Thinking about joining thebestof Eastbourne? It starts with a conversation about your business, what you’re already doing well and where we might be able to help. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach because different businesses need different levels of visibility, connections and marketing support.
Before talking about membership, I want to understand your business.
What do you do particularly well? Why do customers choose you? What reputation have you already built? And what would you like more local people to know about you?
thebestof Eastbourne works best with good local businesses that care about their customers, take pride in what they do and want to make more of the reputation they’ve earned.
You don’t need to arrive with a marketing plan or know exactly what you should be doing next. That’s part of what I can help with.
Good marketing doesn’t always mean starting something new.
You may already have great customer reviews, useful expertise, strong photographs, interesting stories, a new service or simply something customers value about your business that isn’t being communicated strongly enough.
We can look at what you already have and identify opportunities to make more of it.
For trades businesses, that can include making more of a reputation already built through Google, Checkatrade, TrustATrader and customer recommendations. You can see more about that in our Marketing Support for Eastbourne Trades guide.
You’ve built the reputation. Let’s make more of it.
Not every business needs the same level of support.
Some businesses simply want a trusted local presence and more opportunities for customers to find and understand what they do.
Others want me more actively involved, helping spot opportunities, develop content, strengthen visibility and make more of their marketing.
The aim is to find the level of support that makes sense for your business rather than squeeze you into something you don’t need.
If you want a better feel for how I approach local marketing, take a look at Local Marketing in Eastbourne and hear what existing members have to say.
If we both think there’s a good fit, we can start building your presence on thebestof Eastbourne.
That means understanding what makes your business worth recommending and making sure customers can see it.
Your business can then become part of a much wider local platform encompassing businesses, events, offers, articles, community organisations and useful local information.
Have a look around the Eastbourne Community Hub to see how those different parts are coming together.
Local business growth isn’t only about being found online.
Relationships matter too.
Through Business Boost Eastbourne, members have opportunities to meet other local business owners, build relationships, collaborate and recommend one another.
There’s no pressure to attend. It’s simply another opportunity available when it makes sense for you.
Getting your business onto thebestof Eastbourne isn’t the finished product.
As things happen in your business, tell me.
A new service. An offer. An event. A recent success. Something changing in your industry. Or simply one interesting problem you’ve solved for a customer recently.
Those conversations can uncover opportunities for articles, social content, additional promotion or improvements to the way your business is presented.
The easier it becomes for you to spot those opportunities and send them my way, the more we can make of what’s already happening in your business.
If you run a good local business and want to make more of what you’ve already built, let’s have a chat.
No complicated preparation. No marketing plan required.
Just tell me about your business and we’ll see whether thebestof Eastbourne is the right fit.
Let’s grow your business together.
