Work With Us
SK Lowdown helps independent businesses, venues and events get in front of the people who live in and visit Stockport and want to know what's worth their time.
Through the newsletter, the site, our social and What's On guide, we join the dots between local businesses and people who are already looking for exactly what you do. Our readers see something on SK Lowdown and act upon it, rather than just scroll past.
Why partner with SK Lowdown?
I'm not some big glossy media brand parachuting in to tell Stockport what's good. I live here, work here and am out in it every week. Everything in SK Lowdown is somewhere we've actually been, eaten, or tried personally. That's the difference between an ad and a recommendation people trust, and it's why readers keep coming back.
We’re not just a listings site, we’re trying to keep Stockport's independent businesses thriving, one honest recommendation at a time. Partner with me and your business gets seen by people who were already looking for it
Ways to Work With Me
Featured Listing
Get your business into the homepage Spotlight — the block I refresh every month with whatever's worth shouting about right now — plus a dedicated post on Instagram and a mention in the next newsletter that goes out. Great for a launch, a new menu, a pop-up, anything with a date on it you want people to see. Three touchpoints, one week, all pointing people directly to your business.
A few flexible options, depending on whether you want a one-off push or something ongoing.
Event Feature
Got an event coming up, a festival, a fundraiser, a themed weekend? Sponsor the guide I write about it and get your name on it: "brought to you by [you]," plus a write-up after the event covering how it went. Promotion before, coverage after one clear placement tied to your event and proof that it worked.
Business Partnership
I'm building out a detailed Stockport business directory, and I want a handful of founding partners in it from day one — ongoing features, social mentions and a permanent directory listing, at an early-access rate that won't be around once it's fully built out. If you want an ongoing presence rather than a one-off, this is it.
