Social Media Strategy Development
What are the Social Media skills and knowledge your company needs to help you reach your market? We have two products that can help you determine a strategic way forward.
1. 10 Point Social Media Health Check
We believe that this Health Check can help any Business in Scotland to effectively assess where you are at on your Social Media journey and will signpost what you can practically do to reach the next level in the short and medium term.
My Town Homepage is a social media company who do more than just talk theory. Our Facebook Pages have over 10,000 followers in Inverclyde alone and we are by far the most “Talked About” in our area meaning that more people engage with us in Social Media than any other company in our part of Scotland.
We’d like to offer you the chance to take advantage of our social media skills and practical experience by giving your company a SOCIAL MEDIA BUSINESS HEALTH CHECK. This assessment involves an initial meeting between us which can take place in person or over the phone. During this 45- 60 minute appointment we will find out as much as we can about your company and listen to where you are at in your social media journey. Then within 5 working days we will produce a comprehensive and detailed 10 POINT HEALTH CHECK REPORT in which will give you our assessment of what you can do in the short and medium term to take your company forward using social media.
This Health Check will be relevant regardless of whether you are absolute beginners in social media through to experienced users. We believe our skills and experience in actually delivering and reaching audiences can help you take the next step for your company regardless of your level of expertise.
Our 10 POINT HEALTH CHECK REPORT will look at the following areas
We will spend between 3 - 5 hours on each assessment meaning that our normal fee for this service of £100 represents excellent value for money. We will normally arrange telephone interviews for Businesses outwith Inverclyde however face-to-face meetings can still take place assuming travelling expenses can be met.
For a limited period we have reduced our fee to only £49

Our other Strategy Offer is for your company to receive a comprehensive Social Media Strategy which will specifically set out what your company needs to do to move forward with Social Media in the next 12 months and beyond.
