group are considering wooden windows
And only a tiny fraction are ready to buy stained glass windows today

At each step, the audience (and therefore the potential responses) shrinks. This isn’t a sign of failure – it’s simply how markets behave.
The key point for advertisers is this: while the numbers get smaller, the people who remain are the most relevant and qualified prospects.
That’s why we encourage clients to think of advertising not just as a quick win, but as a way to guide readers through the funnel — from broad awareness to specific interest and finally to purchase.
