Social Media Content for Black Friars Local Businesses
Located in Leicester (East Midlands), Black Friars takes in the LE3 postcode district and neighbours Western Park, Rowley Fields and Glenfield. Leicester's market has traded on the same site for over 700 years, first recorded in 1298 though possibly named centuries earlier as 'Cheapside' in the Domesday Book, and today it's Europe's largest covered market. Away from the modern Highcross shopping centre, the narrow Victorian arcades of The Lanes still hold independent shops and coffee houses tucked into the old street pattern.
BID Leicester funds a business-led programme to keep the city centre clean, safe and attractive for the traders inside it; Leicestershire's own chamber of commerce, founded in 1918, merged into the three-county East Midlands Chamber in 2017 and now serves over 12,000 businesses across Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire and Leicestershire together. Official ONS figures counted 13,905 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
28.1% of working-age people in Leicester were economically inactive in 2023 (ONS). Numbers like that are part of the backdrop social media content is built to work within.
About Social Media Content
Social Media Content is our monthly service for owners who would rather run their business than stare at an empty caption box. We think of the ideas, write the words and design the graphics, then send every batch to you for approval before anything goes out.
How it works, start to finish
Step 1: Brand session
A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.
Step 2: Research
We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.
Step 3: Monthly batch
We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.
Step 4: Your approval
You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.
Step 5: Scheduling and publishing
Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
