Is your business a fantastic Norwich business? Are you proud of what you do? Then speak to us about our bestof Norwich advertising. As a recommended Norwich business you will benefit from a range of Norwich marketing solutions from web, social media and email promotion, to use of our "as recommended on" logo as part of your "bestof Norwich" marketing mix.
Do you want people to know how good you are?
Thebestofnorwich showcases and promotes recommended Norwich businesses.
If you are a Norwich business or a Norfolk business looking for Norwich clients, then we have a range of advertising and marketing ideas that will work for you.
Offering a complete marketing mix, we take the stress from you, and save you time - all at a very reasonable cost.
How do we do that?
Well, there are two ways that we save you money and help you promote your business:
Firstly, we are part of the bestof group of franchisees, so we have the buying power of a large organisation - there are over 350 of us in the UK. We are able to tap into a top of the range website and infrastructure, pick up tips for our clients from other franchisees around the country and still give our clients a very personal service as committed owners of the Norwich bestof.
Secondly, you are dealing with the owners of the Norwich franchise, so you are dealing with two business owners - Sara and Chris - who are passionate about what they do, rather than employed sales people who are just looking to make commission.
Our business is privately funded so we have full commitment as business owners, to making our marketing solutions work for our clients.
We have always taken a long term view to building our business and maintaining relationships with our clients - which is why we limit the number of businesses that we deal with. We want to get to know you and keep in touch with you.
Because it is our business, and we are recommending the people that we feature, we have a rule - "no grumpy people"!
So, if you're looking for run of the mill advertising, don't come to us.
If, on the other hand, you want to be featured as one of only 5 recommended Norwich businesses, with flexible marketing and advertising options, pick up the phone or e-mail us to arrange a meeting.
We meet everyone before we take them on board, and then ask for two references.
Your Norwich marketing and advertising package will include:
and, as well as this web promotion, we will help you to market your business by utilising:
Give us a ring on 01603 605530 or email norwich@thebestof.co.uk and we would love to meet you for a coffee and a chat.

With all the furore over horse meat being found in more and more products, we thought it was a timely reminder that when we buy from a local butcher, not only are we keeping more money in the local economy, but we will have a pretty good idea of where the meat came from -and it's more tasty too....

