Bookings galore from secret Carmarthenshire business

The County Council invests tourism budget in public relations in order to gain the County coverage in England and works with many businesses to do this. Very often the publicity can bring instant trade and we received this thank you message two weeks ago from a very happy "partner" who has benefited greatly in the last two months from coverage we gained for them in two of the major UK newspapers. (they have asked not to be named)

Thank you so much for the coverage in The Guardian and Sunday Times. We have taken a number of bookings for weekends already and a couple of weeks in the summer  and I know the weekend papers tend to get read throughout the week so I am hopeful of a few more in the short term! The hits on our website increased 4 times on our average weekend rate so it was a great success. Thank you again for your hard work and for supporting us.

If you have any new products or ideas, please email Sarah and Rhys at the County Council via marketing@carmarthenshire.gov.uk. If you want an off the wall second opinion or help in getting five workable PR ideas together for your business, please email our English-thinking team member Huw Parsons to organise a face to face brainstorm at the same address.
