Many local businesses support Bude Sea Pool simply to do just that, they ‘support’ it. The Pool couldn’t be where it is at without such a community. In a small reciprocal community such as Bude, promoting each other also brings more trade to the economy, encouraging people to visit and to buy locally.
By supporting Friends of Bude Sea Pool (FoBSP), local businesses gain the opportunity to advertise to FoBSP’s members, visitors, and a much wider audience. Business Sponsor listings are published in the annual handbook, displayed on noticeboards, and featured on the FoBSP website.
Additionally, Business Sponsors receive publicity on the charity’s social media channels and in our new town centre shop which combined have a fantastic reach to locals and visitors.
In the new year, Jodie, our Communications Manager, and her team of volunteers will be visiting local businesses to invite them to join or renew their sponsorship. The scheme runs annually from the middle of the year. Once sponsors confirm and pay, they provide us with their listings and advertisements, which are featured in the annual handbook published each year. This is then distributed to all Friends, either digitally or in hard copy and this year will be published on our website for all to see.
