National Small Business Week

It is important to have time where you can grow skills and network with other business owners.

This is a must event!

Brief Detail from the website...
National Small Business Week
Small Business: Driving America's Economy
May 23 - 25 Washington, DC
Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has proclaimed National Small Business Week to recognize the contributions of small businesses to the economic well-being of America. As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration recognizes this special impact made by outstanding entrepreneurs and small business owners. In 2010, National Small Business Week will honor the estimated 27.2 million small businesses in America. Small businesses are major contributors to the strength of the American economy. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business. They also create 60-80 percent of new jobs in the country. Small businesses drive innovation, create 21st century jobs and increase U.S. competitiveness.

Be aware!

Be a Great Vendor at Events...

Summer is around the corner and if you are a product based company you are looking for ways to market and promote your products to new customer. This is especially true if you are making your own products that cater to women.

We want to provide a few tips to remember when you decide to become a vendor for an event.

Know what you are paying for. What is included in the vendor fee? For example the host/hostess is offering:
Marketing on flyers, email blast, press releases
Table
Refreshments

Create a plan to make the most of the opportunity. Once you have decided to become a vendor for a certain event it is time for you to create the plan of:
Sales and promotions you will be offering
Tracking plan (how to capture information from each person that stops by your location
Promotion tactics you will use for your current clientele

Communicate with the host/hostess. Stay on top of what is being done to promote your business and the event so that you get the most from vending. You can also use any information that is published for your portfolio or website.

Be on point. Before the event have your team in place, supplies (business cards, flyers, email list, etc), packages, and a variety of inventory.


Just by including these things in your decision and plan for being a vendor of an event you will increase your sales opportunity and also get informed of more events that can increase your revenue.

Happy Saling!
