About Bikemagic

Bikemagic is Magicalia’s oldest site and we’re very proud of it. In a busy sector, Bikemagic attracts slightly older (36yrs) and more discerning riders who know what they want and are happy paying more to get it. We’ve been around long enough to understand that most UK riders ride whatever terrain they can roll their wheels across and have always avoided becoming too focused on one riding style or another. Fads come and go, and what’s more, it’s the everyday riders with money in their pockets who spend money in bike shops and on holidays. And that’s precisely the audience we bring you.

    The right solution

    We offer a range of advertising, sponsorship and data collection products because every client is different and standard display may not be the best solution for you.

    Here’s how we see it:

    Standard display formats are the best solution for you if you are looking for a cost effective way of reaching the largest possible audience with a clear and simple message

    Rich media and special executions are perfect if you are looking for extra impact and to ‘drive home’ a message as quickly as possible

    Advertorials and micro-sites work best for if your product or service needs explanation or you want a way of engaging customers and ‘warming them up’ to buy

    Text advertising is the most cost effective way of keeping your name ‘front of mind’, helping with search engine indexing and for sending customers to your website

    Email marketing will provide the best response for you if you have a direct and relevant offer to put in front of customers

    Data competitions will help you educate customers about your product as well as providing valuable op-in contacts for your marketing database

    Customer service

    Bringing your ideas to life
    Our in-house designers and technicians are here to help you. It may be a simple ad, a competition or something more technical and involved. If you have an idea we’ll help you bring it to life and take it to your customers.

    Tracking and delivery
    Our Microsoft ad serving technology will help you track every pound of your adverting investment and we’ll work closely with you to make sure your campaigns deliver and deliver on time.

    Helping you influence more customers
    To guarantee your campaign reaches the maximum number of customers the optimum number of times, we can limit or cap the occasions individuals are exposed to your ad. For example, if you bought 1M ad impressions, capped at 4 exposures that would guarantee your campaign reached at least 250,000 individuals a maximum of 4 times each. This way you can be certain your investment is working as hard as possible for you.

    UK-only IP addresses
    We can restrict your advertising to UK-only IP addresses to guarantee you target local customers with local budgets.

    Proactive account management/br> Online advertising provides lots useful feedback and statistics. I will work closely with you helping you interpret your ad reports and making recommendations where necessary to make sure your campaign is as successful as possible.
