I’ve already met with the planning department about installing a digital screen and they are receptive to the idea. I have also tried rewording my online posts to make personal recommendations, such as “what works for me…” Most notably I have leafletted to B&Bs and local camping grounds about my welcome hampers and have a great response. Orders came in worth £300, just in the first weekend! This has helped build a relationship with the camping grounds and I’m setting up a regular delivery service to their visitors.
