- Advertising Job Vacancies, Events, Publicity & other activities/reports
How your advert is promoted: there are three primary elements to our service:
- The main service is provided by direct mailing your advert to our contacts who have signed up to receive targeted emails.
- Your advert is uploaded to the CMS website.
- The details are promoted again in the weekly CMS Newsletters which are emailed to subscribers every Tuesday and Thursday. Your advert remains in the Newsletters until the application period closes.
- These mailings reach 8000+ sector-relevant contacts direct to their inbox.
Social Media
We also push your advert through our social media channels using our house-style images.
Feedback
After the closing date we provide feedback on the click and open rates for both the directmailing and the weekly publicity in the CMS Newsletters.

- Multiple vacancies: You can include more than one post in the one advert, we often find that adverts with multiple vacancies attract higher click & open rates.

- Real time testing and feedback: Try it and see; you might want to see this advertising as a trial and we’d be happy to engage with you on this and provide feedback as necessary. You might want to consider a programme of adverts for the event. We find that what you promote varies from the beginning to the days leading up to the event.

- VAT: Will be charged at the standard rate. Charities do not qualify for VAT relief; this is because our direct email service is sent to selected individuals, not the general public. Please see the relevant reference in the Charity Advertising VAT notice 701/58, January 2019.
