Social Media Management in Cromford, Derbyshire
Cromford gets a steady stream of people coming for the heritage, and most of them look you up on their phone before they arrive, so your social media is often the first thing of yours they see. I’m a few miles down the Derwent Valley in Belper, and I come up once a quarter to film you at your place.

Who manages social media for businesses in Cromford?
North Bear Media does, from Belper, roughly seven miles down the Derwent Valley. Norton Hunt films Cromford businesses on site each quarter, so the posts show your actual place to locals and to heritage visitors checking you out before they come. It’s part of Found & Filmed at £995 a month, and the £295 MOT is the usual first step.
Heritage on the doorstep, and visitors who look you up before they come.
Cromford has the industrial revolution all round it, with Arkwright’s Cromford Mill right there, and as part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site it draws plenty of heritage visitors.
Your page is where they check whether you’re open and whether you’re worth the detour. I make sure it answers both.
It has to look like Cromford, with your actual place and people in it, not photos borrowed from somewhere. And it has to keep going in the quieter months, when it’s mostly the locals coming in.

So what does it cost to keep it going all year?
It’s part of Found & Filmed, £995 a month, and working in quarters suits a place with seasons.
What we film on the day goes out steadily until I’m back for the next one, so the quieter months still get something on the page while you’re busy running the business. You don’t have to think about it. That’s my job.
The replies get handled as people comment, and there’s a report every month with a call to go through it. Being found on Google and in AI search is in there too, which matters more in a place where people plan a visit from somewhere else. All for less than a full-time hire, with no training, and I bring the kit.
Anything that isn’t in it, like a leaflet for the visitors or an email to your regulars, I do as a separate project and price first. And if you want to see where you stand, the MOT’s £295 and it’s back within 48 hours.

How it goes through the year.
The busy months and the quiet ones shape it, but this is how it runs.

Your year first
I find out when you’re busy and who keeps coming back, and look at your pages as they stand.

Filming on site
I come up once a quarter and film and photograph the place, so it looks like Cromford, not a stock photo.

Posted right through
It’s edited and captioned, then it goes out steadily right through the year, not just in the busy months.

What to film next
There’s a report and a call every month, and nearer the next filming day we decide what’s worth filming, based on what’s done well.
Client view
“He is approachable, really took the time to listen to what I wanted and quickly grasped my Company’s approach, ethos and target client group.”
Some recent stuff I’ve posted for.
This is from a day I set up for Ginger Butchers in Matlock. I arranged for the Mayor to come in and got BBC Radio Derby down, then it all went out on their socials the same week.
Common questions about social media management in Cromford.
How much does social media management cost in Cromford?
It’s £995 a month in Cromford, the same in the quiet months as the busy ones, because social media management comes inside Found & Filmed. It’s rolling monthly with 30 days’ notice either way, and each quarter’s filming day at your place is included, with the posting and replies in between. The £295 Marketing MOT is a separate one-off.
Which platforms do you manage?
Instagram and Facebook, because heritage visitors look you up there before they come. I only add LinkedIn if you sell to other businesses.
How many posts per week?
I don’t set a weekly number. What matters for a Cromford business is that something keeps going out in the quieter months too, and the amount comes from what we film.
Do I need to provide content?
No. It comes from the filming day at your place each quarter, so it’s your own building and people, not stock photos. If you’ve got photos or videos already, I’ll use the good ones.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I’m in Belper, roughly seven miles down the valley from Cromford, so I come to you, or we talk on a call.

When a visitor looks up businesses in Cromford on their phone, do they find yours?
The MOT puts you next to two other businesses round you on the same checks, so you see exactly who a visitor is more likely to find, and it’s back within 48 hours. Or book a call if you’d rather talk first.
