Social Media to Build Better Customer Connections
You know your business inside out, but managing social media can be time-consuming. With so many other priorities, coming up with fresh content ideas may seem too hard. But it's worth the effort.
Consistent, quality content attracts people who become your biggest champions — those who like, share, and spread your message. These connections and social proof are highly influential and help turn casual visitors into loyal customers.
If you're tired of doing everything yourself, give me a call. As your social media person, I'll take over the reins and deliver creative, engaging content to raise your online profile. With more brand awareness, organic leads are also an added bonus!

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a social media manager actually do for a small business?
If you’re wondering what I actually do as a social media manager — in short, I take the stress of posting off your plate.
I create and schedule regular content for platforms like Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn so your business stays visible, consistent, and connected with your audience. This includes:
writing captions
creating visuals
developing strategies
community engagement
My job is to help you build awareness, trust, and loyalty — so more of the right people choose you over your competition. Organic leads are a bonus, but not the main focus (that is what copywriting is for).
Which social media platforms are best for small businesses in New Zealand?
It really depends on where your customers are.
For most small NZ businesses, Facebook and Instagram are a solid starting point — they’re great for building local relationships and staying front of mind. If you’re B2B, LinkedIn could be worth exploring, but the type of content you need here tends to be more formal or professionally focused. There are also rules and differences around the kind of content you can share on your company and personal pages.
Creative or product-based brands often benefit from platforms like TikTok or YouTube. I’ll help you focus your time and energy where it counts. And although I can create reels and provide basic video editing services, creating video footage is not my forté.
Is it worth outsourcing social media for a small business?
Many small business owners tell me they want to show up online, but life and work get in the way.
If that sounds like you, then yes — outsourcing can be well worth it. I’ll keep your socials consistent and professional, so you can focus on running your business.
You’ll still have input where it matters, but you won’t have to worry about what to post, how to say it, or whether it’s working. Plus, if you need, I can also provide community engagement by replying to customer comments.
How much does social media management cost in New Zealand?
My social media management packages start from $299+GST per month, depending on what you need.
Packages include content ideas (strategy), post creation, reels, basic video editing, scheduling, and analytics. I’m happy to tailor things to suit your goals and budget, but I do require a minimum three-month agreement. That's because it's not just hitting post; there is work to be done before that happens.
It’s an affordable way to keep your business visible and growing, without having to do it all yourself.
How long does it take to see results from social media marketing?
Social media isn’t instant, but it is powerful.
Most of my clients start seeing better engagement and reach within the first few weeks of consistent posting. Over time, it helps build recognition, trust, and community (all things that lead to more enquiries and loyal customers).
If you’re in it for the long game, social media can become one of your best business tools because loyal customers give you something even more valuable than a like — they tell others. It’s today’s version of word-of-mouth, but with greater reach and potential because it happens online.
