“Time Out’s audience has its fi nger on the pulse when it
comes to making the most of London” Ray Jones, UK business
development manager, Time Out T
ime Out’s UK business devel- opment manager Ray Jones has launched the Time Out Card, offering a range of bene- fi ts, offers and discounts across
London’s cultural and dining attractions. Attractions and venues that part- ner with the Time Out Card will create exclusive benefi ts for cardholders and will provide discounts in line with other schemes that they operate. In turn, the card will give businesses access to “mil- lions of socially engaged Londoners.” The card will cost £49 a year. “Time Out’s audience has its fi nger on the pulse when it comes to the best places to eat, drink and make the most of their free time in London,” says Jones. “By signing up to the Time Out Card,
partners will benefi t from the most socially active customer base in the coun- try, and will reach a hugely relevant pool of Londoners who love to eat out and dis- cover more about the capital.” Businesses already signed up to the scheme include Merlin, Busuba Eathai, Paradise Wildlife Park, Battersea Park Children's Zoo, the Houses of Parliament, The Ritz, Dollar Grill, Grand Union and Martinis. The card will also offer savings on West End shows and special offers at the Italian Cultural Institute (ICI) and British Film Institute (BFI).
