Stonemason carves out success with The Village Emporium

Stonemason Moira Morriss was keen to develop the individually commissioned sculpture side of her business so was one of the first advertisers to sign up for issue one of The Village Emporium. It’s a
decision that has paid for itself many times over, and Moira has advertised in every subsequent issue.

Moira, and husband Malcolm, have an enormous amount of experience as stone carvers and bespoke lettercutters. Much of their work has been on historic buildings and public art. But Moira wanted to develop the bespoke side of her portfolio by working with private clients to create individual works of art.

"The Village Emporium has certainly helped us to reach the sort of people who appreciate individual design and have realistic expectations of the costs involved,” says Moira. “What’s more, the leads we get
from The Village Emporium usually turn into commissions, more so than with other media.”

According to Moira the two-month shelf life of The Village Emporium works well too. “I know people keep it and use it. I often get calls several weeks after it has gone out. But advertising every two months helps keep costs down which is important.”
