Partnership and Promotion Opportunities 2017

Harrogate at Christmas offers a unique range of promotion opportunities for any local businesses wishing to attract more customers into our Town Centre during the busy pre-Christmas period.

In addition to supporting the general Christmas Lighting in the Town Centre, we offer bespoke lighting displays to promote your own business plus several other ways in which you can bring your own Christmas promotions to the attention of Harrogate residents and our many visitors.

We shall again publish a full colour press supplement in the Harrogate Advertiser series with around 100,000+ readers across the whole of the Harrogate District. All Partners will be included in a full website listing together with editorial and dedicated adverts for major Partners plus web displays, etc.

Radio advertising on StrayFM was very effective in 2016, so we shall plan a more extensive campaign in 2017, featuring our major Partners and the most generous shopping streets in the Town Centre.

The benefits offered in return for each level of partnership are ticked in the columns below, but these are flexible and negotiable to meet a Partner’s needs as far as practicable. These contributions are NOT subject to VAT as this is a not-for-profit event organised by the Harrogate at Christmas Group.
Please return your completed ‘Response Form’ as soon as possible. Invoices will not be sent until September 2017.
