A relationship built on trust
WIGAN COURIER was founded in September 1998, when the first 12 page Standish Courier appeared, distributed to 5,400 homes in the village, containing local news and small advertisements from local advertisers, all willing to support the concept of a truly LOCAL paper.
Since then the paper has gone from strength to strength. The Wigan Courier is now a 34,777 circulation newspaper, keeping the editorial very LOCAL.
Every edition we circulate to more than 32,000 homes, newsagents and distribution points in Standish, Shevington, Appley Bridge, Aspull, Standish Lower Ground, Orrell, North Wigan, Winstanley, Pemberton, Wrightington, (the only free paper to do so in Aspull and Wrightington), Scholes, Whelley and new Springs - delivered to homes with high disposable income. Some 96% of our distribution is direct to owner-occupiers.
The only news that the readers of the Courier read is GOOD news. We believe that the reader should be left with a good feeling after reading our newspaper - not filled with doom and gloom. This has proved to be a winning formula.
Since our launch we have developed a very strong and loyal customer base.
- They are loyal because we provide an extremely high level of customer service
- They are loyal because we are unrivalled with our colour availability - we have colour available on EVERY PAGE in the paper
- They are loyal because they GET RESULTS from advertising in the Courier
- Our advertisers range from local shops, pubs and restaurants - to national companies including JJB, Moat House Hotels, Nissan, Toyota and Vauxhall
