Original Shrewsbury is the largest social media platform for Shrewsbury, with 60,000 combined followers, and in 2025 our posts reached over 6.2 million people!
Shrewsbury BID Member businesses and Voluntary Members are entitled to up to six dedicated posts per calendar year, with a minimum of 6 weeks between posts. These can cover everything from a general push to new products or menu launches, significant milestones, etc. Our social media bookings fill up 2-3 months in advance, so the sooner you get in touch to book, the sooner we can get a post scheduled for you. We’ll remind you to submit your content close to the posting date.
Since January 2025, Shrewsbury BID has offered a free tier of promotional membership for businesses within 15-minutes’ walk of The Square, with a rateable value (RV) below the BID levy threshold of £12,000, for whom Voluntary BID Membership would not be cost-effective.
Free promotional membership includes:
- Basic business listing on the Original Shrewsbury website [1 image]
- The ability to list your business’s events or job vacancies on Original Shrewsbury [or Work in Shrewsbury, if relevant]
- Up to two dedicated social media posts per year
We reserve the right to review our membership offers on an annual basis where necessary.
