I just got back from our national conference at 'thebestof' down in Coventry -what a great event. The one thing (and only thing!) I miss not working for a big corporation are the annual 'get togethers'
It was an all day conference during whcih the franchisor of 'thebestof' announced the launch of some great new marketing initiatives (not sure how they kept it 'all under wraps' for so long-but worth the wait.
From May 2010, our Business Members will have a fully automated online quotation system for their products and services. Web visitors will be able to, at the click of a button, request a quote from any business listed on 'thebestofpreston'.
Better still(in my view) as of May 2010, all of our Business Members will be able to have a video web recording on their web feature of either themselves or one of their delighted customers, talking for 60-90 seconds on their business - truly powerful marketing !
...and there's the option to have this done quickly, cost effectively and easily by us or they can use our nominated Video Production Company (Capture 1) to make it a real masterpiece visually.
I'm sending out all the details on these new features over the next few days.
There was of course an evening 'do' - what a great night ! very memorable and a great opportunity to meet the other 300+ franchisees from around the country including 'thebestof' The Isle of man and 'thebestofguernsey'
