FOUR DAYS AND COUNTING TO GREEN LIGHT FOR NEXT STAGE OF RETAIL RECOVERY

Dear Atherstone and district,

NON-ESSENTIAL shops in Atherstone and across North Warwickshire have been given the green light to cast off the chains of Covid-19 and get ready to retail in FOUR days time.

June 15 will be another important step along the way for deliverance from the lockdown measures forced on all walks of British life by the pandemic.

With the big day to the next stage of our retail recovery fast approaching, is your business missing out on getting in touch with thousands of potential customers who look to Atherstone Nub News for their information about an area rich in heritage and industrial history?

Nub News has been around for four months and in that time has attracted nearly 50,000 unique users and more than 163,000 page views with a

Facebook following approaching 1,500 people. Group wide we've passed the two million users mark and seven million page views. We have living through unprecedented times and so we have taken the decision to allow all Atherstone and North Warwickshire businesses and organisations to advertise on Atherstone Nub News for free. We already have a number of local businesses signed up to our Local Listing section which has been specially adapted for coronavirus. This will allow Atherstone and North Warwickshire businesses to tell the public "where they are at" in relation to the current crisis, whether they are still open, preparing a restart and what changes they have made to their service. We will promote these businesses and services in Atherstone Nub News articles and on social media while this crisis continues. We want to keep you, the people of Atherstone and district, informed and help the local businesses. Even if you're not open at the moment, we want you to use our platform to communicate with your customers – tell them what the future holds, how you're doing or even just how you miss them.
