Social Media Content for Kendal Local Businesses
Kendal is nicknamed the Auld Grey Town for the grey limestone of its older buildings, and it grew rich on the wool trade after Flemish weavers were invited there in the 14th century, developing Kendal Green cloth.
ONS recorded 11,500 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Kendal BID has run since 2014, led by volunteer directors from local businesses, offering grants of up to £1,000 for shop-front and environmental improvements.
Gross disposable household income per head in Westmorland and Furness was £26,301 in 2024 (ONS). Local spending power like that is exactly the audience social media content is built 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.
