Recap: Networking at Noon on 3/27

4/3/2020

 
Networking and connecting with businesses in the community remains critically important. The Chamber is working to bring businesses together to continue growing their network – virtually! We’ll be holding Zoom networking events and seminars every week to continue providing the benefits members have come to expect. Check out our calendar for up-to-date information about upcoming programs and events.
 
Here’s a peak into last Friday’s Networking at Noon conversation:
 
Attendees had a chance to introduce themselves and share what services their businesses are currently offering. The discussion shifted to how to best support one another, as well as how to pivot to be successful and generate income during this time.
 
Some key tips were shared, including:
  • Personal touch in client relations is so important! Try customized gifts/baskets or personalized communication.
  • Social media and Google reviews are key during this time. The more positive reviews your business has on Google, the closer to the top of the search results you will be. Also, some GoogleMyBusiness features are limited right now because of COVID-19; any issues you have may be from that!
  • It is essential for local businesses to support one another during this time. If you order food, try making a Facebook post about the restaurant or leaving them a review so others know they are open.
 
Two events have been scheduled as a result of this conversation! Join us for:
 
4/8 @ noon: Top 5 Small and Medium-Sized Business Social Media Tips from IdeaFire Consulting
4/9 @ 4:30 - Virtual Off the Clock + Specialty Cocktail Class with Silver
​
Let us know if you have any tips on how to help support fellow businesses during this time, or if you have an idea for a seminar topic.
