Wollongbar social media

Social Media Marketing Wollongbar

Wollongbar is growing, and many of its businesses are new, small or run from a spare room: makers, consultants, tradies and local services finding their first customers. For them, social media is often the cheapest way to get known, as long as the time spent on it actually pays off.

We’re about 20 minutes away in Ballina. We’ve worked in Wollongbar before, producing a series of images of the suburb for Ballina Council’s Wollongbar Profile, and we help small businesses decide whether to post themselves or hand it over.

01.

Start With a Plan

If you’re just starting out, a tailor-made social strategy might be all you need. We set out who to talk to, what to post and when, with tips and best practice, and you run it yourself.

02.

Hand It Over When It Grows

Once the business gets busier, posting is usually the first job to slip. We can take over content creation and posting completely, keeping the voice you’ve built, so your accounts don’t go quiet just as things pick up.

03.

Home-Based and Creative

Working from home means customers can’t drop in, so your feed becomes the shopfront. Good photos of your work, your process and you help people trust a business they have only seen online.

Photos of the Local Area

For Ballina Council we photographed the suburb for the Wollongbar Profile, a strategic planning document. Having photographed around the suburb already helps when your posts need a familiar local backdrop.

05.

Small Budgets, Paid Reach

A modest paid campaign can introduce a new business to nearby towns faster than waiting for unpaid reach. We develop and manage ads across the major platforms, scaled to what a young business can spend.

Pricing

Full social media management for Wollongbar businesses starts from $650 a month + GST. Ask about a strategy you implement yourself, and shoots start from $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST.

Wollongbar social media questions

Full management starts from $650 a month + GST. For a new or home-based business, a one-off tailor-made strategy is often the smarter first spend: it sets out who to talk to, what to post and when, and you run it yourself until the business can justify handing it over.

If you enjoy posting and have the time, a strategy is a great start. If posting keeps falling to the bottom of the list, management is usually better value, because a quiet account can make a busy business look closed.

When customers can’t drop in, your feed is the shopfront, so it needs good photos of your work, your process and you. A shoot from $495 for a 2-hour shoot + GST gives you a bank of images to post for months, and a logo from $699 + GST ties the profile together.

Yes. Ballina Council commissioned us to photograph Wollongbar for the Wollongbar Profile, a strategic planning document, so we’ve worked around the suburb before. That’s handy when your posts need a familiar local backdrop rather than generic stock.

Yes. We built an online portfolio website for Patricia Smithyman, a Wollongbar textile artist, with a clean, minimal design that lets the work take centre stage. Social works the same way: well-lit photos of the pieces and the process, posted regularly and linked to a site where buyers can see more.

Not by itself. When someone searches for a service near Wollongbar, Google mostly shows Business Profiles and websites, while social builds familiarity once they’ve found you. For a new business, setting up your Google Business Profile properly, from $450 + GST, is often worth doing first.

Yes, we’re about 20 minutes away in Ballina and happy to catch up locally or come to you. Most ongoing work then happens by phone, email and video call, which suits owners juggling clients, family and everything else.
