FREE Marketing for Milton Keynes companies taking part in 'Eat Out To Help Out'

MKFM has announced a number of FREE marketing initiatives for local restaurants, cafes, pubs and more who are taking part in the government's 'Eat Out To Help Out' initiative.

In the month of August, anyone in Milton Keynes can get 50% off a meal (food and non-alcoholic drinks) Monday to Wednesday at participating restaurants - with a maximum discount of £10 per person.

There is no limit to the number of 50% off meals you can have during August.

And we know it's a tough time for businesses locally, so we are boosting the initiative in Milton Keynes with some FREE marketing for companies taking part.

We're offering all local businesses taking part in 'Eat Out to Help Out' completely FREE of charge:

- FREE Coverage in our 'Eat Out to Help Out' guide on MKFM.COM which will be regularly shared on our social media channels. MKFM.COM is one of the biggest and busiest websites in Milton Keynes and has a massive social media following on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

- FREE Coverage on air in our hourly 'Eat Out to Help Out' guide. Each hour we will be featuring one local business on air who are taking part in the scheme. MKFM broadcasts on FM, DAB Digital Radio and online across Milton Keynes.

You can sign up for your FREE marketing at the bottom of this page.

If your business is also intending to pass on the VAT cut to customers, we will also mention this on our article and on-air mentions. However, this is not mandatory to be eligible for the free coverage.
