Events and business listings
Local businesses have created listings to showcase their shops, pubs, restaurants and guesthouses to help raise awareness and drive footfall. Locations that hold events have listed the details which show the user a detailed guide of what is taking place at a granular level. We are talking pub quizzes, local bands in local pubs, wellness events, basically anything that visitors to Brixham could benefit from.
Visitors to Brixham can lookup where to watch the UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 final
Where to watch the UEFA Women’s Euro Final 2025 using Mapzest
As expected, there are lot of visitors unfamiliar with the area who are looking to watch the Lionesses take on Spain in the UEFA Women’s Euro final. Pubs and venues showing the match have created events on Mapzest to help visitors plan their day.
Mañana, a craft beer bar new to Brixham, created a Pre-Match breakfast and craft beer combo deal, to set supporters up for the day.
The Manor, Brixham’s oldest pub (possibly), listed their afternoon schedule comprising Pizza’s from 4pm by Grove Woods Pizza, football, then topped off by the amazing Dew Barf band.
Both taking advantage of a new platform to promote to visitors.
How does Mapzest differ to social platform’s for advertising?
Social platforms such as Instagram and Facebook work when marketing to local’s who follow the various pages, but tourists are often unaware of the businesses and venues and therefore unaware of their social channels. This is where Mapzest comes in, the tourist selects the map for their destination (in this case Brixham) and has instant access to all venues and events that have been created.
Local’s are also making use of the app, especially for easy access to local entertainment which can often be a little messy to track using other platforms.
Business uptake
We’re pleased with the uptake so far and the platform continues to grow. If you are a business that provides a service to Brixham and are not yet listed on Mapzest, get in touch here! We’d love to hear from you.
