Olympics Guide

Background

We have launched a simple guide to the Olympics together with maps, directions, venues, transport links to all the sporting locations for both the main event and the big screens and para-olympics

These cover all the main towns and outlying areas hosting the events.

There are a few opportunities to advertise in and around pages on the web guide on Business Biscotti in strategic places. These are very limited and available on a first come first served basis.  These will be sold for the DURATION of the campaign ending August 30th 2012.

As you are already involved with Business Biscotti we would like to offer this opportunity to you first before we launch to other businesses in the hospitality sector.

Opportunity

You can benefit from the existing huge traffic generated to the Business Biscotti web site however this will increase considerably due to:

• New groups opening across the UK in the next 6 months (planned coverage across the UK for 2012 Olympics)
• Viral Marketing on all social media platforms
• Increased SEO on the web site
• Interest generated by visitors to Business Biscotti from UK and abroad due to the Olympics
