Social Media Content for Local Businesses in Chickerell
In Dorset, Chickerell stands as its own local area. It had a population of 6283 at the most recent census. A town and parish in south Dorset, two miles north-west of Weymouth.
Gillingham Chamber of Commerce & Industry has supported local businesses since the 1930s, today representing a mix of high street shops, industrial estate firms and home-based digital businesses across the area. The area's official ONS business count recorded 18,000 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
9% of businesses in Dorset were newly started ('born') in 2024 (ONS business demography). That kind of churn is precisely why social media content matters - standing still isn't an option when the market around you isn't.
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.
