“Tooting & Balham Newsie have been a fantastic partner to help us tell the story of Zipcar for Business, and how we’re helping support local businesses. The team has helped increase the number of people signing up to our car-sharing service as well as understanding of our USPs and key values.  The team at Newsie are a delight to work with; always thinking of new creative ideas as well as being very reliable and efficient in their work.”

“We have had a great response from our adverts posted with Tooting and Balham Newsie. The engagement has been fantastic and the adverts have definitely bought us new enquires and sales.

“I messaged the Tooting Newsie team for help with advertisement when I began renting a room at Revive in Tooting Bec back in October. I was nervous and unsure about how popular I would be, but as soon as they posted about me I was inundated with messages. They arranged for a photo, wrote up the caption and really put their all into promoting me. I was overwhelmed by the response and since then I’ve contacted them for further advertising. Tooting Newsie are absolutely fantastic and I only ever benefit from working with them, and will absolutely continue to do so in the future.”
Rachel Cotton, Brows by RSC

“I’ve been working with Tooting Newsie every month since January 2019 and what can I say – the people of Tooting now call me even when I haven’t done an ad! The return on investment is great. It keeps me first in mind when someone needs help with an injury and I will be sure to continue using them as a service to promote my business. To me there are very few better ways to raise awareness about your business than through a community page like Tooting Newsie.”

“I founded a successful fine wine merchants business in 2000 focused on trade, but when Covid-19 hit, I had to change strategy to offer wine direct to local customers. As I live in Balham, I ran some promotional posts through both Balham Newsie & Tooting Newsie to promote the new local wine delivery business I set up – we received lots of orders (including repeat orders) and new followers and it hugely helped us to start getting our name out in the local community.”
Akos Forczek, CEO, Top Selection Ltd
 

“As a result of the post you did for us on both Tooting Newsie and Balham Newsie, 23 new local cooks have signed up to our platform. The engagement has been fantastic with loads of positive messages from people who’ve found out about us through Newsie. It’s been fantastic!”

Tooting Newsie have helped promote Open Events at Ernest Bevin College via their social media channels and blog for the last two years. The team there have been very proactive and helpful in all my dealings with them, including coming in to take fresh photos for the posts and being interested in finding new angles to help grab attention and promote the college over and above the basic message. They've also provided feedback on the reach of these campaigns which has helped us to analyse their impact. Partnering with Tooting Newsie has been very worthwhile – they're very knowledgeable about the local area and a pleasure to work with.”
