Derby and Nottingham social media agency breaks £1m sales barrier

Posted on February 16, 2018

 

The Status Social team is celebrating after we and our clients generated more than a million pounds in sales through social media.

We’re also marking the company’s birthday – seven years ago we created one of the UK’s first specialist social media agencies, beginning life in the spare room at the home of our directors, Mark and Kerry.


Since then, our team has trained more than 1,700 people how to use social media, and as a result of that training and our management of social media accounts, our clients have generated sales from companies such as Jaguar Landrover, RyanAir and TK Maxx.
The bulk of the million pounds had been made in the last couple of years as our clients’ social media efforts have been rewarded.

So they used LinkedIn instead, which we’d trained them how to use, and got a sale worth £19,000, said Kerry Saxby.
Another one of our clients in the double glazing industry says they have generated £200,000 in sales over the last few years.
And a further one brought in £150,000 of sales through attracting a major manufacturer using social media.

“With one of our clients on the verge of a half a million pound deal through social media, it won’t be long before we reach £2m!” Mark Saxby

Status Social’s own social media content is seen more than a million times a year and generates a steady stream of leads. We have worked with companies such as Vision Express, Booker, Close Brothers, Saniflo and Marriott Hotels.
Mark Saxby said the hunger for social media management accelerated towards the end of 2017.
“We had a record-breaking December and have already beaten our all-time January, February and March sales total. We expect the trend to continue in 2018 and are looking to increase the size of our team.
