BID Partnership

Also known as: Business Improvement District collaboration

A collaboration with local BIDs to unlock venues, share footfall data, and co-promote activations. Enhances trust and measurement for local-focused campaigns.

Full Definition

BIDs are business-led bodies focused on footfall and economic vitality. They know space availability, run sensors, and have comms reach. Partnering accelerates access, trust, and measurement — especially for first-time brands in an area.

Why It Matters

BID-backed routes convert faster (warm intros), measure better (shared baselines), and travel further (co-marketing).

How Negotiables Uses This

Negotiables aligns with Birmingham & West Midlands & UK BIDs to source venues, benchmark footfall, and spotlight outcomes. Contributions flow into the Neighbourhood Fund for visible neighbourhood benefit.

Real-World Examples

Trail promoted via BID newsletter → footfall sensor lift + retail mentions.

BID introduces landlords with vacant space for temporary use.

BID vs council?

BIDs are business-funded and footfall-focused; councils are broader with longer cycles. BIDs move faster for activations.
