ONS counted 11,500 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here. Barrow BID has represented the town centre's businesses since 2016 and was re-elected for a third five-year term in 2026, running through to 2031, funded by a levy on town centre business rates.
7.9% of businesses in Westmorland and Furness closed ('died') in 2024 (ONS business demography). 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.
