For Businesses

CORONAVIRUS – How we can help your business prepare now for a brighter future

It’s a tough time for everyone, especially if you’re running a hospitality business.

Here’s how we can support you now in planning for the return of customers when the pandemic is beaten:

1. For the duration of the Coronavirus restrictions, we will not charge a fee for enhanced listings (see below) on Petrolheads Welcome.
2. All current enhanced listings will be extended so that no renewal fees are payable until after the effects of the pandemic have become less severe in terms of commercial and travel freedom, etc.
3. We will continue to promote listed businesses, e.g. through our newsletters, social media, etc. in readiness for improved circumstances for businesses and customers alike.
4. We will be happy to include offers from businesses that are seeking to promote themselves and who contact us for help (e.g. selling items remotely that are usually reserved for visitors… such as cafes offering takeaway services instead of their usual sit-in custom). Our blogs & vlogs could be useful to you in this context.

Please contact us if you would like further information or help.

Let’s hope we are soon back on the road!
