Team Up to Reach More Visitors
No business thrives in isolation. When you team up with others, you extend your visibility and invite a wider audience to discover you. By linking with complementary businesses, attractions, and experiences, you multiply your reach and make the whole town more attractive to visitors.
This isn’t about chasing numbers for their own sake. It’s about creating natural partnerships that make a visit to Lynton & Lynmouth richer, easier, and more memorable.
Why it Matters
Tourism Relies on Connections
Visitors rarely come to the area for just one thing — they want a mix of food, attractions, shops, and experiences.
Critical Mass
The more we link up, the more we build momentum together. This is how we make the PIE bigger — offering visitors Plenty to do, Interesting variety, and ensuring Everyone benefits.
Better, Not Busier
Working together encourages visitors to stay longer and spend more across the town, without needing to increase overall numbers.
Visibility Multiplies
Every partner has an audience. When you promote each other, your stories travel further than they ever could alone.
Think About It In Practice
Cafés & Restaurants
Pair with local attractions or shops for “ticket & treat” deals or co-branded menus.
Pubs & Inns
Host events with a local brewery, gin distiller, or live musician.
Attractions
Work with eateries to offer meal vouchers that encourage visitors to stay longer in town.
Retail Shops
Create bundles with local makers or run a “shop & snack” trail.
Experiences
Offer joint packages like “ramble & scone”, "swim & sip" or “walk & workshop.”
Accommodation
Leave welcome cards with offers from nearby cafés, shops, or attractions to help guests explore more locally.
The Difference it Makes
When local businesses team up, visitors naturally spend more time in town — and with more time comes more spending across cafés, shops, attractions, and places to stay. Partnerships also multiply your marketing reach, both online and offline, as each business introduces new audiences to the other.
This spirit of collaboration strengthens civic pride, showing locals and visitors alike that the town works together to offer something special. Most importantly, every partnership helps build our Critical Mass: plenty to do, interesting variety, and a sense that everyone benefits.
