Look out for a new-look Thame Town Guide

THAME Town Council is to take in house the production of the official town guide, will which contain much more useful information for residents new and existing, funded by local advertising.

Previously the more limited town guide was produced by a publishing company who profited from its production, even though the town council had to spend time producing copy and finding pictures.

Thame’s Market Town Coordinator, Becky Reid, who will be responsible for producing the guid, said: “By having control over the lay out of the guide we will ensure that information (and where relevant adverts) will be placed next to relevant editorial, ensuring targeted exposure for business. By ensuring that customers find out about what is available in Thame, they are less likely to make their way to other destinations to meet their needs. If we can provide this information to them and encourage additional trips to Thame, then the town as a whole will benefit from the inevitable linked shopping trips that will occur, keeping our high street vibrant.”
