Social Media Content for Local Businesses in Marston
Marston is one of Oxford's local areas, within postcode district OX3, bordering Elsfield, Shotover Hill and Woodeaton. Oxford's Covered Market opened in 1774, built to get meat, fish and vegetable sellers off the streets under the Oxford Mileways Act of 1771, and is one of the oldest continually operating markets in the country. Its roughly 60 independent traders still work under the same Grade II listed red-tiled roof, some of them family businesses passed down for generations, such as Browns Café, in the same family for twenty-five years.
A proposal to set up a Business Improvement District in Oxford city centre failed to gain enough support around 2008, and none has been established since; the city's independent traders instead rely on Oxford City Council's own business support service. ONS counted 4,975 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
Workers in Oxford produced £39.86 of economic value for every hour worked in 2023 (ONS). That's real spending power locally - social media content is how you make sure some of it finds its way to you.
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.
