Advertising Opportunities

Cumbria Tourism offers affordable and effective marketing opportunities to members throughout the year. Whether you are an accommodation provider, attraction, restaurant, or retailer there is a Cumbria Tourism advertising campaign that can connect you with new customers.

We have an extensive menu of advertising options to suit your marketing requirements from major print publications such as our holiday guide (150k copies), attractions guide (420k copies) and food and drink guide (100k copies) or we can take you down the digital route with Golakes advertising, enewsletters (over 155k contacts) or social media marketing.

Alternatively, if you would rather that we put together a bespoke marketing package for you to promote something specific, please get in touch with the marketing team who can build a package to suit your budget.

Digitial Marketing Bundles

The most effective campaigns are fully integrated on different platforms, and from feedback from our members we saw a need for marketing bundles to give you an opportunity to save money by buying into several forms of advertising as a package.

You can feature in our effective and successful Enewsletter campaigns, maximise your exposure on Golakes.co.uk with targeted banner advertising, and communicate with our ever increasing social media audience by booking a digital marketing bundle in advance and save money!

If one of our bundles doesn’t fit your marketing budget contact the web team website@cumbriatourism.org and they will design an exclusive package around your requirements.
