Let's Dream Bigger for the Berwickshire Coast!
Eyemouth, Scotland, United Kingdom
Aim
To showcase our amazing communities, towns and villages and the great, unique products that we have to offer everyone!
The time is now!
We as a community have been incredibility lucky in obtaining funding from Forth FLAG for the Visit Berwickshire Coast community project in which we have received funding for a new website, promotional videos, leaflets, exhibition materials, and a Coastal Community Development Officer for two years.
Unfortunately, paid advertising and attendance at exhibitions didn’t meet the funding criteria. However, such activity would add value to the project and enhance our exposure considerably. Therefore, we are looking to raise money to give us more opportunities to exhibit at events and gain more exposure for the our stunning coastline. The opportunity is now!
What we will do with the money
With the money, we will firstly exhibit at the VisitScotland EXPO this April. The previous EXPO being attended by nearly 600 buyers, exhibiting will be highly valuable for attracting business to the area and increasing destination awareness. Any additional money raised will go to the promotion of the campaigns highlighting our beautiful coastline as well as maintaining and sustaining the materials created.
Why now?
With the Year of Coasts & Waters 2020 taking place next year, the ongoing See South Scotland campaign managed by VisitScotland, the upcoming Scottish Borders and Midlothian Visitor App developed by MBTAG and the developing Scottish Borders tourism strategy by the Scottish Borders Tourism Partnership, there is no better time than now to latch onto these campaigns and make the Berwickshire Coast a favourite destination.
At the moment the project is set to end in June 2020. Whilst the brand and materials will continue on, now is the time we can make the most impact!
Why donate?
Visit Berwickshire Coast is a community project which intends to increase footfall and visitor spend through destination marketing in turn adding value to the local economy. Through the project we will also help train the local workforce. We appreciate all the support to date and hope that you will be able to support the campaign and get involved!
We hope that you can donate as little or as much as you can to help us in the campaign to show everyone all that the Berwickshire Coast has to offer!
