A Taste of Redcar and Cleveland Business Sign Up

Enjoy a Taste of Redcar and Cleveland is a new, repeating campaign designed to showcase the wide range of great food and drink establishments within our borough.


The campaign, led by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council, is designed to help support our hospitality businesses by boosting trade, attracting new customers, and keeping the consumers spending pound in Redcar and Cleveland by creating a period where consumers can dine out in a more affordable way at a time of the year they may normally not.

The first Enjoy a Taste of Redcar and Cleveland campaign took place from the 25th January to the 5th February 2023. It was reported that an additional £18,000 was spent in participating establishments during the campaign. 64% of business's agreed that the campaign increased visits from both new and exciting customers and 58.7% agreed that the campaign increased sales for their business.


When?

The next campaign will run from the 25th of October until the 5th November 2023, a time when businesses have told us is a quieter period and a drive to increase footfall is needed. This period ensures that we encompass two weekends, two pay dates and this edition will also capture October half term.


What do I have to do to take part?

Taking part in Enjoy a Taste of Redcar and Cleveland is quick, easy and is completely FREE. It is open to all dine-in hospitality venues (independent bars, cafes, bistros, restaurants, and hotels etc) within Redcar and Cleveland.

All we ask is that your business offers at least one offer/discount throughout the campaign period in line with the set price points of £5, £10, £15, £20, £25 and £30+ which is exclusive to Enjoy a Taste of Redcar and Cleveland and is not something that you regularly offer to your customers.

We will take care of the rest.

The set price points have been created to allow your business flexibility in your offer. This means there is a variety of ways you can get involved to suit your business.

Offer options could range from a coffee/cake combo, two main meals or a three-course meal for a set price, drinks packages or simply a set deduction from the final bill. You can offer as many offers as you want to within any of the price points.

Offers can be redeemed in a way that suits your business, too: Offers can be stated at time of booking, presented digitally at payment or you can have your offer automatically applied to all customers’ bills during the campaign period (we will even provide printed materials to slot into your menus / display in your establishment).


Benefits of taking part?

This is an exciting and beneficial opportunity for your business to be involved in.

As a result of taking part your business will benefit from more custom (customers will be attracted by the type of exclusive offer / discount you provide), FREE advertising throughout the Enjoy a Taste of Redcar and Cleveland campaign and inclusion on Redcar and Cleveland’s dedicated tourism platform www.enjoyredcarcleveland.co.uk, if not already.
