Our story
Loving Local started with a simple wish: to bring Enfield's business community and local people together. A place to find local news, to ask for help and get it, and to rally behind the charities that do so much for our borough.
It's grown into a community, a weekly live show and a network of local businesses who look out for each other.
What we've done for local businesses
Loving Local is run by the team at Loving Social Media. Here's what consistent social media has done for some of the businesses we look after.
Figures from Facebook, Instagram and Google Business Profile analytics.
Why we've changed how business posts work
Every week, local businesses ask to post in Loving Local. We love that. But a group full of adverts stops being a community, and then nobody wins, least of all the businesses.
So business promotion in the group is now for Loving Local members. It keeps the group useful for residents, and it means the businesses who join get properly seen.
