1,000th pub cashes in with useyourlocal.com

Useyourlocal.com, the website famous for its unique service that gives consumers the convenience of having parcels delivered to their local pub, today announced that over 1,000 pubs have signed up to the business-boosting service.

Stuart Mills, founder of useyourlocal.com said: "We are absolutely delighted to have reached this milestone so soon after our launch. Useyourlocal.com is going from strength to strength as licensees discover the commercial benefits of being a member. We now have over 1,000 examples of pubs & clubs across the country that, as a result of joining useyourlocal.com, are better equipped to attract new and existing customers and prosper at the heart of their local community."

"Along the way, we have been hearing some great stories about how pubs are using their membership of useyourlocal.com to attract more customers - and for just £50 a year it must rank as the single, most effective way to help pubs generate additional footfall and sales."

The 1000th recruit to the scheme is The Distillers Pub in Fulham and the outlet is looking forward to the opportunity to offer the unique parcel collection service and to improve the way the pub is marketed to the local community.

Licensee Scott Illman said, "Joining useyourlocal.com is so easy. As well as being able to offer customers the parcel collection service, we can also take advantage of the new Samsung & FourFourTwo football site which shows fans where they can watch live televised matches and that will be a real added bonus."

"We're even linking our own website to our useyourlocal.com homepage so we can get all our customers to join us online - making it really easy for us to contact them with all the great things we've got going."
