Articles & Press Releases
Please send us or upload your articles and press releases - those considered to be the of most interest to our readers will be featured within the "News" section, free of charge. In addition press releases and articles will be considered for inclusion in the directory section, for a set-up charge of £109 + VAT for a single press release or article.
This small charge is equivalent to the colour separation charge levied by many printed magazines. The web page itself can then be printed out to add to your press cuttings folder.
The Directory has a comprehensive search facility to enable interested parties to find your clients information quickly and efficiently, giving the data a longer shelf life than a printed magazine.

Circulation
The
FoodDrink online magazine has evolved from the popular "Food & Drink"
paper copy, which was circulated to a targeted audience of 5,000 with a readership
of over 10,000.
In order to increase the number of readers of FoodDrink, we send out 5,000 email newsletters to key contacts in the European food and drink industry every month, summarising the key news items, and linking directly to fooddrink.biz where your products/services are listed.
As FoodDrink is Internet based, we have more accurate statistics on readership on an hourly and daily basis. This information will prove useful for market research and market trends. In addition, FoodDrink has been made available to thousands of consumers who access the site from links with consumer-related sites. With Manufacturer sponsorship we are inviting end-user consumer visitors to participate in online questionnaires/surveys and current Food Drink news items.
