About the publisher, Anne Bradish:
Anne Bradish has been in the advertising field for over 25 years, having worked for the News Herald, Advo, and the Plain Dealer among others. She has also experienced the marketing end of the business as marketing director for Georgio’s Oven Fresh Pizza Co. and The Lighthouse Grille. She learned a lot from each media and eventually chose to put her expertise to work through her own publication and be able to do it Her Way. She always wanted to give advertisers more than just an "ad" by getting artistically creative whenever possible.
Another thing she always noted about other shopper's guides is that they only had ads. She was always told, "why waste space on fillers that didn't pay?". But Anne knew that readers would enjoy her magazine more if she could offer things like Featured Pets, Kid's Drawings, Contests and Featured Client of the Month to name a few. Sometimes her clients offer contests like the Easter coloring page.
History.
In 2004, Anne spent a lot of time and effort looking for an area that was not over-saturated with advertising media, yet supported by several owner/operated retail and service industries. She found that Madison/Perry was the perfect place to establish her new business endeavor. The Madison/Perry area is a growing area in eastern Lake County Ohio and Anne knew that she could serve the business and residential communities with excellent customer service.
To add a competitive advantage to the mix, she also chose to include Geneva to the distribution area. Geneva is in the adjoining (Ashtabula) county east of Madison, Ohio, but Anne knew that residents shop from one town to the next, because she lived in Madison for 11 years until recently moving out to the Jefferson area.
When you advertise in Town Shopper Magazine you can expect to receive the best customer service and wonderfully creative Ad design. All Ads are custom designed, and can be presented in full color with photos. You can change parts of your ad for every issue if that’s what you desire, and Anne will photograph anything you want at no extra charge.
