Get The Most Out Of Re-Opening

It’s great that so many more of our City Centre businesses are re-opening again after a long-awaited time. Your BID wants to help you get the most out of it as you possibly can. We are here to support you every step of the way.

Here are 10 things to tick off your list to help make this reopening a successful one.

1. Free Shop 4 Plymouth listing

Make sure your business is listed on Shop 4 Plymouth, city’s online marketplace for shops, eateries and service providers. Join in with our campaign to encourage people to shop & eat local and try new places.

2. Free Visit Plymouth listing

If you are in the leisure, tourism and hospitality industry, make sure that you are listed on Visit Plymouth. This is free to our BID members. Check that your business description and information are still correct and visitor-ready. Are the pictures up to date? Perhaps you’ve added new facilities you’d want to mention? Send over any refreshed imagery & text to info@visitplymouth.co.uk.

3. Keep us updated
