Testimonials
Caroline Carter Home Beauty
“Recently launching my new mobile beauty business in West Kirby was a very exciting time. As I don’t have a salon or ‘shop window’ to promote my business and services to passing clients, spreading the word of my new business is crucial. Emma Dewar interviewed me in a relaxed and friendly manner taking the time to listen to my previous experience in the beauty industry and reasons behind providing a luxury mobile beauty service on the Wirral.
“The coverage and exposure provided by West Kirby Today has been invaluable. I instantly saw an increase in Facebook followers and have had a number of inquiries and bookings since the article was published.
“If you are launching a new business or wish to promote a new service within an existing business, I would highly recommend working with West Kirby Today. Their local readership in growing rapidly and my business is already benefiting from being visible on their website and social media platforms. ”
