Rye Bay Marketing Ltd are helping put Rye on map

Giant strides have been taken in promoting Rye Bay as one of the South East’s premier tourist destinations and efforts are being redoubled to build on this success.

That’s the message from Rye Bay Marketing Ltd (RBM) as it reviews its work in raising the profile of Rye and the surrounding areas to potential visitors and tourists across the UK.

Having taken over the production of  the Official Town Guide RBM demonstrated that Private Enterprise were able to achieve higher levels of engagement, more profit and lower costs than when it was produced by the local authority.

Rye Bay Marketing’s board of directors are all unpaid volunteers drawn from local businesses, the collaboration between the Chamber, Retail and the Hotel and Catering has been pivotal.

RBM are pleased to support and work with The Rye Partnership, Fletchers Theatre and Rye College to engage the students with local businesses to help with future skills and employment.

The group is always keen to hear from any other local businesses who want to help and would welcome input from those keen to boost the town’s future business prospects.

A spokesman for Rye Bay Marketing said: “We recognised the need to build links with Rye Town Council to make sure that all local stakeholders are pulling together for the benefit of Rye and the area.

“Every penny raised is ploughed directly back into promoting the area.

Rye Bay Marketing organised a 20-page guide to Rye and Rye Bay which was a complete edition of “ The Commuter magazine”, which had a 200,000 print-run and was distributed free of charge among Southeastern railway passengers in Kent, Essex and London.
