What we do for businesses in Bury

Bury is a market town in the proper sense, with one of the best-known markets in the North pulling visitors in from well outside the borough, alongside manufacturing, trades and a healthy independent scene. We work with Bury clients across retail, food and services.

Marketing for businesses in Bury

What Bury businesses are working with

A market town with genuine pulling power, where a good share of the trade travels in rather than living round the corner.

The market brings visitors

Bury Market draws people from across the North West. Food, retail and hospitality nearby should be marketing to day visitors, not just locals.

Heritage and days out

The East Lancashire Railway and the events calendar create busy days that are predictable. Visibility is worth building ahead of them, not during.

Food and drink reputation

Bury has a food name worth trading on. For producers and independents that means ecommerce and search, not just footfall.

Why marketing matters for Bury businesses

For Bury businesses, a lot of trade is visitor trade. People travel in for the market and the East Lancashire Railway, which means you’re marketing to people who don’t live here as well as those who do.

That makes local search work harder. Someone deciding where to eat before the market opens is searching on a phone, and the businesses that show up with good reviews get the visit.

The fundamentals do the work: a complete Google Business Profile, accurate citations, fast mobile pages and a steady flow of genuine reviews.

Frequently asked questions

Are you actually based in Bury?

No. We’re in Northwich, Cheshire, about an hour away. Close enough to know the patch, far enough that our overheads stay sensible. Most clients prefer that trade to paying for a local office.

Do you understand the Bury market?

Yes. We work across the North West and know the local competition, the search patterns and what actually brings enquiries in a place like Bury.

Do you work with retail and food businesses?

Yes. For retail and food it’s usually a fast mobile site, a properly run Google Business Profile, review generation, and often ecommerce so you can sell beyond the market stall or shop floor.

How often will we speak?

As often as the work needs it. A regular reporting call as standard, plus whatever else crops up in between. All over video, so booking a slot takes a minute and nobody loses a morning to travel.

What's the smallest budget you'll work with?

Web design starts in the low thousands. Ongoing retainers start at a few hundred a month. We’ll tell you straight on the first call whether your budget fits what you’re after.

Who you'll actually be working with

We founded Cheshire Cat Marketing in 2016 after watching too many small businesses burn through agency budgets and end up with a slow site and a stack of invoices.

We work with businesses across the UK and into Finland and Sweden, and every bit of it is done in-house. Whoever you speak to first is the person doing the work, and they stay with you. Nobody is passing your messages to a separate team.

  • Five-star rated, every review 54 reviews across Google and Facebook. Not one of them below five stars.
  • Award-winning Shortlisted more times than we can neatly list, and we've taken a good few home.
  • Everything done in-house No freelancers, no white-label, nobody you've never met touching your account.
  • Outspoken, honest support We'll tell you when something won't work, even when it'd be easier to take the money.

I just want to say, the guys over at Cheshire Cat Marketing are amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better bunch of people to constantly be in contact with. Whether it was checking up on me and my business or being open to listening to my ever changing ideas! Everything in between too! I would recommend them to anyone wanting, social media or anything marketing wise for your business!

I’ve just phoned and spoken to Rhi, who has been absolutely incredible! I phoned to cheekily ask for some advice, as I am fundraising for a charity event. She was incredible, offering advice, guidance and ideas. The support was truly incredible and has allowed me now to hopefully generate more publicity and support for the event I am supporting.I am in awe of her friendly disposition and her generosity of her experience.Her entire demeanour was approachable and supportive and offered a true unique perspective, whilst being situational and economically aware.So pleased, and touched to have had such a wonderful and postive interaction and would encourage anyone to use their services again.

The Cheshire Cat team are fantastic. They really care about understanding your business and doing a great job. Each time they send me some posts to approve I'm always thrilled with the results - and with 20+ years marketing experience, I'm not an easy person to please! We've seen our followers steadily grow whilst we've been working with them - recommended!
