GRAND DÉPART mEDIA covERAGEMedia coverage was overwhelmingly positive and at record levels for a Grand Départ of the Tour de France. Regionally, nationally and internationally it was highly favourable towards Yorkshire and over race weekend the coverage centred on the unprecedented crowd numbers, the landscapes and the way Yorkshire embraced the arrival of the Tour de France. Over the period from 1 January 2013 to 31 August 2014* it is estimated that £330m of free publicity for the event was generated from tens of thousands of articles and news items.
INTERNATIoNAL cYcLING Due to the overwhelming success of the event and the positive economic and social benefits generated, Welcome to Yorkshire and Amaury Sports Organisation (A.S.O.) supported by British Cycling are to create a strong, long lasting race on the international elite calendar and contribute to the cycling legacy for Yorkshire.

Most businesses offer good customer service. What can you do to make it great and help people leave with fantastic memories?
• Provide your team with the resources necessary to answer customer queries effectively. This could range from bus timetables to explaining the village fête happening in 2 days’ time
• Encourage and gather feedback. Listen to what your customers have to say and act on it!
• Encourage your staff to be your customers’ problem solvers and to go the extra mile to make their day run smoothly
• Be proactive – anticipate your guests’ needs before they ask you
• Invest in your staff and look into enrolling them into external customer service courses
Other creative ways you can delight your customers, include:
• Allowing guests to pre-order food deliveries prior to their arrival if using self-catering accommodation
• Training a few key members of staff on puncture repairs and/ or offer a complimentary bike cleaning service
• Provide your customers with a simple cycling related gift

TIP 4WORK TOGETHER
12
• Are there complementary businesses/events nearby that could enhance your own to provide a superior package for your customers? For example:
- Could you supply bike maintenance/hire for nearby hotels that cater for cyclists?
- Could you offer evening meals/packed lunches for nearby accommodation that cannot offer their own, such as local campsites?
• Get involved and work with local tourism and business groups in your area. Support your local groups and feedback ideas for possible ways to increase tourism in your area
• You can achieve economies of scale by promoting your business in partnership with others
• Your message will have far greater reach if several of you are promoting it
• The Grand Départ opened up the county of Yorkshire to people who had never heard of it before- the Tour de Yorkshire will see new visitors to the county, a lot of these first time visitors – you can make it easy for people to plan their first holiday here by working with other businesses to promote your village as a whole to them
13
Learn foreign phrases• You and your team may benefit from learning a few
simple sentences in different languages, including: - Welcome/Welcome to - Hello/Goodbye - How are you?
• Why not make your webpage internationally friendly by displaying your information in different languages?
• You could use the services of translators and language teachers to have your promotional literature translated or hire someone for a few hours to help train your staff in some key phrases. Go to http://industry.yorkshire.com to find out more
Food expectations• Although international guests will come to Yorkshire
to experience our traditional English food, it may be good for cafés, restaurants and bars to also offer international food options
• Why not host some internationally themed food days/nights to get in the Tour de Yorkshire spirit? Choose a country and decorate your café, bar or restaurant, then serve the traditional food from that country, play music and get dressed up
Make international visitors feel at home• International guests are less likely to be familiar with
the local towns, cities and roads in Yorkshire. On your business’s website, leaflets etc. make sure good, clear directions are available for international guests with distances in kilometres as well as miles.
THE TouR DE YoRKSHIRE IS AN INTERNATIoNAL cYcLE RAcE AND wILL ATTRAcT mANY vISIToRS FRom ovERSEAS.

