Social Media Content for Shorton Local Businesses

Shorton is a locality in Torbay, in the South West region. It falls within the TQ3 postcode district. Neighbouring places include Lower Blagdon, Preston and Paignton. Torquay is nicknamed the English Riviera for its mild climate, while nearby Paignton is famous for a giant pudding that caused a riot in 1859 and for a 1907 cinema said to have inspired settings in Agatha Christie's novels.

Government data (ONS, March 2026) recorded 4,095 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses in the area. English Riviera BID, active since 2016 and based on Vaughan Parade in Torquay, works to promote and support local businesses across Torquay and Paignton.

Torbay's population changed by 1% over the five years to 2024 (ONS). That's the size of the audience social media content is working with in this area.

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

  1. Step 1: Brand session

    A short conversation about your tone of voice, your audience and what is worth posting about.

  2. Step 2: Research

    We look at your audience, your competitors and what has performed before.

  3. Step 3: Monthly batch

    We prepare posts, captions and graphics, with versions for each platform you have chosen.

  4. Step 4: Your approval

    You approve, change or reject every post. Nothing goes out without your say so.

  5. Step 5: Scheduling and publishing

    Approved posts are scheduled and go live on your accounts.
