Marketing for barbers and salons in Newcastle.
Your regulars love you. Now let's get the people who've never heard of you. Reviews, Google Maps and reels that fill chairs.
Google Maps fix-up £195 once. Socials from £165 a month. Websites from £750.
Every other agency quoted us £800+ per month. Social+Media does more for £355. Our bookings are up 40% and our social content actually looks like us now.
I finally feel like I own a business and not a very expensive hobby. Our Instagram went from 400 to 8,200 followers in 4 months and the footfall increase is insane.
8.2k Instagram followers (from 400). Gosforth Boutique. See the receipts
Some of this is work our crew did before Social+Media. Names and details changed for privacy. More reviews
Who does the work? Sarah and Mitchel run every job. Some of the work is done by Newcastle freelancers we know and trust. We brief it, check it and stand behind it. One contact, one invoice.
Your booking app isn't your marketing
Booking apps are brilliant at filling diaries with people who are already on them. They don't help the person who's just moved nearby and typed "barbers near me" into Google.
That person gets the map. And if your best reviews live inside the app, Google can't count them. So a shop with a worse score and more Google reviews gets the customer.
Sell the expensive stuff properly
One big treatment can be worth twenty standard appointments. Nobody books one on a whim. They search quietly, read everything and want proof. Give it a page of its own, with prices, before and afters (with consent) and answers to the awkward questions.
Instagram that doesn't stop and start
Three posts a week beats ten in a burst and nothing for a month. A fresh cut, a transformation, a bit of personality. Same days each week. Boring to plan. Brilliant for reach.
