Connecting Brings Added Value
November 27th, 2009data-via=”" >
As I was flipping through The Sunday Post yesterday an article titled, “Networking can bring added valueâ€, caught my eye as I immediately thought of Connector. The article points out that while tough economic times influence companies to pull back on spending, networking actually provides opportunities to save. Helen O’Brien, managing director of HOB Management, points out that it is important for businesses to keep investing in and attending events in the current economy as businesses need to be out there more than ever and people are helping each other out more than ever before. Networking events provide opportunities to garner new contacts and reconnect with old ones. You may be able to drum up new business for your company, or connect with another company and strike up a business relationship that can provide for both parties.
The value of online social networking can not go unmentioned as people are taking advantage of newer technologies to promote their businesses and get noticed. Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, blogging, and interactive websites are all valuable marketing tools that can reach hundreds or thousands of people in seconds. Each digital forum allows for consumers and businesses to interact which brings an added value to the information being provided. Additionally, many of these online tools can be accessed for free, allowing for new and improved marketing initiatives or promotion in any economic climate.
Connector has two major networking events in the next few weeks, Connector Launches was yesterday and we hope you made loads of connections! Christmas Connector is on 10/12. Join us and take advantage of the melting pot of social and business connections available at each event!
