This Christmas we have again partnered with St Peters Quarter BID to deliver a Golden Ticket Prize Draw.
The aim of the prize draw is to drive footfall into the BID areas this Christmas as entries can only be submitted by physically posting them into one of the 20 post boxes located across the two BID areas. The tickets will be available to collect from many stores across the city.
The golden tickets allow the recipient FREE entry into the prize draw with the chance to win one of four prizes of £500 of shopping vouchers to be spent within businesses within the Cathedral Quarter and St Peters Quarter.
There is a likelihood of a winner being chosen that collected a ticket from your premises, choosing to allocate vouchers to spend in your store is also high; so please promote to get as many tickets submitted as you can. Also, for Golden Ticket Box Holders, whichever business collects the most tickets over the period will win x4 complimentary tickets for the Cathedral Quarter Ice Rink.
This is also a great opportunity for your own social media channels to inform your followers that you have Golden Tickets and that they can collect one from you!
When posting on your social media, if you also tag in the BID, we will share your post, therefore boosting the reach and awareness of the competition and your business.

The prize draw will run from Monday 4th November until Sunday 15th December with the winners being drawn in the new year.
We will also be heavily promoting the prize draw via our social media channels, the BID website and the Festive Derby Brochure where over 150,000 copies will be distributed to households around the Derby localities.
If you have any queries regarding the prize draw or are in need of more tickets to distribute, please contact the BID office on 01332 419053 or enquiries@derbycathedralquarter.co.uk
