Advertising. It's a word that many businesses hate. Well, we're right there with you, we hate it too! You've probably tried different forms of advertising and found that nothing really works.

Here at thebestof bury, things are a much different story - we don't advertise your business (hence why we don't like that word!), we will actively promote it instead. And we're not just some faceless company where you're a number and a not a name.

We can promote your business in so many different ways and here's just 10 reasons why should consider speaking to us:

1) Online Feature - we'll write a comprehensive online feature that'll be optimised for Google searches in different categories. It acts as a mini website that has all the information that your potential customers need.

2) Review Postcards - it's true that what your customers say about you is far more powerful than anything you could say about yourself. That's why we provide you with review postcards to collect comments from your customers. You can even opt for dual branded postcards too.

3) "Word of Mouth" Networking - we'll work our socks off to shout about your business wherever we can. One of the best ways to do this is by attending our BIG Bury Business Expo (twice yearly), our "Evening with thebestof" events and our regular "Getting the most from your membership" meetings.

4) Mix 'n' Match - We're always mindful of other businesses in our network that would have a natural synergy with yours. We'll put you in touch for mutual benefit and expand your own sphere of contacts.

5) Use of our logo and stickers - thebestof is synonymous with only the best recommended businesses in Bury. Using our branding gives your business that extra bit of kudos and credibility, which is so important in an increasingly competitive business world.

6) Mobile website and app - It's amazing how many people use their smartphones to access local information on the move. Our mobile website is eye-catching and really easy to use, so you won't be missing out on potential business if your customers aren't sat in front of a computer!

7) Blogging - Blogging is a great way to tell your customers about your products and services. Blog posts appear high up on Google searches and really position you as an expert in your field.

8) Social media - Let's face it, how many people do you know who aren't on Twitter or Facebook these days? Like it or not, social media is where the people are, so we will promote your business via our accounts - pretty powerful when you consider we've got thousands local people on there!

9) Online vouchers - people are getting much savvier with their cash and many turn to the internet to find discounts. When you join thebestof bury you can add as many special offer vouchers as you like.

10) The Handy Local Blue Book – this is a sleek and polished perfect bound book that's simply packed with recommended local businesses. We distribute this in a number of different places locally and pages are very competitively priced.
