A new ‘one-stop shop’ for everything about your town. Whether you are looking for a place to eat, somewhere interesting to visit, or a place to sleep, Corby and the surrounding area has a huge range of attractions available to the visitor.
Now, the local business community, with the help of seed funding from Corby Borough Council, has come together to create www. lovecorby.co.uk, a one-stop-shop that will promote the many businesses in Corby and the surrounding villages, to both visitors and residents alike.
The Corby Visitor Forum has been formed from the private sector to manage this funding and spend it to maximum effect. The website and related marketing of Corby is run on a not-for-profit basis and the Forum members are all giving their time free to promote Corby and the surrounding area.
Business focus
The Love Corby website is all about you and your business. It works by attracting visitors to a popular and accessible site about Corby, and then directing the visitors to your own business website. It could be used by any resident looking for a business or service or a visitor from out of the area coming to stay here.
The greater the number of businesses that sign up, the greater the benefit of the site to all the users and to those that have joined! Lovecorbyuk @lovecorbyuk www.lovecorby.co.uk The fee for joining the website starts at just £25 and has been deliberately kept low to make it affordable. All the fees received will be ploughed back into promoting the site and the area.
Upon joining, each business can create a profile page, with photos, which includes up to three pictures, 50 words about your business, telephone, email address and web address. They will also receive a Welcome Pack which includes various marketing material which can be used to promote Love Corby and encourage customers or clients to use the website.
There is a section on the website to list events which could range from a special evening in your restaurant, a promotional day in a shop, to an exciting afternoon at the motor racing.
New sign-ups will have the opportunity to become the ‘featured business’ on the site for a period of time and benefit for additional high profile exposure. The website is secure and professionally monitored and mediated – any inappropriate businesses will be refused access.
In addition to the website, the Corby Visitor Forum also organise social media activities on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. These will include featured businesses, competitions, games, etc. where local businesses can reach out to existing followers and connect with new audiences. In just a few months there are already 30+ businesses signed up and the number is growing weekly.
