Social media for business

Not getting anywhere with social media?

Using social media for business requires a different approach than using Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, or X in your personal life—if you’re like us, maybe even a little too much. It gets trickier when you’re using social media to promote a business, though. It can be hard to win attention when someone’s friend has just posted a kitten video doing the rounds.

Social media can work brilliantly for businesses, but only if you know how to use it to market your products or services.

The bit most people miss: it’s not “posting”, it’s a campaign

A lot of businesses try to be consistent for a month, run out of ideas, and then blame the platform. The truth is, social media for business works best when there’s a simple shape behind it: a clear goal, a message that stays coherent, and a plan for what happens after someone engages.

That doesn’t mean turning your week into a spreadsheet or shouting about “funnels”. It means knowing what you want this to do. Are you trying to book calls, sell products, fill quieter dates, or simply be the obvious choice in your area? The right campaign looks different for each of those — and the content should, too.

One size doesn’t fit all — because your customers don’t either

Social Media Marketing for Businesses - one size does not fit all

Your audience isn’t “everyone on Instagram”. It’s real people with specific questions, worries, and reasons for choosing one provider over another. Good social media for business starts with understanding who you’re talking to, what they care about, and what they need to see before they trust you.

That’s where working with Simon helps. We take the time to understand your client base, the types of customers you want more of, and the language that already resonates with them. Then we build content that sounds like you, not like a generic brand trying to go viral.

Social media should support the bigger picture

The strongest campaigns don’t live in isolation. They connect with your website, your offers, your email marketing, your reviews, and even the way you answer the phone. When your message is consistent across everything, the algorithms tend to follow — but more importantly, people do.

We also monitor what’s actually working. Not vanity numbers for the sake of it, but the signals that matter: enquiries that mention a post, bookings that spike after a campaign, messages that repeat the same questions (which is often a content clue in disguise).