YouR buSINESS mAY HAvE THE oPPoRTuNITY To wELcomE moRE INTERNATIoNAL vISIToRS THAN IN AN AvERAGE YEAR.
TIP 5INTERNATIONAL THINKING
14
• Although some international guests will be able to speak English fluently, others may not. It could be useful if there were some staff that could speak the basics of different languages
Accommodating international guests• Have universal chargers available for international
guests to borrow
• Why not produce your own town guide, which would make international guests feel excited about visiting the area? You could focus on the local attractions which would mean the most to visitors from overseas. Offer your international guests ways to pay in their own currency
15
Talk to your customersPlan what you want your staff to tell your customers and have a list of the key points, which might be:
• How far away the Tour de Yorkshire passes from your business
• What your opening days / times will be during the Tour de Yorkshire
• Where they can find out more information
E-shots
If you are sending regular emails out to your database you can include some factual information about the Tour de Yorkshire on here as a secondary message.
Website
Link back from your website to www.letouryorkshire.com to make sure your visitors can access relevant, up to date information on the race.
Posters
• Posters can be used to remind people of your opening hours etc. during the Tour de Yorkshire weekend. Please refer to brand guidelines.
• During the Tour de Yorkshire weekend, have posters up around your business advertising the next events locally to give people a reason to return later in the year
Branded goods
• You may wish to offer goods branded up with your company’s logo for your customers to take away with them – reminding them of you and encouraging them to return
TIP 6SHOUT ABOUT YOURSELF
16
The Tour de Yorkshire will generate a huge amount of media attention on Yorkshire.
Top tips for writing a press release• Do not overtly promote the product.
Remember a press release is a news story not an advert
• We suggest press releases are kept to one side of A4
• One of the most common problems is that the story is not strong enough for a press release, so think carefully and be honest with yourself – is the story worthy of a press release?
• Another common problem is that press releases can be boring and long winded
• Use everyday language and avoid any industry jargon.
• Nothing frustrates a journalist more than not being able to get hold of someone to discuss the press release with, so it should finish with a name, position, email, land line and mobile
Format of a good press release
Headline
Punchy, attractive and short - around six words is ideal, such as: Royal wedding is a blessing for local church.
Intro
Always put the story in the top line - make the intro short and snappy, and tell the entire story in 20-30 words. Phrase in such a way that the reader will want to read on and find out more.
Body
Go into more detail with key information such as headline figures and timescales etc. Then, importantly, introduce a quote. Use the standard journalistic style which is set out below.
Quote
Full name and position: John Smith, museum director, said:
Make the quote emotive and interesting. Try to avoid offering bland, obvious quotes. Keep the sentences short to makes it easier for the journalist to sub if necessary. Where possible offer a second quote (usually of endorsement) from a third party such as the local MP, a national body or Welcome to Yorkshire, as this gives credibility to the story.
More detail
Add more detail about what has led to the news item, what it includes and if necessary more background.
Sum up
If appropriate, end with website and contact details, i.e.
To find out more information visit www.website.com or call phone number.
Plan for sales, plan logistics• How will you get customers in and out – will you need
to change opening hours / start times?
• How will you get your employees in and out?
• Will you need extra staff to be working during the Tour de Yorkshire and if so how will you manage this?
• Will you need to increase orders and deliveries to cater for greater numbers or to deal with the disruption of road closures?
• Do you know when the anticipated surges in interest around the Tour de Yorkshire are likely to be? (see dates for your calendar at the end of the booklet)
• If you’re going to offer a specific package, have you worked out all the details of what you want to offer? Is there a minimum spend or booking period? What will customers get for their money? How does what you’re offering compare with the competition’s packages?

TIP 7BE RACE-READY
18
• Look at upselling / increasing your sales. For example - some visitors will leave early in the morning during the Tour de Yorkshire to stake out their favourite area by the road side. If you offer breakfasts open early, or at least offer a cold breakfast that can be pre-ordered the day before. When spectators take their place by the roadside they will not want to move away from it. Takeaway lunches/picnics will be very popular if there is nowhere to eat close by
19
• To encourage your customer to buy from you again, you and your team need to offer great customer service. Think of your business from the customer’s point of view and think of ways that you can enhance their experience. The smallest attention to detail may make a huge difference
• Promote the area to potential guests. Why else should they come to you? What else can they do in the area other than spend time at your business? If you are an accommodation provider you may be able to get guests to extend their stay if they are made aware of an event happening later in the week. You could also use what is happening in your area to encourage people to come back to you via your e-newsletter or by including it in advertising

TIP 8COME AGAIN
20
• Create packages with local businesses that complement your own. Time is becoming more and more precious and if you can compile packages for customers you can guide them through the best parts of your city/town/village at a competitive rate. Themed packages are very popular; for example you could offer food, wildlife or family orientated tours. Offering destinations this way also lends itself to tapping into niche markets which can be far more beneficial than the broad paintbrush approach that many businesses have. Whitby Goth Weekend is a great example of this
• I ntroduce a loyalty scheme. This doesn’t necessarily have to be offering a discount. Think of an incentive that could be unique to your business
• Don’t over charge! There will be a huge demand for accommodation during the Tour de Yorkshire and tourists may be willing to pay higher prices. However, visitors may not return or recommend Yorkshire if they feel they have not received value for money and you may receive negative PR
• Do you want to promote a special offer to encourage people to return after the Tour de Yorkshire? Decide what this will be now
Website
The world’s eyes will be on Yorkshire during the run-up to the Tour de Yorkshire. Making sure that your website is user friendly will improve your chances of taking bookings and reaching a wider audience.
Think about the audience that might be visiting your site and make sure it will answer any questions they might have. If you are cycle friendly make sure that your website highlights this.
On top of this, there is likely to be an increase in international traffic to your website too so you might want to think about having a multi-lingual site. Google Translate have a really simple, free plugin that you can install on your website that will make your site available in lots of different languages.
Also, if you are having themed packages or events around the 3 days of the Tour de Yorkshire, make sure these are listed on your site and, most importantly, easy to find.
Interactive Map
Our interactive map received 1.83 million views with over 60,000 click throughs to individual businesses. Pins on the map are £150 each. For more information email [email protected].
Social Media
Use Social Media to highlight all that your business is doing around the Tour de Yorkshire. Make sure you are using the correct hashtag - #TdY - and make sure your content is varied and is not just a constant sales message.
For instance, you might want to share some images that you have taken of the surrounding area – pictures are always popular with consumers and, on Facebook in particular, really stand out in a user’s timeline.
Work together with other local businesses and councils and with your local community to spread the word online about what is going on that will be of interest to potential visitors. So if you are an accommodation provider you might want to share special events that are going on in your area around the Tour de Yorkshire. Yorkshire-themed menus from local restaurants or good cycling routes near to your property. If you show, through your social media, that the location of your business is a real hive of activity for the Tour de Yorkshire, then you will attract more people to your business.
On top of all this, make sure you engage with @letouryorkshire and #TdY on twitter and letouryorkshire on Facebook so you can keep on top of any major announcements relating to the Tour de Yorkshire.

