Scarlets offer Swansea Bay business big chance

Swansea Bay businesses wishing to hit the Llanelli market have a prime chance to do so over the next two or three months - especially if the enterprise has any hint of France.
With the Scarlets clinching a quarter-final place in European rugby union's Amlin Challenge Cup yesterday, it was today revealed that they'll play French outfit Toulon. The match will be in France on the (long) weekend of April 8-11.
So, if you're a French polisher based in or around Swansea, if you specialise in French food or if much of your wine stock is from the land of Ratatouille and Clouseau, make the connection with the Llanelli public by launching a few special offers.
Ads and editorials placed with Swansea Bay local media such as the Llanelli Star and http://www.llanellitown.com/ could pay dividends for modest outlay. If you need guidance, give me a shout on 07758 745 240.
I'd recommend avoiding the Toulon press - furniture polish is more easily available there, they're not too keen on food that's got a touch of the UK ... and their wine's considerably cheaper.

Llanelli Town could hook up with Media Master

Jonathan Williams, of community-based news-and-info platform www.llanellitown.com, noticed that Swansea Bay Media Master had blogged about his site.
"Perhaps we can add a link from our site to you?" he said.
That's a pleasurably open-minded approach. It's one which suggests a shared passion for the newspapers, magazines, broadcast channels and online resources which make up the Swansea Bay media.
More power to your elbow, Jonathan - I look forward to you feeding key info to the Media Master so I can keep all readers up to speed.
Incidentally, if and when Media Master gets a link from www.llanellitown.com, it'll join an eclectic collection of other linkees. Today's home page, for instrance, features buttons for Llanelli Town Council, all-Wales disability information service Capacitate Cymru and the Scarlets.
Other pages have links ranging from Llanelli Market fruit & veg beauty Seward's to unofficial and addictive fans' forum www.scarletfever.org.
It's a cross-fertilisation of information sources such as this which will help the grassroots media perform an increasingly important role in places such as Swansea, Neath, Port Talbot and Llanelli as the years progress.

Swansea Bay's micro-media merits support

Down Llanelli way there's a spirited attempt being made to provide a community-based online news and information service.
http://www.llanellitown.com/ is a social enterprise founded by enthusiasts who aim to help in the regeneration and continuing development of the Llanelli district by promoting the area in any way they can.
Eunydd Thomas, Jason Lovell and Jonathan Williams say: "We aim to work with local government and agencies to achieve this."
The Llanelli News button flashes through to a busy Scarlets-heavy blog, the Local News tab clicks straight through to the Llanelli Star's http://www.thisiscarmarthenshire.co.uk/ and the What's On button takes the reader through to a nicely presented listings service which will grow with time and support.
Advertising in the Business Directory is £120 for national companies and an encouraging £60 for local businesses. Small local business is offered an ad platform of £1.14/week.
It's got a long way to go, http://www.llanellitown.com/, but pin it on your favourites bar - all these small guys merit support because its they who are rebuilding super-local information supplies across the UK.
