2. Three distinct advertising platforms
working hand in hand to provide
maximum exposure and guarantee
the very best response from
your advertising.
Auction News
No.1 Independent
Auction Advertising Platform
Auction News has advertised for many of the
world’s leading auctioneers involved in the
disposal of assets across all sectors of industry
for over 50 years. Our advertising is proven and
guaranteed to reach key decision makers.
Auction News is committed to making your auctions visible to
the widest possible audience of buyers and has continually
developed its online marketing to complement the traditional
magazine advertising.
We pride ourselves on giving value for money and creating
long-term relationships with our customers. Whether you are an
auctioneer looking to advertise an auction or an agent booking on
behalf of a client, you will find our team friendly, helpful and eager
to satisfy your needs.
Many of our advertisers have appeared regularly in the magazine
for well over a decade and the positive feedback from our new
advertisers tells us they like what we do for them too. It’s our
reward and incentive to be ever more successful!
In 2015 we implemented a major upgrade with a fresh new look to
the magazine and a brand new “.com” mobile and tablet friendly
website. All email marketing material was completely redesigned
along with our Facebook and Twitter profiles.

database of over 26,000 subscribers and opt-in website
registrants every week.
To give an extra boost to your advertising response, you could
consider one of our premium page positions. All cover positions

more buyers to your auction.
Why not join the band of satisfied auctioneers who regularly
advertise their auctions in Auction News.
