What conversations do Hayle's businesses create?
The conversation created by Hayle businesses is place-led, but not specifically to Hayle. Surrounding towns such as Camborne and Helston feature alongside Hayle itself. Autumn coats and fashion trends seem to feature a lot, suggesting the area’s clothing stores have contributed heavily to the amount of content produced by local businesses.
Hayle’s content needs a little positivity boost. Businesses need to remember to follow Feed’s example and make their posts as positive, inviting and upbeat as possible. If you’re excited, customers will be.
Keeping your content strategy aligned to remaining upbeat, positive and exciting goes a long way to keeping the conversation scoring positively. That's not to say that all content should must be positive, but it's about recognising the importance of balance.
