As part of your membership, we will always try and include partners and members in as many round-up and themed blogs as we can. We also prioritise the order of businesses included based on their level of membership. 

We also offer the opportunity to benefit from a ‘sponsored blog’ – a blog post dedicated entirely to your attraction, business, or event that gives you additional coverage on the site. The package also includes a feature in the monthly enews and paid social media advertising to the audiences you want to reach. 

The blog is an extremely important way of making sure people hear about you or your event, driving traffic to your own website and ultimately purchasing tickets. 

The Visit Bristol blog regularly receives around 50k views a month and the Visit Bath blog receives around 90k views per month.

Case study: Berkeley Castle

One example of a sponsored post was one promoting an exhibition: Spotlight on: Berkeley Castle Uncovered. From when it was published to when the exhibition ended, the post had 1,726 views and was credited with part of the exhibition's success: 

"The exhibition has been really well attended and I’m sure Visit Bristol’s marketing has helped. I looked at our analytics yesterday and Visit Bristol are streets ahead of all my other advertisers – thanks for all your hard work.  It was great to see that the exhibition featured on your weekly newsletter yesterday." - Jackie Pennington, Operations Manager at Berkeley Castle 

If you would like to go ahead with a sponsored blog post, we only need a month or so's notice, but the further in advance you register your interest with us, the better, so we can pencil you in to our content calendar. 

We would need from you: 

  • Suggested copy of around 750 words (we find that blogs work best in the form of a ‘Top 10 things not to miss’ style) 
  • High-res landscape images to accompany the blog 

Please get in touch to discuss options.
