How Anderton Electrics Built Their Social Media Presence from Scratch and Now Reach Hundreds of Local Customers

Anderton Electrics, a family-run electrical company, wanted to modernise their marketing but faced a common challenge: they had no social media presence and no time or expertise to build coone. Competing locally with larger companies that already had an online following, they needed a way to reach new customers in their area.

They partnered with OptiModo Marketing — experts in social media management for trades and family-run businesses — to create a professional online presence that generates real enquiries. Starting from zero, Anderton Electrics now reaches hundreds of targeted local people every month, positioning themselves as the go-to electricians in their community.

The Challenge

Before working with us, Anderton Electrics had:

  • No social media channels, making it difficult for new customers to discover them.

  • Limited marketing time, as their focus was on running the day-to-day business.

  • No clear strategy, meaning they risked losing customers to competitors with a stronger online presence.

They needed a solution that would create visibility, build trust, and generate local enquiries without adding more work to their plate
