News Item

Ringwood Loyalty Discount Scheme came to an end on December 31st 2009; thank you to every one for their support. Keep shopping locally in Ringwood.

News Item  NEW scheme coming soon:

Thank you for continuing to support the scheme to date, your feedback and comments.

TRADERS:

We have an exciting new scheme proposal for you to hear about and will be arranging a presentation to you by Steve Wylie of Savvy UK, who run successful Loyalty schemes in other locations, including Haslemere in Surrey – you can have a look at their web site www.haslemere.com to see how they are using the reward scheme.  Savvy’s web address is www.savvy-loyalty.co.uk/Home/Rewards_for_All.aspx

We would like as many of those who are keen to participate to attend the presentation, as without you there is no scheme!  So to help us organise this, perhaps you will indicate which of the following days/times are most suitable for you?

·         Wednesday 27th January at midday

·         Friday 29th January morning

·         Wednesday 3rd February afternoon

I hope to be able to arrange the presentation at one of our local venues in the town, perhaps The Star or Framptons, once numbers and a date is agreed, I will confirm.

Please let me know which date is most suitable? 

Regards

Deborah

Moves to improve Ringwood visitor centre

11:36am Thursday 30th April 2009

comment Comments (0)   Have your say »

MOVES are afoot to make Ringwood’s run-down visitor information centre the place to go to find out things about the town.

Jim Stride, the man behind the Daily Echo-backed Ringwood Loyalty Discount Scheme, was astounded to find the VIC, located in Meeting House Lane, only opens from 10am to 3.30pm on Wednesdays and Fridays with half-an-hour for lunch, and from 10am to 1pm on Saturdays.

Lyndhurst’s VIC is open 10am to 5pm seven days a week and Lymington’s from 10am to 4pm six days a week.

“Ringwood truly deserves a top class tourist information centre which carries out many more services than it currently does. It needs to be the information hub of Ringwood,” he said. “With an increase of about 30 per cent to 40 per cent of holidaymakers holidaying in the UK rather than travelling abroad, it strikes me that the tourist information centre is essential for Ringwood.

“The amount of foreigners choosing the UK will also be on the increase.”

He is talking to New Forest District Councils tourism chief Tony Climpson about the issues involved. Ringwood Tourism Group is being consulted about maximising the Ringwood/New Forest District Council link.

Ringwood School is being asked about the possibility of providing work experience for tourism students at the centre.

And he wants to form the New Forest Group to exchange information with other forest towns and villages in a bid to avoid community event clashes. In addition, the town will pilot a new visitor information website linked to the main district council site.

“The visitor information centre should be the first stop you make when you need to find out information about the area,” he said.

 “Ringwood Loyalty Coach Party Scheme”  A very special welcome to coaches coming into Ringwood.

In these difficult times we are looking at new ways of welcoming visitors into our Historical New Forest Market Town of Ringwood, Hampshire. One of our initiatives is to encourage coach parties to come into Ringwood. Traders have come up with very special welcomes such as “Wine Tasting”, “Welcome Treats” & “Special Coach Party Menus” etc. We have volunteers from the Ringwood Community who will meet and greet the coaches. Visitors will be given discount voucher for shops and Restaurants in Ringwood along with details of their special welcome etc. The re is a steady growing level of interest in this initiative and I am sure that the message will soon spread far and wide.

 Ringwood Loyalty Discount Scheme ...... making Ringwood your first choice!

Ringwood’s Traders and Businesses who have joined the Ringwood Loyalty Discount Scheme gathered in Ringwood High Street for a group photo to celebrate the launch of the Scheme on Monday 2nd March. Jim Stride ( Scheme originator) was joined by Desmond Swayne MP, The Mayor of Ringwood Brian Terry, Mike Lingham-Wilgoss and the ever so important Town coordinator of the RLDS Scheme Jemma Pipe of the “Naughty Corner”

The launch on Monday 2nd March will see many community representatives: Head Teacher of Ringwood School, Carnival & Pedal Car chiefs and many more along with Desmond Swayne MP, The Mayor of Ringwood Brian Terry, Mike Lingham-Wilgoss along with many participating Traders & Businesses. There will be a large representation from the “Bournemouth Echo” along with other media of all sorts.

As scheme originator my wish is that Ringwood as a whole benefits from this scheme and that new shop outlets are encouraged to set up in Ringwood. Ringwood will be a better place if everyone pulls together and supports their TOWN.

Jim Stride

Ringwood Loyalty Discount Scheme ...... making Ringwood your first choice! (supported By Desmond Swayne MP)

From March 2nd 2009 your can save money when you visit RINGWOOD with the Ringwood Loyalty Discount Scheme www.rlds.co.uk with 70 Traders and Businesses.

Ringwood Traders and Businesses have pulled together to form a new Loyalty Discount Scheme offering greater value to shoppers with a structured discounting system, making shopping in Ringwood your first choice.

A monthly discount voucher will be available in the “Bournemouth Echo” in the New Forest Section (on MARCH 2nd & 4th plus many dates throughout the year ) and from “Ringwood Focus Magazine”  & downloadable from the website
www.rlds.co.uk along with Bournemouth Echo website along with a growing list of websites.

These monthly vouchers will provide discounts ranging from 5% - 20%. Just present your voucher either at the checkout in the participating stores, or after receiving a quotation from participating businesses, to receive your discount. Retain this voucher until it expires; as you can re-use it as many times as you wish, then look out for the new voucher.

This scheme has been developed by Jim Stride and is run at NO COST to Traders and Businesses.

I have gained the much needed voluntary support and help from Jemma Pipe of the “Naughty Corner” in Ringwood (my scheme coordinator)

A question asked many times is “why have you created this scheme” and “What’s in it for you?”  My answer: “I would like to see Ringwood Town thrive rather than become a ghost town, let’s keep TRADE LOCAL and let’s give existing TRADERS the message that we are behind our Town and send out a message to any potential traders of Ringwood that our town is a very good place to set up in”. “Let’s see if we can fill the empty shops of Ringwood by the end of 2009. “Less DOOM & GLOOM and MORE POSITIVE SUPPORT for Ringwood Town”.

The Ringwood Loyalty Discount Scheme will run for all of 2009 and I shall review the need for running in 2010. I am hoping that Ringwood will be thriving by then.

Please join in the spirit of this Scheme, KEEP TRADE LOCAL and long may Ringwood Thrive.

Thank you to all that have helped with this scheme to date and a word of thanks to my understanding & tolerant wife Claire.
