Social Media Content: Built for Local Businesses in Old Dock
Old Dock forms part of Dudley. Originally known as Thomas Steers' dock, it was the world's first commercial wet dock.
Dudley itself has no town centre Business Improvement District, unlike Halesowen and Stourbridge elsewhere in the borough; local businesses are instead represented through the Black Country Chamber of Commerce, covering Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton. Official ONS figures recorded 10,100 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area.
The employment rate in Dudley was 79.7% in 2023 (ONS). That context matters for understanding who's actually available to buy from you, which is exactly what social media content is for.
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.
