    The Blackburn Gingerbread Christmas Trail

    =
    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.
    Uwais
    Utilita Energy Hub
    =
    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.
    Julie Sheppard
    Manager at Mad Hatters Tea Room
    =
    I think the response to the BID's trails has been great! Children have been coming in with their parents to look at the sculpture, taking pictures and looking around the store while they're here.
    Natalie
    Manager at Blackburn Primark
    =
    Your BID member update emails were so helpful all the way through the lockdown and after.
    Victoria O'Brien
    General Manager of Specsavers
    =
    “We’ve had lots of interest from families with trail leaflets who have been coming in, and buying things when they come in. They’re going around the trail and they’ve told us about the models at the other locations. They’re really impressed with the sculpture. The kids are loving it! It’s really good for us. Customers come back again to see what else we’ve got.”
