Marketing a business using social media
Posted by Callum Whitten on 16 September 2020

Swan Health Physiotherapy is an independent physiotherapy business run by Ruth Wilson. Ruth decided to take the plunge and expand her own clinic instead of being part of a larger business.

Ruth was finding the prospect of marketing her business a bit overwhelming. So, she asked Hey Me to help. We set up a programme that introduced Ruth to the basics of social media marketing and gave her guidance on how to build a successful strategy.

Amy commented:

“Like many people when they start out, Ruth knew social media would help her reach her local audience but wasn’t sure what to put out there or how to organise it.”

Over a couple of short sessions, Hey Me guided Ruth through the process of planning, introduced her to the basics of each platform and supplied a framework to start organising her social media updates and ideas in a logical way.

Ruth explained how Hey Me helped her: “Hey Me gave me a really good framework that I could work to. They also helped me identify my target audience and educated me on what I was wanting to achieve with my posts.”

After making the initial changes, Swan Health Physio’s Facebook page immediately gained more engagement and exposure.

Ruth added:

“A lot of my business comes through word of mouth when people have received a good service, so it’s been extremely beneficial to have a presence on social media. I found it to be a really simple way for me to not only engage with my patients, but also for them to share their experience with other potential clients.

“I would highly recommend Amy and the Hey Me team – they are really supportive and easy to talk to. No question is stupid and they really helped me to make sense of the process.”

“Since day one, Amy herself has fit seamlessly into our team, understanding the message we want to convey and the audiences we want to reach. Her upfront audit was invaluable in helping us internally hone our common voice, which has demonstrated itself in the consistency of the content we put out as a brand and as individuals within the company. Behind the scenes, Amy has instinctively adopted our internal communication methods (Slack, SharePoint) and works closely with our in-house graphic design team to ensure our graphics and copy are in sync.” Lucy Prior MBE - previously from 3Squared 2021
“After meeting Amy a few years ago, I was able to provide her with an opportunity to manage the comms on a major alliance, alongside Marie from Doodle HR, which she flourished at. Amy helped me to implement a more structured approach, freeing up my time to work more closely with clients and create new content. Hey Me are easy to deal with and quick to provide valuable solutions; I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Amy and the team again” Karen Duncan - Lanehead Coniston
“Working with Hey Me is very straight forward - they take you through whatever process is needed, with clear instruction and good ideas. Since working with Hey Me, Zak Mobility now has a strong brand identity and purposeful website that is fit for purpose. I would recommend Hey Me to other companies, as they do a professional job with a friendly face.” Sam Pearce - CEO, Zak Mobility
“As a member of the RIA SME Leadership team, Amy ran a slimdown version of the Hey Me messaging workshops in 2023. The workshops helped the team to delve deeper into what the SME group stood for, what it meant to them as individuals and businesses and what they wanted to gain from communications. By holding up a mirror to those in the group and using a tiered approach, the group was able to find a common purpose and with Hey Me's help, a common language which best represented the aims of the leadership team and our RIA SME members. The fantastic results of this can be seen in action on our SME page of our website.” Isabella Lawson - Railway Industry Association
