Discover Ilkley Business Podcasts

Ilkley BID teamed up with local radio station Rombalds Radio to create a new series of 10 short podcasts to promote the town and its business community.

Extracts of the podcasts were also played on the radio station to encourage people to the listen and the participating businesses were also able to use the content to embed into their own website if they wished.

This was a great opportunity to shout about the great things your business does and highlight any offers or promotions in the run up to Christmas.

You can view these online here: www.rombaldsradio.com/podcasts/discover-ilkley-business-focus and via smartphone podcast apps. The podcasts are also published on the Discover Ilkley homepage.
