Falmouth BID Updates


Christmas Lights Switch on and Parade
Don’t forget, wrap up warm (shouldn’t need your snorkel!) and show your support for the Christmas lights switch on this Thursday 29th Nov. Parade leaves Events Square around 5.45pm, arriving at the Moor for the schoolchildren to then sing carols before the 7pm switch on.

Late Night Shopping
I have now made live the Late Night Shopping Page as part of the Falmouth Christmas section on the Falmouth.co.uk website. Accessed via the homepage so very good profile. There are a number of businesses who have responded to requests from Richard gates and myself for late opening details, but if you are open late then please get in touch so that we can help promote the fact! We have no information from businesses around the Moor/Kimberley Park Rd/Berkeley Vale area for example, so please get in touch so that we can help promote anything you may be doing around Christmas!

Special Offers Page
Another reminder that I have set up a Special Offers Page accessed via a dedicated button on the homepage of Falmouth.co.uk, so great profile. Please do get in touch with Nicola Kneebone at the Visitor Information Centre who is co-ordinating offers on my behalf if this page could help your business in  any way - nicola@falriver.co.uk.

Shop Local, Think Falmouth
By way of an update, BID will be pushing forward with this key message and campaign and will launch next week. Some good ideas from traders, in particular Nick from Wavelength One has seen this come to fruition with BID  funding promotional material to distribute to all businesses in the town plus via bus shelter sites. I will be arranging a photocall (likely to be on The Moor) for as many businesses to attend as possible, details to follow in next week’s update but please do spare 5 mins to attend that. I want a big crowd to come along to shout about the Shop Local, Think Falmouth message so that the campaign has greater emphasis, leading to greater media coverage and subsequent benefit to you.

SPLASH BIG ART Banner
Due to the extreme weather I have arranged takedown of the vibrant 100ft long art banner along Grove Place, that was installed for the BID funded SPLASH Festival week in September and helped improve that area of fencing. The intention will be to install again in Spring 2013.
