Bristol Harbour Festival: A Local Marketing Opportunity

Living and running a business in the Bristol area offers the chance to observe interesting marketing approaches and some are particularly enjoyable to participate in. Take the recent Harbour Festival. Good use is made of local Internet marketing to promote this annual event. The Festival website is at www.bristolharbourfestival.co.uk and it also features prominently on www.visitbristol.co.uk.

One of the boats at the Festival was the Pride of Bristol and Hayes Parsons Ltd, a well known local insurance broker who specialise in marine insurance, entertained clients aboard. The company has been around since 1964. With extensive experience in commercial insurance, they provide impartial advice, a full claims service and keep fully up to date with market developments. Hayes Parsons Ltd are making use of Internet marketing and you can check out their website at www.hayesparsons.co.uk

The Pride of Bristol is an ex-Royal Naval Auxiliary Service vessel that is now owned by the Pride of Bristol Trust. Free educational trips are offered to underprivileged or special needs groups. Subsidised youth trips are also available and groups from such organisations as the Prince of Wales Trust, St Johns Cadets and Scouts have spent weekends or weeks learning all of the basic skills of seamanship, coastal pilotage, ship handling, helmsmanship and safety at sea, plus the more important skills of cooperation with others and pride in personal achievement.

The Pride of Bristol also have a web presence and you can find out more about how fundraising trips from Bristol Docks are organised to support their youth work by visiting www.prideofbristoltrust.co.uk
