"Velvet is full of interesting articles on local businesses, shops and services. The articles are well written and factual, not just aspirational old tosh! A really quality magazine that keeps me reading." - Velvet reader

"Modern and sophisticated, this magazine is a credit to its small production team. Sumptuous advertising complements the features, which zing along with flair and precision. Enough to make you want to move to Cambridge or Bury St Edmunds.” - InPublishing, November 2019

"When our clients receive coverage in Velvet it always gives the brand excellent exposure and nine times out of ten it delivers orders. The competitions, in particular, deliver great brand exposure and increase the following for the brand with the benefit of adding hugely valuable data to the mailing lists. They offer an excellent return on investment." - Vhari Russell (MD), The Food Marketing Experts

"Thank you so much for featuring my shop’s clothes in your cover shoot for Velvet magazine. It had a great impact on my sales - in fact I sold out of all the items that you featured! It was lovely working with you and your very professional team." - Nicola Brooks (Owner), Brooks Designer Dress Agency

"Velvet has become much more than a fabulous local magazine to us. The attention to detail and support for independents it provides is amazing and the team of staff are so professional - and are fast becoming great friends of ours too! Their ethos and vision is what sets them apart and we love the editorial they put together for us. It always has such an impact for us both online and instore." - Hayley Attridge (Owner), Blue
