Interactive - I create the puzzles using words about your business so its interactive. My readers spend on average 10 mins per page studying your business! Hassle free - I design the puzzles myself and I create adverts too. You can provide an advert but I'm happy to sort it all for you.
Communication - I pride myself on good communication. All businesses featured receive a draft of the advert/puzzle before it goes to print with an opportunity to make amendments if you wish.
Puzzle pages includes a puzzle about your business, an advert at the bottom of the page and your business name/logo at the top.
Direct reader contact - I have direct contact with my readers and can provide feedback when its received and also let you know your reply rate for your competition.
Competitions - All puzzles are set up as competitions. I ask for a prize of somesort, a voucher, product or service for example. I collect all the entries and a winner is chosen using a number randomizer. I contact the winner & the business and send out a Barrowby Bamboozler voucher with a unique reference code for the winner to redeem their prize. Some businesses prefer to have their own voucher and this is absolutely fine. I can also work with codes for online vouchers too.
Low Cost- I like to support local independent businesses and so I keep my prices low. Also, the Barrowby Bamboozler is printed in black and white to keep costs & therefore prices low.

Nottingham edition I had inflammatory breast cancer age 33 and although I got into remission after chemo, radiotherapy and several ops, unfortunately it came back after 3 years as secondaries in my liver & bones. It was a terrible shock, I have finished 6 rounds of chemo and Im on a targeted therapy every three weeks. My last set of tests showed I was in complete remission which is incredible!! Im extremely happy!!
In the early part of 2016 I spoke to the Nottingham City Hospital and they agreed I could do a special magazine for them. I wanted to entertain patients and visitors while they are waiting at the hospital and also raise money for Prof Chan by donating 20% of my profits from the Nottingham Magazine. My readers absolutely love it and I have regular fantastic feedback.
This magazine is distributed at the Nottingham City Hospital. Its a special edition and I donate 20% of my profits from the Nottingham edition to Professor Chan's Breast Cancer Research. He is also my Oncologist and without him, well, I wouldn't be here so its nice to give something back to directly help his research. I distribute 1000 hard copies across a variety of departments including Oncology, Chemotherapy, CT Scan, Bone Dosimetry, Urology, Xray, Outpatients and many more. The magazine is also available to anyone who has subscribed to receive it by email. The magazine is also uploaded onto the Barrowby Bamboozler's website.
I do 5 editions per year of the Nottingham magazine.
