Falmouth Christmas
The Christmas promotional literature and window posters will be delivered to town businesses over the next couple of days. Many of you will have seen Christmas posters in numerous bus shelters in the area and this will be combined with a strong push via 5,000 promotional fliers, local media editorial and online marketing.
