New Milford Website supports staycation boom

Two local Milford on Sea residents look set to put this seaside village on the map as the go-to staycation destination with the launch of a new website.

The website – visitmilfordonsea.co.uk – is to drive tourism to this lively village known for its events such as the Milford Music Festival and to boost the local economy that has suffered like many in the recent pandemic.

Behind the website are marketing consultants and Milford on Sea residents, Rachel Lewis and Linda Scott, who have created a new brand identity for the village as part of its drive to increase visitor numbers.

Rachel said: “The website is all about creating a one stop shop for visitors, newcomers and locals to get all the information they need about this amazing village, whilst giving it a fresh, modern look.”

The website will be supported by its own social media channels that will encourage user-generated content to market the village and will support local businesses by promoting its activities.

Linda added: “Now more than ever the demand for domestic holidays is soaring and the launch of our new website is timely in positioning Milford on Sea as a top choice in the UK holiday market.

“Our local businesses have suffered huge losses by the pandemic and a bumper season is needed to get them back on track.”
