Random Acts of Kindness

The Ilkley BID, in partnership with Your Ilkley Radio, has launched a campaign to spread joy and promote local businesses in Ilkley. The campaign, titled “Random Acts of Kindness,” involves surprising unsuspecting residents with free Ilkley Gift Cards during the month of September.

The campaign is a fun and engaging initiative aimed at promoting local businesses, encouraging footfall, and supporting the Ilkley businesses. By surprising residents and visitors to the town with free Ilkley Gift Cards, we hope to create a positive atmosphere and foster a sense of goodwill within the town.

Campaign Goals

Promote the Ilkley Gift Card: Increase awareness of the Ilkley Gift Card as a convenient and valuable way to support local businesses.
Encourage Footfall: Drive more people to shop and dine in Ilkley, boosting the local economy.
Support Businesses: Provide a direct benefit to local businesses by increasing sales and foot traffic.