latest reviews
I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the work Sara puts in for The Best of. The reason it has such credibility (and such success) is largely down to her efforts.
Sara is incredibly helpful and kind, as well as hard working and passionate about supporting Norwich businesses
It is very hard to quantify the service that Sara & Chris provide and it would be wrong to try and categorize what they do. As a small business I cannot compete with large-budgeted nationals, all I can do is to the best that I can and let word spread about the quality of my service. That is where Sara & Chris come in ! With their help, networking events, B2B guidance & general door-opening, I can reach individuals, businesses and the general public with my message, with positivity and confidence. The testimonial feature is my favourite part as it is purely what customers think of my service which The Best Of Norwich vet & not a watered down testimonial feature on my own website. That is the strongest marketing tool that I can provide and with Best Of Norwich and the tireless efforts of Sara and Chris my business can only grow locally and indeed nationally. Thanks you guys !
Excellent event at Clapham and Collinge - you guys are the masters of networking!!!
'Thank you for putting on such a delightful event. The Lunch on the Green was rather like a mid summer party only a bit later in the year and the weather was very pleasant for spending time outside. I also managed to go inside for a hand massage from Kimberley Dawn Carpenter which was excellent. My hands were really relaxed at the end of the session and she spent extra time on the two places that relate to the shoulders and lower back, which is just where I store tension. I will be back for more.
Sara is lovely to work with and gives great value by eliciting details and promoting businesses in unique and creative ways
Sara and Chris are brilliant at running Bestof Norwich. I'm constantly amazed at how much effort and energy they put in to promoting the companies they list, and how good their events are. I would recommend that everyone work with them, but if everyone did, that'd somewhat take away from the fact that they only showcase the very best!
Both Chris and Sara and a delight to work with, they are a like minded couple who take pride in what they do and how they do it. We would recommend anyone to promote thier business through Sara and Chris who are hard working, have a very high intergrity, very very personable and are always coming up with great new ideas to promote thier clients business. We have and will continue to enjoy working with them and look forward to a very long and lasting future with them, keep up the great work guys! Pippa Redmond Kall kwik Norwich
Sara and Chris at The Best Of Norwich are amongst some of the most professional yet personable people I have had the pleasure of working with in the past three years. They always exceed my expectations and really do go that extra mile for their customers
National Express East Anglia looked on The Best Of website for training companies to provide a Sales and Customer Service training programme to increase their profits. It was confirmed on Monday, 1st March 2010 that we have successfully won the Sales and Customer Service training for 50 staff! We would like to thank The Best Of for their continuous support and service, and especially Sara and Chris Greenfield for their professionalism.
I joined âThe Best of Norwichâ around October last year. Iâm always very sceptical about advertising companies trying to sell me something. Maybe youâre like me and get several calls a week â each one takes away precious time from your business trying to get you to advertise in this or that publication. What little of this I have done hasnât really worked for me. Meeting Sara has made a refreshing change â I have found that Sara is always connecting people. Itâs not a case of once youâre signed up youâre forgetten â being signed up to promote myself on âThe Best of Norwichâ was just the beginning. Almost every time I see Sara she mentions someone else I could talk to, or have potential of a joint venture with. A couple of weeks ago Sara suggested running an offer in the weekly newsletter and I had someone sign up to Tap Yourself Slim as a direct response to that advert â and then yesterday without me mentioning it again, my offer was re-run. I had a call from a prospect at 6.50pm â the lady came along to my class, albeit a little late, and later signed up to my 10 week programme. I highly recommend advertising with The Best of Norwich â Both Sara and Chris do their very best to show case and promote each of their clients.
The Best of Norwich is brilliant. Chris and Sara really do take word of mouth to the next level - they are at the centre of Norwich's networking world, and as a small business, we have found them to be incredibly supportive. I met Sara and Chris a while before our business joined as a member, and already saw how much they had to contribute to Norwich's small businesses. Now that we are members, I see how true that really is.
What can I say. Well how much do you value good marketing? Top class is in abundance from Chris and Sara. Don`t waste money advertising for no returns. Get what you want loads of interest in your business. Get on The Best Of Norwich and let these two plug and plug you until they drop. Fantastic for new and old QUALITY businesses who want and can handle more work. I did and do keep busy. Paul from Diploma Services Ltd
Thank You Chris and Sara for all the extra care they take to make sure we get the Best out of the Best of Norwich. If you are not in it you need to be John Keen

Chris and Sara run their networking lunches and events so professionally and organise to the max. It is always an eye opener to go along and meet more business owners who want to expand their network of clients. After the meetings you feel excited and have such a buzz about your own business and others you meet. SUPERB
....And a very sincere thanks to you guys for inviting us. We thoroughly enjoyed the event and even secured a couple of leads! We will be contacting all the attendees to follow up. Looking forward to the next one!!! Best regards Simon
I just wanted to say what a great event it was on Tuesday. I really liked the idea of the Scalextric and thoroughly enjoyed my massage, âwhat a treat!â. The food was perfect, and just the right size for networking. It was definitely the best organised networking event I have been to in a long time, and you even got the Sun to shine just at just the right moment. Well done you.
Many thanks for your hard work. A very worthwhile lunch out, Initially I was reluctant to go however the day was extremely beneficial. There was so many different businesses there unlike similar I have attended in the past where most people are from the same sector. Kind regards Rachael
Dear Chris and Sara Thanks for the invite to and organising of the excellent networking event at Clapham & Collinge today. Was well worth attending and met some good people. Nice surprise to meet Jon `Jono' Thaxton and a very pretty, friendly solicitor (lady). And good to know that any profits are going to a great cause in EACH. I got the impression that C&C partners were very happy with the event too. John B IFA
Hi Chris and Sara Thanks for a great event today, well done! Made some interesting new contacts - Great stuff. Kate E, Active MD
Thank you ever so much for organizing such a wonderful event and please pass my thanks to all those at Clapham & Collinge who organized and tended to us today. Their hospitality and friendliness was very welcoming for someone who walked into a room of mostly strangers ! It was a fantastic day and has rekindled my love for such events, and now that I have myself well and truly ready to introduce myself to Norfolk, I look forward to attending as many networking meetings as possible. Dan Banana Fudge Studios
It was an excellent event. Look forward to hearing about the next one. Thanks and regards Ian
Just a quick note to say thanks for Tuesday, Terry and I both enjoyed the event and it was a good opportunity to meet a few new faces. We also got to try out a sample neck massage so that was an added bonus I guess! Thanks again and speak to you soon
