Cheltenham BID and Visit Cheltenham have partnered to launch a new app promoting local businesses, events and attractions to visitors and residents. All BID zone businesses and Marketing Cheltenham / Visit Cheltenham members are entitled to a free listing.
The Discover App is free to download on all smartphones and promises to help people get the most out of Cheltenham whether here for a visit or rediscovering their hometown. It works alongside the town’s official guide at visitcheltenham.com to showcase the array of businesses and attractions in the town.
The app will promote your business, for free, to people who are looking for the service you provide. The app can be personalised for the user and is unbiased so, whether you are a small independent business or a retail giant, you will be equally displayed on the Discover App.
Belinda Hunt, operations manager at Cheltenham BID, said: “We are excited about the opportunities presented for businesses through the Discover App. Seeing all the independent businesses sitting alongside the national and international brands in one easily accessible place is fantastic. The app itself is very user friendly, whether you are a business updating your listing or a consumer looking for somewhere to visit in Cheltenham.”
Steve, Discover App Founder, said: “The Discover App works with over 12,000 businesses across over 60 locations throughout the UK, from Newquay to Bolton and Bude to Mansfield. We are delighted to be working with Cheltenham BID and Visit Cheltenham to help showcase their full festival programme and all the wonderful things to shop, eat and experience in Cheltenham.”
