I am sharing details on an accessible, free networking opportunity happening next month that is ideal for my local business contacts looking to establish new connections.
At Elm Marketing Solutions, we advocate for strategic, in-person engagement as a key component of local marketing and relationship-building.
The Event: A Joint Initiative for Local Business Growth
This event is being held at the Derwentside Business Centre, and is a joint initiative by two important regional organisations:
Do Business Network (DBN): A respected platform for connecting business owners across the region. You can find out more about their work at www.dobusinessnetwork.com.
The Northern Tenants Business Network: A valuable resource for businesses operating within local business centres, focused on shared support and insights.
Attendees will have the chance to network with a diverse mix of local entrepreneurs, professionals, and tenants in a focused setting.
Why Strategic Networking Matters
Taking time for in-person events offers tangible benefits for your business visibility:
Direct Relationship Building: It provides the foundation for building the genuine, trustworthy relationships that often lead to referrals and collaboration.
Local Market Intelligence: It offers unfiltered insights into local business conditions and opportunities in the Derwentside area.
Demonstrating Authority: It allows you to clearly articulate your business's value proposition—like the services offered by Elm Marketing Solutions—in a credible, non-digital environment.
Practical Details
The organisers are providing bacon rolls and refreshments upon arrival. This informal approach makes it easier to initiate conversations and make new contacts right away.
I encourage local clients and contacts to utilise this no-cost opportunity for business development.
