Marketing for Croydon businesses
Croydon is one of outer London's biggest office centres, with towers around East Croydon station, the Home Office at Lunar House, which houses UK Visas and Immigration, and national firms such as Superdrug based in the borough. Fast trains to London Bridge, Victoria and Gatwick have made it a long-standing base for back-office and professional work.
Lunar House has given rise to a cluster of immigration advisers and solicitors. Immigration is a sensitive and regulated area, and search ads must be accurate and avoid promising outcomes. Narrow campaigns on specific visa types, clear pricing on landing pages and call tracking tend to work best, and ads may need to run in several languages for some audiences.
The Purley Way corridor is a different world. Retail parks, trade counters, builders' merchants and car dealerships line the road. Their marketing is mostly about local search and stock:
- Google Search and Shopping ads for trade counters and merchants, with click-and-collect messaging
- Vehicle listing ads and Meta catalogue ads for car dealers, plus remarketing to people who viewed stock
- Local inventory and Google Business Profile updates for retail park tenants
Croydon has had a vocal tech and start-up scene for more than a decade, with co-working spaces and small software firms that need clean tracking, LinkedIn campaigns and landing page testing. Recruitment agencies are numerous and spend on LinkedIn and job ads.
The town centre has been through a long regeneration. Boxpark Croydon brought street food and events, Fairfield Halls reopened as an arts and conference venue, and Croydon was London Borough of Culture for 2023. Events and hospitality businesses do best with Instagram, Meta ads timed to event dates and email lists of past attendees.
