Marketing for Huddersfield businesses
Huddersfield still makes things. Fine worsted cloth is woven in mills around the town, David Brown has made gears here for well over a century, Cummins builds Holset turbochargers, and chemicals, valves, pumps and specialist machinery firms work along the Colne Valley and Leeds Road. Many of these firms export, and their marketing is B2B and often international.
Engineering and machinery firms find buyers through search ads on specific products and part types, LinkedIn ads to engineers and buyers in target industries and countries, and email to distributors and existing customers. Campaigns for export markets need separate targeting, budgets and sometimes translated ad copy, so you can see whether Germany, the US or the Middle East is paying back.
Textile mills and cloth merchants sell to tailors, brands and buyers worldwide. Instagram suits cloth well when photography shows texture and colour accurately, and LinkedIn reaches fashion and tailoring buyers. Email to trade customers about new bunches and seasonal collections keeps orders moving. Some mills now sell direct to the public, which brings Shopping ads and product feeds into play.
The University of Huddersfield and its 3M Buckley Innovation Centre support start-ups that need early tracking, a clear message and small, well-measured campaigns. The Holme and Colne Valleys, with Holmfirth, Marsden and Slaithwaite, are full of small food, drink and craft businesses that sell online and at markets, and rely on Instagram, Facebook and email lists built at events.
