Ballot Buddy

Remote, expert guidance for developing or renewing a BID

Developing or renewing a BID is not an easy thing to do. Many places already have established teams and significant support in their BID. They don’t need consultants to provide ‘on the ground’ support, but instead need remote support and expert technical guidance throughout the process.

Ballot Buddy provides:

  • A dedicated Account Manager to guide through each aspect of BID development/renewal, ensuring that you take the correct steps to maximise your chances of success.
  • Expert advice from the wider British BIDs team
  • Guidance throughout the entire development and ballot process
  • Templates of all of the documentation that will be required
  • Suite of case studies and examples from the industry
  • Free spaces on a ‘Planning & Managing a BID ballot’ course

Your dedicated Account Manager will guide you through each aspect of BID development/renewal, ensuring that you take the correct steps to maximise your chances of success.

British BIDs members also receive a 25% discount.

Ballot Buddy Feedback

"I have no concerns recommending Mel, British BIDs for help and support. She has helped me through thick and thin. I was not experienced with delivering a ballot and Mel showed me what to do and kept reminding me what had to be done. There were a lot of deadlines to meet and the local authority were reminded of their responsibilities. Mel attended virtual meetings with Local Authority representatives and our BID Board. I am fortunate that we won our ballot and having lived through one it would have been harder, impossible to secure without Mel's help."
Willow Lane BID Manager

"The help and support that Ballot Buddy/British BIDs gave us during our ballot was invaluable. They provided us with expert guidance and a personalised service that was second to none. We totally have confidence in the service they provide for us.”
