ABOUT THE PROMOTION

Double Bay sits at the heart of one of Australia’s most prestigious and connected local communities, linking Double Bay with Bondi Junction, Woollahra, Edgecliff, Bellevue Hill, Point Piper, Darling Point and Rushcutters Bay.

Together, these neighbouring suburbs offer an exceptional mix of dining, retail, wellness and lifestyle experiences.

​We are bringing together a carefully selected group of 12 local businesses to take part in the inaugural Live Well Round Double Bay Experience — a collaborative promotion designed to showcase the very best of the area while encouraging customers to explore, connect and enjoy more of what’s on offer.

HOW IT WORKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS

We’ve designed the Live Well in Double Bay Experience to be simple, collaborative and effective for everyone involved.

1. You will be Featured as One of 12 Local Businesses
Each participating business is included as part of a curated group of 12, showcased on the front page of the next edition and throughout a dedicated lift-out.


2. You Receive an Editorial Feature
You’ll receive a 150-word write-up with an image across pages 12–14, presenting your business in a natural, editorial style.

3. You Contribute to the Prize Experience
Each business contributes a prize (e.g. voucher, service or experience), forming part of a curated collection of local rewards.

4. Customers Visit and Enter In-Store
Customers are encouraged to visit participating businesses, scan a QR code and enter the draw in seconds.

USEFUL BACKGROUND INFORMATION

WHY COLLABORATION WORKS

Most local marketing falls into two categories — and both have limitations:-

1. Traditional Advertising - High visibility, but low trust.

Ads can reach a lot of people, but: -
They are often ignored
They rarely lead to immediate action

They compete with hundreds of other messages
 

People don’t act on ads - they act on recommendations.

2. Simple Networking - Good relationships, but limited results.
Networking builds trust, but: -

There’s no structure
Referrals are inconsistent
Opportunities are often missed


Good intention - but no system to generate reliable results.

3. Collaborative Marketing - the best of both — without the weaknesses
Our model combines: -

The visibility of advertising
The trust that's built on networking
A structured system that drives results


WHY IT'S MORE EFFECTIVE: -
​

1. Multiple Touchpoints - Print + directory + QR + conversations + referrals
People see you more than once

2. Shared Trust - You’re part of a group of trusted local businesses
Credibility increases immediately

3. Active Support - Members don’t just list - they collaborate
Referrals and support become natural

4. Better Quality Referred Customers: -

Trust you faster
Decide quicker
Stay longer

5. Costs are Shared Across the Network - Instead of paying alone:
You benefit from shared promotion and visibility

6. Local Focus - Designed specifically for: -
Double Bay and the Eastern Suburbs
More relevant, better engagement and stronger results​​
​Be part of a growing group of local businesses who:
Support each other
Refer each other
​Grow together

BUT ISN'T SOCIAL MEDIA QUICKER AND EASIER?

YES - IT CAN BE
Social media is quick to use, easy to access, and can be effective in the short term. But for many local businesses, results are inconsistent. Posts are often seen by only a small percentage of followers, and visibility can disappear within hours unless you keep posting or pay to boost content.

THAT'S WHERE THE CHALLENGE LIES
Social media relies on constant effort and repetition - and even then, each business is largely promoting itself in isolation, often to the same audience, with little lasting impact.

COLLABORATIVE MARKETING WORKS DIFFERENTLY
Instead of relying on one channel, your business becomes part of a broader local system — combining print, digital visibility and real-world connections. More importantly, you are supported by other trusted businesses who help extend your reach through referrals, recommendations and shared opportunities.

THE RESULT IS NOT JUST VISIBILITY - IT'S REINFORCEMENT
People see you, hear about you, and are recommended to you - this builds trust and leads to better outcomes over time.
Social media still has a role to play - but when combined with a collaborative local platform, it becomes far more effective.
