Marketing for Lisburn businesses
Lisburn became a city in 2002 and sits on the River Lagan just south-west of Belfast, at the junction of the M1 and the A1 road south to Newry and Dublin. Its history is tied to linen, a story told at the Irish Linen Centre and Lisburn Museum in the market square. Today it is both a commuter city for Belfast and a business location in its own right.
The road links suit distribution, and wholesalers and distributors here often serve customers across Northern Ireland and into the Republic. Their marketing usually includes:
- Google Shopping and Search campaigns for trade products, with trade account sign-ups tracked
- Separate campaigns for Northern Ireland and the Republic where they sell across the border, with sterling or euro pricing
- Email to trade customers about new lines, price changes and stock
Manufacturing is significant, with drinks bottling, food production, engineering and building products on estates such as Knockmore and Silverwood. Food and drink producers selling to retail use LinkedIn and email for buyers and Instagram, Shopping ads and email for consumers. Building products suppliers benefit from search ads aimed at builders and specifiers, and from content that answers technical questions.
Sprucefield, on the edge of the city, is one of Northern Ireland's biggest out-of-town retail parks. Independent retailers in the city centre compete with it through Instagram, local Meta ads and loyal email lists, while restaurants and cafés do best with Instagram and weekend ads.
The former Maze site has become the Maze Long Kesh development, home to the Eikon Exhibition Centre and the Balmoral Show, Northern Ireland's main agricultural event. Agri-food businesses and event suppliers can plan campaigns around it. Accountants, solicitors and estate agents use focused search and Meta lead ads.
