Elevating Ripon BID's Success with huq Reports
How Ripon BID used huq Reports to measure visitor behaviour, prove event impact and strengthen tourism and local-economy decision-making.
The Challenge
Ripon BID wanted to position the city as more than a day-trip destination and demonstrate how its tourism, event and local-business campaigns changed visitor behaviour. Its small team relied on online analytics and manual surveys, which could not provide a complete or scalable view of footfall, visitor origins or campaign impact.

Ripon BID used huq Reports to measure visitor behaviour, prove event impact and strengthen tourism and local-economy decision-making.
huq Reports provided Ripon BID with regular insight into footfall, visitor patterns and hotspot locations. The reporting gave the team a clearer understanding of visitor behaviour and helped it evaluate tourism campaigns, local events and initiatives supporting businesses across the city.
Case study highlights
- Data-driven marketing: Accurate visitor evidence supported better-informed campaign and event decisions.
- Faster reporting: Ready-to-use monthly and quarterly insight replaced approximately five weeks of manual data gathering.
- Stronger stakeholder communication: The BID could share credible results with its board, local businesses and other stakeholders.
- Continual improvement: Visitor evidence helped the team plan future initiatives and build on successful projects.
“Now I can load insights from the huq monthly and quarterly reports straight onto our website and monthly newsletter.”
By making the effect of Ripon BID’s work easier to measure and communicate, huq Reports helped the team validate successful activity and plan future visitor-economy initiatives with greater confidence.
