Uniquely Nelson’s primary role is to promote the Nelson Central Business District (CBD) to encourage greater visitation, thereby increasing retail spend into the Nelson economy. Whilst retail remains the key focus, Uniquely Nelson also promotes the diversity of City businesses, services, arts & culture and hospitality. Uniquely Nelson has identified there are a number of drivers that bring people into the City; everything from employment to shopping, dining, being entertained, doing business and using professional and recreational services. Our challenge is to continue to encourage multiple reasons to visit the City, thus increasing the amount of time, and the amount of spend, in the City. On a business to business level, Uniquely Nelson works to develop and maintain close relationships with the significant organisations and key stakeholders influencing the Nelson retail/business environment, and recognizes its role to assist and support these. Uniquely Nelson is the ideal conduit to facilitate communications between the CBD retail/business community and other stakeholders. Uniquely Nelson has developed a range of communications tools including:

• Nelson City Guide – 60,000 copies are printed annually and distributed to Nelson City retailers, cafés, bars and other businesses in the City, at Nelson-Tasman i-sites, Nelson City Council and Nelson Airport. It’s also available at numerous accommodation providers, tourist attractions, i-sites and other public amenities throughout New Zealand.
• Uniquely Nelson website and business directory – www.uniquelynelson.co.nz
• Online Marketing - Uniquely Nelson has a comprehensive online marketing campaign in place including Facebook, Twitter and e-newsletters.

Make Labour Weekend A Quiet Riot At Nelson Arts Festival

Spring is in the air and Nelson Arts Festival is about to take over Whakatū, with Labour Weekend packed with theatre, live music, books, dance, film, art, free events and plenty of reasons to get out and make a long weekend of it.
Running from 22 October – 1 November, Aotearoa’s longest-running annual regional arts festival returns for its 32nd year, with JOY as an act of collective hope at the heart of the programme and an invitation to join its very own “quiet riot”.
“For us, a ‘quiet riot’ is about coming together and choosing joy. It might be a brilliant show, a conversation that stays with you, dancing with strangers or gathering on the beach at sunset. Labour Weekend is full of those moments, and we’d love people to come out and get amongst it,” says Artistic Director Janelle Bish.
