Island Echo has launched a brand new family announcements section covering births, marriages and deaths across the Isle of Wight.
With an ever-growing and far-reaching readership, it is felt that now is the right time to bring a traditional print feature into the online era – right here on the Island’s leading news website.
Whether you are celebrating a birth, announcing the coming together of 2 families or sharing the news of a loved one’s passing, the Island Echo family announcement page allows you to do this with ease for a one-off fee of just £6. And there is no need to wait until Friday for it to appear online…
Finding a recently placed announcement could be easier. Simply select a category – births, marriages or deaths – at www.islandecho.co.uk/announcements and you will see all the latest notices in chronological order. Alternatively, you can use the search bar to find a specific individual or surname.
Darren Toogood, Editor and Publisher of Island Echo, says:
“We’ve heard from so many people that placing a family announcement can be tricky and expensive, so with that in mind we have created a system that is not only straightforward but honest and upfront with its pricing – for £6 your announcement includes a photograph and as much content as you wish. It also appears online within just 24 hours, without the need to wait until Friday.
“The key principle of an announcement is that people take notice. We have now been established 10 years and have a huge following, so feel the time is right to launch this service as we have confidence that your message will be seen – whether than be a birth, marriage or death”.
