Monday June 29 is #IAMOPEN day, when we will be putting heroic local businesses firmly in the spotlight, using all our resources to help local shops and services tell their communities they’re back in business.
On Monday next week, stories of local businesses bouncing back will be headline news and we’re here to help you get your message out.
This has been an unprecedented time for everyone, and its impact is being felt across everyone’s lives, no matter who you are, where you are, or what you do.
We know some of those most affected is the local business community, and we want to help you in any way we can.
You’re the lifeblood of our towns and cities, both as service providers and employers, and we must do all we can to support you.
Each week thousands of local people read our website and social media platforms to find out about the important things happening close to them and we are determined to help boost the local economy so communities can get back to business.
We’re right behind you, helping you all the way.
To start with, our news websites and digital channels will host a twitter ‘power hour’ on Monday 29 June - an hour dedicated to supporting local businesses.
Join us for a Twitter takeover between 2 and 3pm and we’ll retweet who you are and what you do to our thousands of followers for free.
We will also be using all our resources and offering a host of free and added value services to help get your business back on track.
This includes exclusive marketing advice, offers, networking and participation in future Reach #IAmOpen events.
We want to see your business up and running and thriving as soon as possible - and we're here to help all the way.
