Leisure Medical UK: advertising on appointment cards for GP surgeries

Leisure Medical UK presents itself as the UK's leading provider of appointment cards and booklets for GP surgeries funded through advertising sponsorship. The company has been operating since 1999 and extends its activity to England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, according to its own description.

The model consists of producing full-colour printed appointment cards that feature advertisements from businesses local to the surgery. In this way, the advertiser promotes its services and helps to cover the cost of the surgery's materials. The company targets both professionals and businesses that want to advertise and the surgeries themselves that are looking for funding for their cards.

Printing and design services

The company prints full-colour appointment cards using digital technology. It has an in-house graphic design team that creates the client's advertisement with a professional finish. Its catalogue offers two advert formats: half page and full page.

• Half page advert: prices from £995 plus VAT.
• Full page advert: prices from £1,495 plus VAT.

The company describes this system as a simple and cost-effective way of promoting local businesses.

Sectors and types of advertisers

The site lists the sectors its advertising offer targets: aesthetics, baby scans, car dealers, care homes, childcare, dental care, estate agents, funeral directors, health and fitness, healthcare, hearing care, home care, hotels, opticians, personal training, pharmacy, physiotherapist, pre-school, restaurant, schools and solicitors.

Contact and enquiry management

The company handles general enquiries and specific graphic design enquiries through separate email addresses. For advertisers, it asks them to include their contract number in the contact form; for GP surgeries, it asks them to provide the site reference number.

The site includes opinions from advertisers. Imran Khan, from Bismillah Funeral Services, highlights the speed, convenience and reliability of the service. Andrew Jones, from A. M. Jones Motor Engineers, values the professional look of his advert and hopes to expand his customer base.
