Marketing Agency in Alfreton, Derbyshire

I do the marketing for Alfreton businesses from Belper, seven miles down the road. Alfreton’s a mix: firms out on the industrial estates, and the shops and trade in the town centre. For both, the job is making sure you come up when somebody asks Google, or ChatGPT, who to use. You know it needs doing. You’ve got a business to run. So I’ll do it.

Who does marketing for businesses in Alfreton?

North Bear Media does. It’s Norton Hunt’s studio in Belper, seven miles from Alfreton, and it gets firms on Alfreton’s industrial estates and in the town centre found on Google and in AI search like ChatGPT, then keeps the marketing going. Ongoing work is Found & Filmed at £995 a month, and the way in is the £295 MOT.

Marketing for Alfreton businesses.

What sets Alfreton apart is the mix. You’ve got the industrial estates on one side, full of firms that sell to other firms, and the town centre trade on the other. I market both.

Before this I ran the operations side of a logistics business, a hundred odd wagons, so a unit on an estate with a yard out the back is home ground for me. With those firms, the work comes from somebody at another business looking them up. They want to see you’re real and still trading before they pick up the phone, and I make sure they do.

The town centre is different. That’s people popping in, from Somercotes and South Normanton as well, checking your opening times and your reviews on their phone first. What’s the same for both is that you need to come up when somebody searches, and then look like a real business, not a brochure, when they click through. I sort both ends of that.

More of that searching happens in ChatGPT now than most people realise. I’ve had clients find me that way, just by asking it for somebody local, and reviews and a clear website are a big part of why. Nobody can guarantee what ChatGPT says, but I’ll work on your reviews, your website and what it says about you to give you the best chance of being the name it comes back with.

So what does it cost to have me do the marketing for an Alfreton firm?

The ongoing work is Found & Filmed, £995 a month, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way. If it’s not working for you, you stop.

With Found & Filmed I get you found on Google and in AI search like ChatGPT, and once a quarter I come out for a day and film at yours, the yard, the shop floor, wherever the work happens. I edit the video and stills, caption them, and post and schedule them over the following weeks, and I handle the replies. Your website’s included too. I host it and look after it, and once a month you get a report and a call to go through it.

If you’ve got a second site, a depot somewhere else, say, each extra location is £450 a month on top.

Anything outside that, like strategy on its own, the words for a brochure, a new brand or an email campaign, I do as a project, and I scope it first so you know exactly what you’re getting before you agree to anything.

If you want to know where you stand first, start with the MOT. It’s £295, no call needed, and it’s back with you within 48 hours, scored out of 100, with the three things to fix first. It doesn’t come off anything later. It’s yours to keep.

Alfreton’s own Richford Motor Services.

Richford Motor Services are a vehicle recovery firm based in Alfreton, and alongside their recruitment marketing I photograph their fleet. That’s one of their own trucks on their own yard, which does far more for them than a stock photo of a lorry ever would.

How it runs for an Alfreton firm.

This is the order it runs in. After the first quarter, a firm on the estates and a shop in town get different content, because they need different things.

    How the work comes in

    I find out whether it’s other businesses or people in town who buy from you. The MOT is a fast way into that.

  2. 02 //

    A day’s filming at yours

    Once a quarter I come out with the cameras and lighting and film your people working and the place itself, so what goes out is you.

    Posted week by week

    It goes out on your socials over the following weeks, and in between I’m working on getting you up on Google and in ChatGPT.

    A report and a call

    Every month there’s a report on what came in, enquiries not likes, and we go through it together on a call.

Common questions about a marketing agency in Alfreton.

How much does marketing cost for a small business in Alfreton?

Ongoing marketing with me is Found & Filmed at £995 a month, rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, and every extra location after the first is £450 a month. That’s far less than a full-time hire, with no training and no kit to buy, because I bring my own. The Marketing MOT is a one-off £295. Other work I scope and price as a project first.

Who does digital marketing in Alfreton?

North Bear Media, which is me, Norton Hunt, working from Belper seven miles away. For an Alfreton business, digital marketing means coming up on Google and in AI search when somebody looks for what you do, then having a website and socials that back you up when they check. That’s exactly what Found & Filmed does.

What businesses in Alfreton do you work with?

Established local businesses without the time to do their marketing properly, whether that’s a firm on one of the industrial estates or a shop in the town centre. If it’s staff you’re short of rather than customers, I make short recruitment films called Work Here films, like the recruitment work I do for Richford.

Can you manage our entire marketing?

Yes. Found & Filmed covers the day to day: being found on Google and in AI search, the quarterly filming, the posting and replies, and your website’s hosting and care, with a report and a call each month. Bigger one-off jobs I scope as projects, and a couple of remote specialists I work with help on some of the marketing side.

How do I know it’s working?

You get a report every month and we go through it on a call. I track the enquiries that came in and where they came from, not likes and followers, so you can see exactly what’s bringing work in.

Are you based near Alfreton?

Yes. I’m based in Belper, seven miles from Alfreton and twenty minutes in the car. I’ll come out to your unit or your shop, or we can do it on a call.

If a firm in Alfreton asks ChatGPT who does what you do, is it your name that comes back?

Try it yourself, it takes a minute. If it comes back with somebody else, the MOT shows you why and what to fix first. Or book a call and we’ll talk it through.
