Social Media Content for Local Businesses in Blackburn
Around 1910, at the height of the Lancashire cotton trade, Blackburn employed more weavers than any other town in the world, roughly 42,000 people working looms across more than 100 mills.
Blackburn BID, representing around 360 town centre businesses, was re-elected for a second five-year term in a November 2023 ballot with an overwhelming yes vote, securing a further £1.5 million of local investment from January 2024. ONS recorded 5,705 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
The employment rate in Blackburn with Darwen was 67.6% in 2023 (ONS). That's the local workforce and customer base social media content is competing to reach.
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.
