Have you been networking for your business this year? We know it feels like the last thing you have time for or want to do, but FIRST you must plant the seed so it can grow! Here are a few tips on how you can make networking work for you this year:

🌱Research and pick a few groups to visit, we suggest checking out local chambers of commerce, business associations and other dynamic, local networking groups
🌱Make sure the day, time and frequency of the meetings match your availability and goals
🌱Set clear goals for these networking efforts, these can include expanding your customer base, increasing brand awareness, or establishing partnerships with other local businesses
🌱Add these meetings to your calendar and block that time! 
🌱Attend one or two meetings and see if you connect with the people there and if you like the philosophy and vibe of the group
🌱Make sure to have business cards and be prepared to talk about your business (it’s a great time to perfect your elevator speech!)
🌱Take photos there with other businesses who are active on social media and TAG them, this is great content and a way for you to expand your reach on your feed!
🌱Link in with anyone you meet after the meeting to continue and grow the relationship!
🌱Choose one or two groups you will attend on a regular business for this business year and get to know this group intimately. You never know how it will pay off!

By integrating local networking into the business's goals and actively seeking out opportunities to connect with other businesses in the community, small businesses can build strong relationships, increase visibility, and ultimately grow their customer base! Give it a try and let us know if you need some local groups to try!
