Picture Perfect: free collaborative marketing
Imagine if every visitor recommended your business to at least one other person?
Word-of-mouth recommendations are still incredibly powerful. We're fortunate: a huge proportion of our visitors would happily recommend our area or would love to return themselves.
We can use this loyalty to attract more visitors, more bookings, more income. The Picture Perfect mini marketing campaign can help you do this.
Picture Perfect is open to any visitor-facing business including accommodation, attractions, activity providers, shops & galleries, cafes & pubs in North Yorkshire.

In case we haven't met before I'm Susan Briggs, a tourism marketing specialist based in the Yorkshire Dales.
I've worked with many different types of tourism and hospitality, large and small, urban, rural and coastal. Since moving back to Yorkshire from London 20+ years' ago, I now try to focus on working with small-medium sized independent businesses.
I hold a Chartered Institute of Marketing Diploma, but have also had plenty of grass-roots' experience (including running my own holiday cottage and bed and breakfast in the past - so I know it's hard work!) so am able to combine a strategic approach with practical actions.

I often run marketing training workshops, usually between September - April. These are offered online and in-person.
