Social Media Content for Local Businesses in St Martin's
St Martin's sits within Canterbury, South East, covering the CT1 postcode area, with Thanington and Northgate close by. Canterbury Cathedral, founded by St Augustine in 597 AD, became the third most important Christian pilgrimage site in the world after the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170, with pilgrims flocking to his shrine for over three hundred years and buying pilgrim badges as a medieval souvenir. The cobbled streets around the cathedral, including the Buttermarket, are still full of independent shops today, from Chaucer Bookshop to Canterbury Pottery.
Canterbury's Business Improvement District has been renewed by ballot three times (2014, 2019 and 2024) and now collects around £490,000 a year in levy from more than 650 businesses within the city walls. The ONS's March 2026 IDBR snapshot counted 5,835 VAT and/or PAYE registered businesses here.
95.1% of new businesses in Canterbury were still trading one year on, as of 2023 (ONS). In a market changing that fast, social media content is what keeps a business visible instead of lost in the churn.
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.
