Red Hot Social Media manages social media for businesses in Cheltenham, taking care of content planning, copywriting, scheduling and publishing across Instagram and Facebook. Need fresh content too? We also create photography, Reels and short-form video on location across Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury and nearby areas.
We come to your premises and photograph the people, products, services and details customers actually see. On-location content shoots are available across roughly 20 miles of Cheltenham, including Gloucester, Tewkesbury and surrounding areas.
For restaurants, cafés, takeaways and hospitality businesses, we photograph the food, people, atmosphere, offers and day-to-day service that customers actually want to see. One well-planned content visit can give your business weeks of useful social media material.
We film the moments already happening inside your business — preparation, treatments, training, products, services and behind-the-scenes work — then edit them into Reels and short-form video for Instagram and Facebook.
Start with what your business actually needs. Our monthly social media management starts with four posts and scales up as you need more activity. We manage the planning, writing, preparation and publishing, with higher-level packages available when you need more content, reporting, photography, video or campaign support.

Instagram and Facebook are the core platforms we manage
The exact mix depends on the package you choose. Some businesses just need regular posts, while others need more hands-on support with their accounts, reporting or promotions.
Photography, video and paid promotion are available with selected packages. Advertising spend is paid separately.
Before someone gets in touch
People often look at your social media before they call, book or visit. It gives them a quick feel for what your business is like and what you offer.
Real photos, recent work and useful updates help people see what to expect before they get in touch.
It also gives you somewhere to show new offers, menus, services, events and anything else happening in the business.
What good content can do
Let people see your work, products, team and premises before they visit or contact you.
Current photographs, useful information and real examples make it easier to understand what to expect.
Give new products, menus, services, events and offers somewhere useful to be seen and shared.

The practical questions that usually come up before we start.
Yes. Tell us what your business does, how often you want to post and whether you already have good photos and video. We can then suggest the level of support that makes sense rather than simply putting you into the biggest package.
We need to understand your business, what you sell, the areas you want to promote and anything important coming up. If you already have photographs, menus, service lists, offers or existing social content, you can send those over so we have a useful starting point.
We will guide you through the access needed for the accounts we are managing. Where possible, we use the business and account access tools provided by the platform rather than asking you to send personal login details around.
No. That's one of the things we can take off your hands. We build content around what is actually happening in the business, including products, services, recent work, offers, events and useful information customers may want to know. You can still send us anything important whenever it comes up.
Yes. If you want approval, content can be sent to you before it goes live. Some businesses prefer to check everything, while others give us more freedom once we understand their tone, services and the type of content they are comfortable with.
We come to your business and capture a useful mix of material while you work. That might include products, food, staff, treatments, completed jobs, your premises and behind-the-scenes moments. The aim is to leave with enough variety to create several different pieces of content rather than one single post.
On-location content creation is normally available within roughly 20 miles of Cheltenham, including Gloucester, Tewkesbury and surrounding Gloucestershire areas. If your business is slightly further away, get in touch and we can confirm whether we can cover it.
Yes, as long as the footage is suitable to work with. You can send us clips you have already filmed and we can edit them into short-form content. If you need better or more varied footage, we can also arrange an on-location filming visit.
Send it to us as soon as you know about it. Regular content may already be prepared in advance, but we can factor in time-sensitive offers, new products, events or business updates where the schedule and package allow.
A boost is a simpler way of putting advertising money behind an existing post. A full Meta campaign gives more control over the audience, location, objective, budget and how the campaign is structured. We can recommend the better option depending on what you are trying to promote.
No. Our fee covers the campaign work we carry out. The money spent with Facebook or Instagram is a separate advertising budget funded by your business through the advertising account. For example, if you choose to spend £150 on an advert, that £150 is separate from our management fee.
Performance checks and reporting are available on selected packages. We can look at the content getting attention, account activity and useful campaign data so future content is based on what people are responding to rather than guesswork.
No social media company can genuinely guarantee a specific number of followers, enquiries or sales. Our job is to create and manage stronger content, keep your business visible and make better use of the platforms. Actual results depend on your business, market, offer, audience and advertising budget.

Keep your business visible
Social media is easy to put off when the business gets busy. We keep your Instagram and Facebook moving so you don't have to keep finding time to do it yourself.
We manage social media for businesses in Cheltenham and the surrounding Gloucestershire area, creating posts around your services, products, offers and what's happening in the business.
Send us your own photos and videos, or choose a Full Content package if you want us to create them too. You can also approve posts before they go live if you prefer.
