Promoting your business on visit-dorset.com is more than just a way to advertise your business.
Shopping is an enjoyable and often essential part of any holiday to Dorset. Visitors love seeking out local products, buying food and drink supplies for their holiday and shopping purely for entertainment.
We have created a Shopping section on visit-dorset.com to promote shops big and small. From retail parks to farm shops and everything in-between.
Work with us and inspire visitors to come to your business and visit our town centres whilst on holiday. By working together we can help promote the Dorset retail industry and support the great British high street.
We want to work in partnership and collaborate with you to make your business more profitable.
