Content, brand and marketing for Matthews makers and shops
Matthews has a Saturday market that has run for decades, a Labor Day parade and a small downtown. Owners who sell there spend the week making things, not posting about them. You photograph the goods, and we take the posting plan from there.
Marketing for Matthews vendors who sell on Trade Street
The Matthews Community Farmers Market meets at 188 N. Trade St. on Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon through November 21, 2026, then moves to winter hours from 9 to 11 a.m. starting December 5. Tuesday evening markets fall on November 24 and December 22.
We schedule posts ahead of each market day with your newest photos, and your own results decide which hours get the push.
From camera roll to calendar for Matthews sellers
Your phone holds product shots, workbench videos and customers at the stall. Send the files to a shared folder. We sort them, caption them, edit them and add images when a post needs one, then place them on the schedule.
You see the full week at once and approve it in one pass. Afterward we report on which posts people answered and which hour they answered in.
Brand identity for a town that remembers its names
The settlement was first called Stumptown, then Fullwood, before it took Edward Matthews's name. The Matthews Alive parade calls itself the largest Labor Day parade in the Southeastern United States. People here hold onto names.
Brand identity is how you sound and what customers remember about you. It reaches past matching colors between your site and your feed.
Reading the results for Matthews posts
Market photos can look great and still draw little response, while a quick video of a batch coming out can do the opposite. We compare posts across platforms and times of day, then report the pattern.
A single strong week does not change the plan. We wait for the weeks around it, and tell you what we see in a short note.
If one product sells out and draws a flood of replies, we note it, and the next plan gives that product more room in the week.
Questions from Matthews owners
Can you build posts around the winter market schedule?
Yes. Give us the dates, and we plan the weeks around them, using the times your followers have answered before.
I sell at the market and have no storefront. Is this still for me?
It is. The service is for small businesses with work to show. You film or photograph what you make, and we plan, caption, edit and schedule it.
Where else can Matthews owners find free guidance?
The Small Business Center at Central Piedmont Community College gives free one-on-one advising across Mecklenburg County, and the county's Office of Economic Development lists consulting and lending options online. We do the ongoing posting work.
