Your BID member update emails were so helpful all the way through the lockdown and after.

All the engagement as a result of the trails has been absolutely amazing. We have doubled our footfall over the week. We can see all the smiles on the children's faces and we're definitely going to get involved in anything organised by Blackburn BID in the future.

The events - like the Festival of Making and Pride - bring in a lot of new customers. The sand trail did well for us too. A lot of people stopped to take photos and then come in for a coffee. We have had quite a few people come back after too.

We really welcome and value the support Blackburn BID provides to the library as a town centre value. The BID led installations, campaigns, promotions are always fun, exciting and importantly bring in footfall. I know the promotional activity is just one element of your overall work and we're grateful for everything else the BID contributes to.

We had a really good event and lots of footfall. I feel the events will create us some new regular visitors, as a few did stay to play. We also had some who said they didn't know what we did but will be back, which is amazing! All in all the event was brilliant and we will definitely be more happy to take part in this kind of event again.
