Welcome to Our New Home - Southwell Online

Here we are Southwell Online- We have long been known as The Southwell Scoop and can still be found on Social Media @SouthwellScoop. 

Founded in 2009 we have become an established part of the Southwell & District community. Over the years we have worked with the likes of the Notts TV Blue Duck, North Notts Envoys, Radio Newark, Radio Nottingham and a variety of local and national business networks to help promote the local area, in particular the local independent businesses. You may also remember the Adventures with Mr Bramwell, the Southwell mascot handmade by a local crafter, he visited a number of national attractions and has been photographed with celebrities helping to spread the word. 

Our followings have grown to over 9000 on our Social Media and we are proud to say that the audiences are interactive and continue to be supportive of all things Southwell related. 

Our website grew to include blog articles, a local directory, What's On pages and even an online Southwell Shop in 2018....! . Fast forward to 2019 and unfortunately, we experienced a technical problem which resulted in us losing the majority of our online data -but rather than feel dejected and give up altogether we have decided to take this opportunity to refocus our efforts on our Social Media platforms and provide more of a service to local businesses. 

There are two of us who have grown the Southwell Scoop over the years for the good of the local community and economy, our philosophy has always been to help local independent businesses embrace the power of online tools and to reach a wider audience through collaboration.  

In our opinion there is now no better way do this than to ensure Live Video is incorporated into your business marketing routines. We were at the forefront of Live coverage in the area featuring businesses on Periscope (in its early days) and of course Facebook Live.

Video and especially Live social media coverage allows individuals to make an instant real time connection with the face behind the businesses.

The ethos, the personality, the unique aspects of a business's brand and especially the people behind that business can be conveyed in even a short 3-5 minute Live video. The possibilities are endless when thinking of what to share - FAQ, How to's, Demonstrations, Behind the Scenes Footage, Special Offers, Live Event Coverage, Interviews.... and so forth.... 

For those who are shy when it comes to the camera, there really is no excuse, it is still possible to get involved and also over time when working with us, businesses have braved new approaches to their marketing ! 

So we do hope you:

• Enjoy our new look Southwell Online,
• If you are a local business that you take those steps to future proof yourself and start using social media to its full potential 
  and of course 
• Help spread the word to friends, family and business networks of how they can all support this amazing area.
