Marketing Intelligence for Common Edge Local Businesses
Within Blackpool, North West, Common Edge shares postcode district FY4 with neighbouring Great Marton, Marton Fold and Little Marton. Blackpool was the first town in the world to have electric street lighting, in 1879, a year before Thomas Edison patented the light bulb, planting the seed for what became the famous Blackpool Illuminations.
According to ONS, there were 3,780 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Blackpool's Town Centre Business Improvement District, established in 2005, has invested over £4 million into the town centre through a levy on local businesses, and in November 2025 the town approved a second, tourism-focused BID alongside it.
30.5% of children in Blackpool were living in relative poverty (before housing costs) in 2024 (DWP/HMRC via ONS). Understanding the real economic context of the area you serve is part of doing marketing honestly and effectively - that's what marketing intelligence is built around.
