Following a very successful seminar on ‘Attracting and Retaining Visitors’ in May, our next North Yorkshire Towns Alive seminar on 15 September focuses on ‘How to market your town’.

• This event is now fully booked
  

Susan Briggs, a North Yorkshire based marketing specialist, will offer a practical and straightforward insight into low cost marketing activities that work, including:

• Deciding on a Unique Selling Point (USP) – some practical examples and options
• Which promotional tools work best, and when?
• Very quick, simple ways to market on the web – whether you have a website already or not
• How to write press releases to get no-cost publicity and attract more funders
• Working together – collaborative approaches and ideas that nearly always work
• Not just ‘yet another leaflet’… easy fast ways to massively improve print material – and do it without a big budget

Practical sessions will be interspersed throughout the day so the learning is interactive and fast moving.  You should go home feeling enthused, excited and not just clear about what you have to do next to improve your marketing – you’ll have already started it before the end of the day!

You will also be able to hear from one town which has done just this and, having identified their USP, have used it to promote their town with award winning results.
