Welcome to the New Exminster Business Directory

Today marks the official launch of the New Exminster Business Directory, a fresh and modern resource designed to showcase local businesses in Exminster, Devon. Based in the EX6 8 area, this directory builds on the existing listing presence found on sites such as Exeter.co.uk, but goes further—offering a more interactive, up‑to‑date and community‑focused solution

Why We Created It

Having lived and worked in the village for 15 plus years, we could see through our own experience that a place that is easy to find local business information would be very useful for the residents. This directory was created in response to growing demand from local business owners and community members.

The New Exminster Business Directory addresses those limitations by offering:

• Regularly updated business profiles with contact details, description, and testimonials.
• Enhanced search and filter tools so residents and visitors can quickly find what they need by category (e.g. trades, retail, services).
• A streamlined submission and listing process for local traders keen to raise their visibility.

Who It Is For

The directory is designed to serve three primary groups:

1. Local business owners in and around Exminster—whether you run a pub, a salon, a trades service, or retail outlet—looking for an easy way to promote your business to local customers.
2. Residents and visitors seeking trusted local services—from dentists and pharmacies to DJs and locksmiths.
3. Local organisations and community groups who wish to maintain visibility—such as parish councils, churches, clubs or charities.

How to Get Involved

Joining the directory is simple:

• Visit our website and complete a business submission form. Provide your business name, address, contact details, a short description, and optionally upload a logo or photo.
• Once submitted, your listing is reviewed by our local team to ensure accuracy and relevance.
• Approve a draft listing and choose your upgrade options (detailed below).
• Listings go live within 1–2 working days, and you can update details or add offers anytime.

Community-minded businesses can also sponsor categories or support directory‑related local events—details of which are explained on the Get Involved page.

Advertising Options

We aim to remain accessible while offering value:

• Starter Plan (£5 per month): Includes your name, address, phone number, category, one short paragraph description, and one link. Ideal for small businesses testing the water or those on the high street.
• Featured Plan (£10 per month: Includes extended description, logo, 3 product/service images, opening hours, social link integration, and priority ranking in search results.
• Premium Plan (£15 per month): Everything in Enhanced, plus featured position on the home page, inclusion in our monthly newsletter (circa 1,000 subscribers locally), and the option to post one blog post about your business per quarter.
• Sponsorships: starting from £250—perfect for businesses wishing to sponsor seasonal guides (e.g. “Exminster Crafts Fair”) or local charity initiatives.

Renewals occur annually, and discounted rates are available for local charities, non‑profits and first‑time registrants.

Why It Matters

The New Exminster Business Directory centres local businesses at the heart of community life. It provides a modern, reliable resource where shoppers, parents, residents and those new to the area can find trusted services. By offering both free and paid options, it supports micro‑businesses and sole traders as well as established firms aiming to expand their reach.

Survey feedback also highlights the lack of centralised up-to-date directories as a barrier for local economic growth, so this project not only fills a gap, but builds stronger local connections.

In conclusion, whether you’re a local plumber, a café owner, or a resident looking for a helpful list of local enterprises, the New Exminster Business Directory is here to serve. Visit the website today to discover how easy it is to get listed or find what your community has to offer.
