Social Media Packages For Small Business Owners & Trades
Social Media Management Service
Struggling to keep up with social media?
Showcasing your business on social media is no longer a 'nice-to-have', it's a
must-have to bring in new business ahead of your competitors.
But - you’re running a business, you’ve got customers to serve, jobs to finish, bills to chase, and a hundred things on your plate. The last thing you want is to sit down at night wondering what to post on Facebook or Instagram.
But here’s the thing. If you don’t post, people forget you. And when they need your service, you’re not the one that comes to mind.
That’s where Shello steps in.
Why bother with social media?
It’s not about going viral. It’s about being seen where your customers spend their time. Here’s why it matters:
- That’s where your customers are
Most people scroll Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn every single day. If you’re not there, you’re invisible. - Keeps you top of mind
If someone sees your posts every week, you’ll be the first name they think of when they need your service. - Shows you’re real and reliable
A Facebook page with nothing new for months makes people wonder if you’re still open. Fresh posts say you’re active and on the ball. - Puts a face to your business
Show your work, show your team, show what you’re about. It makes people feel like they know you before they even call. - Brings old customers back
A quick update or offer is often all it takes to remind people to come back. - Makes you look professional
Regular posts make even the smallest local business look solid and trustworthy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is social media marketing for small businesses?
For Shello, it means helping owners use Facebook, Instagram or other platforms to stay seen. We show your work, share updates, and keep customers reminded you’re open for business.
Why is social media important for local businesses?
Most people check online before they buy. If your page looks quiet, they think you’ve stopped trading. Shello keeps you active so you look reliable.
How often should I post?
At Shello we’ve found 6–8 posts a month works best. That’s once or twice a week. Enough to stay visible without burning you out.
Which platforms should I use?
Shello usually recommends Facebook and Instagram for local trades and shops. LinkedIn works if you sell B2B. TikTok is good for quick videos showing your work.
What type of posts work?
We create posts that show your jobs, before-and-afters, customer reviews, local tips and offers. Shello avoids boring stock images – real content gets attention.
How long till I see results?
Likes and comments can happen straight away. Shello clients usually see enquiries and sales after 2–3 months of steady posting.
Can social media really get me customers?
Yes. Shello has seen local posts turn into bookings many times. People buy when they see real proof of your work and happy customers.
Do I need to pay for ads?
Not always. Regular posting works well on its own. Shello runs ads if you want to push faster, but they’re not essential.
How much does social media cost for a small business?
You can do it free yourself. Or you can take a Shello package where we handle it for you each month at an affordable price.
How do I know if it’s working?
Shello tracks more than likes. What matters is calls, messages, and people saying “I saw your post.” That’s the sign it’s working.
Is it better to run it myself or get help?
If you’ve got time, do it yourself. Most owners don’t. Shello takes it off your hands so posts go out on time and look professional.
What if I’m too busy to post?
That’s the point of Shello. We schedule posts in advance, so your page keeps moving even when you’re flat out.
What mistakes do small businesses make?
The ones Shello sees most are posting once then stopping, using poor photos, not replying to messages, or posting things that don’t connect with locals.
How do I build trust locally with social media?
Show real jobs, use your own photos, reply to comments. Shello makes sure your posts feel genuine so locals know you’re the real deal.
How does social media link with other marketing?
Social posts push people to your website, help your Google ranking, and back up your Google Business Profile. Shello ties it all together so nothing’s wasted.
