What’s on St Albans is the leading and truly local website in St Albans and is run by local people for local people.
Our average monthly page views are 77,000 with 24,000 visitors and these figures have increased by 75% from January to November 2011. We have an email list of over 10,500 who receive our newsletter.
We are not a faceless franchise with only profit in mind. We sit down with you and work out what the best way is to market your business. We like to stay in contact with you and update your page whenever you like at no extra cost. If you join the loyalty scheme you can also change your offer whenever you like.
The website has been created as a way of keeping customers shopping in St Albans and have found one of the best ways to do this is for businesses to offer discounts for customer loyalty. By joining www.whatsonstalbans.co.uk you will be able to reach thousands of new customers and maybe some old ones who have stopped using your services.
The loyalty card has been downloaded thousands of times since we launched in August 2009 mainly from St Albans residents, but also a large number of people living in Harpenden, Wheathampstead, Redbourn, Hemel Hempstead, Watford and Hertford - which is hardly surprising as we do have a lot of shops, restaurants, businesses and a whole host of other things to offer.
So, if you would like to sign up to the website, please do give us a call or drop us an email and we will be more than happy to give you a 5 minute demo of the website, it’s hardly rocket science and very easy to navigate.

Our monthly advertising leaflet
We have created an A4 folded to A5 leaflet which is delivered to 10,000 homes in St Albans and also as a pickup in local shops and businesses.
The purpose of the leaflet is to advertise local businesses to a greater customer base.
As a business or event organiser you may not be able to afford to create your own leaflet and then pay to have it distributed, or you may wish to expand on your current leaflet run to cover other areas.
Each leaflet has a cutout of the loyalty card which can then be used at any of the participating advertisers outlets as many times as they wish.
Full page A5 advert £240
Half page A6 advert £150
Quarter page A7 £80
We create all the artwork included in the price, if you have your own artwork, that can also be used but we will need to check that it’s ok to print. If not then we will re-create it at no extra cost.
