What conversations do Kings Lynn’s businesses create?
Christmas is taking over in Kings Lynn, sitting right at the centre of the town’s conversation. The place name also sees decent conversation levels, while the wider Norfolk hashtag also gets a look in.
Even though Christmas sits at the heart of the conversation, some of the language in posts created by businesses does not always suggest it's the season to be jolly. The sentiment levels almost reach positive levels, but not quite. Kings Lynn businesses need to perk up their posts, adding some seasonal cheer.
