Maximising Christmas trade is so important for our businesses. Each year we produce and deliver 30,000 Christmas brochures to local households reminding them why they should visit Putney town centre for all their Christmas needs. The distribution area covers all of Putney, into Wandsworth, Fulham and Barnes.

The brochure celebrates all of Putney’s businesses but there is also an option to pay for an advert. These are finalised by the end of September to enable the brochure to be delivered during November.

Good Christmas trade is crucial for most businesses. Each year we have a focused marketing campaign to encourage people into Putney town centre to spend their time and money. This involves promoting in local and national media aswell as organising various activities across the Christmas period. In 2023 we will have the ice sculpture trail aswell as Luna Loves Christmas window displays.

We send out regular press releases and will advertise Putney as a great place to visit in local and London press. We regularly promote in Wandsworth Council’s Brightside magazine, Primary Times, and Time & Leisure. In 2023 we will be advertising in Time Out and Living In magazine and in 2022 we had an editorial in the Evening Standard Christmas special.

We have been asked to talk on BBC Radio London, BBC Radio 4 and RiversideRadio on either specific projects or because they want a Putney take on a topic. Our reuseable cups also saw us on BBC London News, ITV news, Sky news and This is London.
