GREAT DISCOVERY EVENING AT ROSSINI'S on 20th MAY

It was great to get together with more local businesses who are proud of what they do and were happy to share why they are great examples of the best of Droitwich.

Rossini's looked after us beautifully again with a lovely, welcoming and relaxed atmosphere and excellent food.

I know quite a few people were so impressed they had seconds and I believe that thirds were also taken!

A great testament to the quality of the food and the relaxed environment.

We shared a presentation outlining some of the 32 different stratgies available to members to help them market their businesses and a lively question and answer session followed.

First time visitors are allowed to stay for the MEMBERS MEETING (so they can see some of what they will get on joining!) and this is the time to share some ideas, education and really helping members to work together.

POTENTIALMEMBERS really enjoyed it for a number of reasons - here's a summary of just a selection of feedback from the last couple of sessions:

* it's great to get chance to find out more in a comfortable, relaxed, way
* I didn't realise you could offer so much to members
* we were so well looked after - made to feel welcome - and the food was excellent!
* I knew a little bit about thebestof but this gave me a much clearer idea
* now I can see how it will work for me

MEMBERS loved it too - again a small selection of feedback:

* this is what I've been needing for ages
* you are like a Marketing Department for me
* I can't believe how much business I've picked up in just a couple of weeks!
* My membership has already been paid for many times over!
* I don't normally like networking but this is completely different
* It's great how we all get on so well and really help each other
* It's good to know that you're there to help us make the most of membership
* Can't believe it's so easy - I'm picking up more business from other members!
* Thanks for helping us put our offers together

So, I hope this gives you some idea of how these evenings are working.

Each month we're running a DISCOVERY SESSION (check out our page on An Evening with thebestofdroitwich).   It's chance for local business owners to come and Discover what we are all about.

And we have monthly MEMBERS SESSIONS too.  That gives members chance to get to know each other, build strong relationships, create and share great offers and find more ways to make the most of their membership.

And of course, to let the potential members know how it works, what their experience has been and why it's working for them.

We are really excited about being part of re-energising the best local businesses.

So tell us . . . who do you love in Droitwich and who are THE BEST businesses that we should be talking to?

We want to help them get active on thebestofdroitwich so that we can share their offers and their services with the local people.
