Opt-in membership is available to businesses that either exist out-with the catchment area of Nairn BID, or whose property’s rateable value lies below the £1000 threshold, but still wish to support the BID and receive most of the benefits that members do. As Nairn BID exists for the improvement of Nairn as a whole then supporting the BID can be a valuable way of saying to your customers that you as a business are contributing to making Nairn a better place.
Opt-in members receive the same benefits as other members, they just don’t have the voting rights that levy area businesses do when it comes to the renewal ballot for the BID. For the five year business plan which outlines the main areas of spending and objectives of Nairn BID, please click here.
They can apply for free stalls at our events and markets, benefit from free marketing and promotion (website listing, social media sharing and member of the month), and attend our meetings, business workshops and networking events.
Nairn BID organises street markets along the High Street several times a year. The BID also runs Taste of Nairn, Wheels of Nairn and the Countdown to Christmas events.
If you think your business would benefit by being part of the BID and you would like to join, please fill in our application form. You can also send us a photograph and listing wording for the VisitNairn website.
Opt-in membership starts from £125 a year. Membership runs for our financial year from 1st October to 30th September. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch – office@nairnconnects.com
A NEW vehicle show which is expected to attract around 100 vehicles to a Highland town has attracted a sponsor with the organisation behind the event promoting other opportunities to get involved.
Wheels of Nairn which will take place in Nairn this September is being sponsored by Hangar96 which provides prestige classic car and motorcycle storage in the region.
The event which will be staged at The Links in the seaside town is organised by Nairn BID with support from the town’s Rotary Club and is open to classic and modern vehicles.
Nairn BID manager, Janis Maclean said she was thrilled to have a title sponsor: “This is a new event for BID to be organising and we are delighted that so early on in the preparations we have been able to attract a title sponsor and one which is so relevant to the event. We are delighted to have Hangar96 on board and thank the company for its support.”
Janis added: “We do have other sponsorship opportunities available at a very good cost. We are aiming to attract 100 vehicles to The Links and of course a crowd of spectators so it is a great opportunity to promote your business.”
Nairn BID recently launched its event calendar for the next six months which includes a series of events including the return of Taste of Nairn, a three-day food and drink festival.
