Frequently
Asked Questions 

Hopefully these answers will give you a better understanding of what it will mean when you become a REEL business member.  

How does REEL compare to other marketing/ advertising options?

By focusing on local audiences and leveraging multiple traffic-driving strategies, you are provided with a targeted and measurable solution that can deliver results relatively quickly.

What is the BIG Launch?

Once the initial businesses are onboarded and set up on the platform, the BIG Launch campaign will begin. With partners, members, across social media, local press, and will also include a district wide leaflet distribution to over 40,000 homes and businesses across Bromsgrove, 

This is why it will pay dividends to join prior to the BIG Launch as the visibility will spike very high during that campaign, meaning more people discovering your business. 

DO you have to be based in Bromsgrove to be on the REEL Bromsgrove Directory? 

No.

Although many members are based in Bromsgrove District, it is not essential. 

The question asked should be: 'Would you benefit from promotion and awareness to people who live, work and visit Bromsgrove District?'

If yes, then it would pay to become a REEL Bromsgrove Business. 

Do you only market to Bromsgrove District?

To start with, yes.

 

Focusing efforts one district at a time is key to ensuring relevant and relatable REEL business are found by the platform users, meaning they are likely to return and remember your business.
