West Kent networking Event
Tuesday night saw the first WKN event to be held at the studio, and it was a complete success! I was very surprised at the number of people who came (42 in all) and I hope that many new contacts where made. The idea for this event was for people to bring along some of their products to 'show' what it is they do.
4 local business people exhibited, Carl Abrams landscape photographer, Amanda Wells balloon Artist, Yvonne Everything cupcakes, Janet Penny portrait photographer,.
It has shown me that the need for these types of events for local business people, is very worth doing, and I will be arranging another one for later in the year. All of these lovely people I have got to know through Twitter. i have found it to be a very useful business tool but also a great social tool. had I not embraced this technology, it would have taken so much more time to reach people.
Now that I have done my first one i know that getting the local community involved is not only rewarding, it is also necessary. Photoshoot studio hire is partly funded by Town & Country and this has given the company access to people and local businesses that I would not have been able to use without their help! My local Cafe 'Bliss cafe' run by local business woman Elaine Lawrence, provided all the catering needed for the event. bliss is also funded by T&C and we often help each other, this is just a small example of how local businesses can help each other.
Just so you know, I did get some business on the night so for me the whole event was very worth while. as I said I will be hosting another event in the future and I hope to get the same response.
