Marketing Intelligence for Local Businesses in St Augustine's
St Augustine's sits within Canterbury, South East, covering the CT4 postcode area, with Anvil Green, Ottinge and Petham close by. Canterbury Cathedral, founded by St Augustine in 597 AD, became the third most important Christian pilgrimage site in the world after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170, with pilgrims flocking to his shrine for over three hundred years and buying pilgrim badges as a medieval souvenir. The cobbled streets around the cathedral, including the Buttermarket, are still full of independent shops today, from Chaucer Bookshop to Canterbury Pottery.
Canterbury's Business Improvement District has been renewed by ballot three times (2014, 2019 and 2024) and now collects around £490,000 a year in levy from more than 650 businesses within the city walls. Government data (ONS, March 2026) recorded 5,835 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
95.1% of new businesses in Canterbury were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). With that much movement in the local business population, marketing intelligence is exactly what helps a business hold its ground.
