Date

12 August 2010

Description

Businesses across Northumberland are being given a boost, thanks to a brand new online resource which has been created especially to help them promote their organisations. Northumberland Tourism has launched www.marketingnorthumberland.com as part of its Market Town Welcome project. Businesses can use the website’s resources to improve their marketing ability and attract new customers. www.marketingnorthumberland.com provides help and advice about how to use the Northumberland brand, handy ‘how-to’ guides on subjects such as designing your own leaflets to advertising and digital media. The site also provides free to use images, town logos and copy for businesses to download for their own marketing materials. The Market Town Welcome programme includes the towns of Amble, Alnwick, Berwick upon Tweed, Haltwhistle, Hexham, Morpeth, Seahouses and Wooler. The programme aims to help the towns fully exploit their tourism potential, by working with businesses to help boost visitor numbers and raise their profile. The project is a collaboration with One North East, Northumberland County Council, Northumberland Tourism and the development trusts within each of the towns.
