A marketing firm has won a contract to distribute millions of leaflets for Scottish tourism bodies in a deal which it believes is the biggest of its kind awarded in Scotland.
EAE Limited will deliver and display more than five million promotional brochures and leaflets in 5,000 outlets across Scotland annually under a contract worth around £1m.
Midlothian-based EAE expects to create four new jobs after winning the contract, which will help secure the future of the 44 full-time staff employed by the company.
EAE will distribute leaflets for VisitScotland, Historic Scotland, the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body and the National Trust for Scotland for the next two years.
Glenn Bennett, managing director of EAE, said: "While there is no doubt that more and more people are accessing visitor information online and through mobile devices, there is still very significant proven demand for printed materials that people can pick up as they travel across Scotland."
Privatey owned EAE will work on the contract with the Len Lothian storage business.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