Cycle tourism is a growing market, with cyclists visiting destinations based on other cyclists’ recommendations. Make sure you give them every reason to recommend Yorkshire and to return.
There are a number of factors leading to an increase in cycling and cycle tourism:
• Greater awareness of the benefits of healthy living and exercise
• The success of British cyclists in the Olympics and Tour de France
• Steady improvements in road networks to cater for cyclists.

MAKE THE TOUR WORK FOR YOUR BUSINESS
25
Work with expertise and knowhow
Yorkshire is a smart place – our knowledge economy is particularly strong and we have a great deal to offer in terms of innovation, sport science, engineering, research and development, and event management.
Our universities and colleges offer a strong base for emerging businesses with a host of pioneering projects becoming commercial operations each year. There may well be opportunities for knowledge businesses to engage with the Tour de Yorkshire and benefit from the profile of the event. This could include research, trials, publishing and promoting papers and articles, associated with event delivery organisations...
LOCAL BUSINESS
Although there will be some lifting of restrictions, there will also be some fairly reasonable rules to follow to make sure whatever you do has a positive effect. Contact details for local authorities are available at the end of this booklet.
Food and drink, and other suppliesThe Tour de Yorkshire and the race itself will see thousands of spectators gathered along roads where there are usually few facilities, as well as in areas that are already well-served. There is an opportunity for food and drink operators to sell from their existing locations, as well as looking to create temporary or mobile outlets. However, this doesn’t mean there will be no restrictions. We want the spectators to have choice and value, and an organised approach is needed. There are a range of other supplies the spectators will need during their time at the event. Some will be freely available from existing outlets, others may need to be brought in. You will need to check with the relevant authorities.
AccommodationAccommodation will represent one of the major opportunities for the Tour de Yorkshire, as there will be thousands of spectators. Of course, many will be on day trips from the county and nearby. However a significant number will want to be able to stay in Yorkshire for a few nights – perhaps longer. We have many excellent hotel rooms and bed and breakfast facilities, as well as permanent camp and caravan sites.

With 9 helicopters following the race- Pennine Prospects took the opportunity to create a trail of land-art installations along the route of the race as it passed through the uplands of the South Pennines. The ambitious Fields of Vision project comprised 12 field-scale artworks created by a unique partnership between farmers and artists. www.pennineprospects.co.uk/projects-programmes/fields-of-vision
Think International
For the Tour de France many businesses saw an increase in overseas visitors and adapted to their needs by offering menus and websites in other languages and accepting other currencies.
What is a bike library?The concept of a Bike Library is simple - a location or mobile unit with a fleet of bikes which are available to loan, free of charge by children who wouldn’t normally have access to a bike. Bikes are donated by the public to the bike library and trained mechanics repair them to working order. These bikes can be used to partake in a range of activities to promote healthy living, social inclusion and to have fun!
How to become a Yorkshire Bank Bike LibraryThe Yorkshire Bank Bike Libraries Enterprise Fund has been developed to fund new Bike Libraries – which are looking to fill bike library gaps across the region, as well as to help develop existing bike libraries and similar social enterprises. The Enterprise Fund will offer financial and marketing assistance to not for profit agencies that want to run community projects (new or existing) via a network of Bike Libraries and community engagement activities.
Go to www.bikelibraries.co.uk/enterprise-fund to find out how to apply for funding, and other ways to be involved in the scheme.
How can you help?The new Bike Library scheme has an ambition to give every child in our county access to a bike.
We are asking the people of Yorkshire to donate their unloved and unwanted bikes at a Donation Station. Even if they are broken or a little worse for wear, we will repair and recycle all the bikes you donate, helping them to find a new home in the community.
Where to donateDonation stations will be popping up all over Yorkshire - for full details of your local drop off point visit www.bikelibraries.co.uk
What happens next?Bike Libraries will be opening across Yorkshire from Spring 2015 onwards. For more information on the Bike library scheme as well as where your local Donations Stations and Bike Libraries will be, keep checking www.bikelibraries.co.uk
