HullBID is delighted to announce once again the offer of free online promotion for BID members! www.christmasinhull.co.uk allows the general public to find out a variety of information such as events and activities, retail offerings, attractions, transport, opening times and special offers.
In 2011 HullBID launched www.christmasinhull.co.uk – a dedicated website to all things festive in Hull city centre. The website met with great interest and in the lead up to Christmas attracted 5,766 visits, 390 likes on facebook and 277 followers on twitter. It is predicted that this year the website and related social media will be even more successful. So much so that Hull City Council is backing the initiative and using the website as their main platform for online engagement.
BID businesses are being urged to utilise the website to the best advantage by providing HullBID with details of their activities and offers. Any business wanting to advertise their Christmas news or wish to be included in the ‘venues’ listings should e-mail info@christmasinhull.co.uk. For those businesses that use social media, please like/follow Christmas in Hull on www.facebook.com/ChristmasInHull and www.twitter.com/ChristmasInHull so further support can be offered.
Kathryn Shillito, HullBID City Centre Manager said; “It’s important that we all work together to attract visitors and shoppers to Hull city centre as there is lots going on in the run up to Christmas. Often people are not aware of multitude of activity and this website was created to be informative and interactive to encourage people to shop locally and spend more time in the city centre.”
