We offer Food Friday posts on our Visit Bath and Visit Bristol consumer channels. Find out more about this award-nominated weekly campaign and how you can get involved.
What is Food Friday?
Food Friday is a weekly feature across our consumer social media channels, featuring up to five of your favourite food and drink places in the city and surrounding area. It is a great chance to promote your business or event at the same time. We offer Food Fridays to Visit West members and some non-members, although members will always have priority.
How do they work?
You would send us a recent image of you or one of the team, and a couple of lines about your business/event and your role, along with your top five favourite food and drink venues in Bath/Bristol, with one line about why you've chosen each venue and one image for each (these can be your own or we can source stock images and credit). You are welcome to include your own business/event offering as one of the choices as well. This is then published as a 'carousel' post on the Visit Bath/Bristol Facebook & Instagram channels.
You are also very welcome to record a video version of your Food Friday feature if you'd prefer to. This can either be filmed by you in-house, or, if required, one of our team can arrange a convenient time to visit your business and record your Food Friday in-person.
If possible, we'd recommend filming your Food Friday feature, as video content generally tends to perform better in terms of engagement statistics on social media platforms. We also publish all video Food Fridays on our Visit Bristol and Visit Bath TikTok accounts, allowing your business to reach an even wider audience.
The Food Friday can also be themed e.g. favourite restaurants, coffee shops, bars. It could aslo be themed around an event such as Christmas or Valentine's Day.
