Social Media Content for Raikes Local Businesses
Raikes sits within Blackpool, North West, covering the FY5 postcode area, with Trunnah, Stanah and Cleveleys close by. Blackpool was the first town in the world to have electric street lighting, in 1879, a year before Thomas Edison patented the light bulb, planting the seed for what became the famous Blackpool Illuminations.
According to government data (ONS, March 2026), there were 3,780 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. Blackpool's Town Centre Business Improvement District, established in 2005, has invested over £4 million into the town centre through a levy on local businesses, and in November 2025 the town approved a second, tourism-focused BID alongside it.
88.5% of new businesses in Blackpool were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). 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.
