Social media marketing in Wexford, planned around a season.
Most social advice assumes a business whose demand is roughly the same every month. A Wexford coastal business has nothing like that, and applying flat advice to a sharply seasonal year is how budgets get wasted here.
The useful thing about social in this county is that it reaches people before they arrive. A household that comes to Courtown every August can be reached in May from wherever they actually live, which is something search cannot do.
What managing your social actually involves
A schedule that follows your year rather than the calendar, with budget concentrated where the customers are.
The content, written and posted for you
A steady presence in your own voice, including through the quiet months when it costs almost nothing to stay visible.
Pre-season targeting
Reaching returning summer households before they travel, from wherever they live the rest of the year.
Resident campaigns for the off-season
The local trade that keeps a business alive between June and September.
Lead forms and click-to-message
Enquiries captured in-platform rather than lost on the way to a site.
Replies handled
Within the working day, which matters more in a short season where a missed message is a lost week.
Reaching people before they get here
This is the capability most Wexford businesses never use. Somebody who holidays in the same place every year is reachable in spring, cheaply, from their home county.
By July you are competing with every other local business for attention. In May you are the only one talking to them.
What you have to do
Send photographs, and take some in summer for use in winter.
A coastal business photographed in February sells nothing. Building a library during the season and drawing on it out of season is the single most practical habit in this county.

What it costs
€1,500 a month for one advertising channel fully managed, all social run and every lead followed up. €2,500 adds the second channel and a new website. Month to month, no setup fee, and ad spend is paid by you directly to the platforms from your own account.
Straight answers.
Yes — by targeting where they live rather than where they holiday, in the months before they travel. It is cheap and almost nobody does it.
Enough to stay visible to residents, using material shot during the season. Going silent from October means rebuilding attention every spring.
Yes. Commuter households, different expectations, and they should be targeted separately from the coastal towns.
Probably not, though tourism and hospitality businesses with strong visuals do better there than most sectors.
Yes — editor access rather than ownership, removable any time.
No. We report enquiries and what each cost.
