Social Media Content for Local Businesses in Dorchester and Weymouth
Dorchester grew from the Roman town of Durnovaria and was fictionalised as Casterbridge by Thomas Hardy, while Weymouth became a fashionable Georgian seaside resort after George III first visited for his health in 1789 and later served as a major D-Day embarkation point.
Dorchester was the first BID town in Dorset, and its Chamber for Business has promoted local trade since 1916; Weymouth runs its own separate BID, We Are Weymouth, alongside the century-old Weymouth & Portland Chamber of Commerce. ONS counted 18,000 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
Workers in Dorset produced £35.43 of economic value for every hour worked in 2023 (ONS). That's the kind of local economy social media content is designed to work in.
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.
