Either way here is our top reasons for why your business should have an event!
1. New relationships: Hosting an event is perfect for bringing all your existing clients to one place, but an event also gives you the opportunity to invite people you would like to work with. An open invitation can be suitable to some events, which can also be tailored to target a certain industry or location. Your event would allow you to socialise with all these new people & build relationships!
2. Build your database: Building your mailing list with suitable data can often be a tricky business. At your event you can have a business card drop where you can gather everyone’s details and add them to your contacts and database with notes, problem solved!
3. Brand awareness: There is no doubt that an event can build your brand awareness. The most powerful tricks are to use hashtags that all your guests can add to their own posts about your event. Also having your team present at your event to promote your brand will show your brand in a positive light.
4. Showcasing new projects: A new product or service can be hard to promote, but with all your target audience in one place an event is the perfect opportunity to showcase your new product or service. Plus an event can also add buzz to your existing products.
5. Media opportunity: Get the press involved! Doing some charity work? Got a new exciting product? Business anniversary? Getting the media involved can be really powerful exposure to your target audience and is basically free advertising!

No better way to promote your business.
You get very accustomed to having things your own way when you’re an event manager. You have to lavish everything with a huge dash of imagination to ensure your parties, gatherings and networking events stand out. Alongside which, you have to exhibit that precision and attention to detail, ensuring everything has that just-so flavour, acclimatising you to a certain standard of results. So I definitely found it difficult to hand over the reins to my friend, ‘Little Claire’, who I have known for a good fifteen years, to choose and plan everything for the day…
I was hoping that we’d be set to have a great day with nothing ordinary. If we had ended up doing something that we could do anywhere, I have to admit that I might been a little disappointed. I was worried Little Claire may get nervous and bogged down with the details about money and tickets, and as a result lose the focus on the big picture of making it memorable for everyone.
The big day…
All the girls had mucked in and put a real focus on the actual activities that we got involved in on the day and everyone had an amazing time, especially me and it was a nice job done even if it was different to how I would have done it. There was a delicious afternoon tea, then lots of crazy baby shower games, like tasting baby food, guessing baby items and sniffing chocolate in baby’s nappies. If only real nappies smelt that good!
Thank you to everyone who came to a bustling MORE Networking at The Wallow!
