Sixty1a Design help host Scary Day for Standish Street shops!

Sixty1a Design Studio, a Burnley Companies client, helped to host a scary day for Standish Street shops to raise public awareness of the great range of shops which are just out of the main shopping area.

Standish Street has often struggled in the past with reduced footfall as the general public stick to the town centre area to do their shopping. The council has long been aware of this and are doing all they can to increase the profile of the street to bring more customers to the businesses. 

Standish Street shops however are by no means sitting back and expecting things to happen and become heavily involved in any sort of publicity, and yesterday was a hoot! With spooky shop displays and the majority of the staff members in the shops dressing up to give ghoulish giggles to shoppers and passers by. Sweet treats and a general feeling of fun were to be found up and down the street.

Nixie Edwards, a partner in Sixty1a Design Studios on the street, said: 

“We organised this event to help get a bit of much-needed public interest into Standish Street, as an integral part of the Burnley community and the point of entry for many into the Burnley town centre markets and shops. We feel it is important we keep Standish Street thriving and remain as such, while helping to achieve a sense of community and loyalty to the Burnley area.

“We had lots of competitions including ‘find the Standish Street witch’ and a colouring competition for children. It was a great success.”

Burnley Companies love to hear of our clients having such a good time promoting their businesses and will always help them to make their marketing ideas a success.
