APPLE founder Steve Jobs once said: “I want to put a ding in the universe”. It’s fair to say he succeeded. Now Midlands based companies with ambitions to put their own ding in the local sector will welcome the launch of Newsquest’s fantastic new Zoom In service.

Zoom In, the innovative new leaflet delivery service is the local partner of Newsquest’s national leaflet sales operation, Newsquest Direct, which has been successfully looking after the activity of clients – including big name companies such as Ikea and B&Q - for more than 25 years.

Newsquest, which publishes more than 90 local newspapers, including Worcester Berrows Journal and Malvern Gazette, believes Zoom In will revolutionise local business marketing because it means they can now benefit from the sophisticated planning tools which are normally reserved for large national advertisers.

By giving local small and medium sized enterprises access to all these latest planning tools, Zoom In will help them identify and pinpoint the very best prospects with door drops, cutting out waste and saving money. Newsquest has had a national leaflet sales wing for more than 25 years and over this time it has developed core strengths in designing campaigns that deliver the best possible response.

In addition to the bespoke planning advice, Zoom In offers a full leaflet service including everything from design and print to final delivery – we look after the whole package, freeing up clients to get on with their own business matters.

And finally, with access to Newsquest’s market leading digital products Zoom In can really provide small to medium sized enterprises with a total audience solution, maximising response.

Nick Brown, Sales Director at Zoom In, said: “This is an exciting opportunity for small and medium sized businesses and Zoom In to work together to deliver campaigns that really work. Our expertise in planning campaigns, coupled with the benefits of door drops and digital, presents a compelling case for local businesses of all sizes.”
