Frank WhartonWhere are the Clowns?
One thing is for sure, you can’t accuse the members of our network of lacking imagination. In response to Adrians request for members to bring a visual prop for our intros, we had everything from a miniture Robyn Reliant (Frank Wharton Accountant) to pictures of skydivers (Gerard Duggan – Financial advisor) to monopoly money (Spiralli) and even an empty wallet was produced by Laura of Credit Control Services who had to think on her feet.
However, the prize for most effort must go to Tír Na Nóg who dressed one of the lads up as Nógie the clown to promote her birthday parties. Not only did this bring great fun to the event but yours truely made a few bob by threatening to post picture of Nógie on Facebook.
After that, it was down to business and views were swopped on what marketing was working for our businesses and what wasn’t. Although different techniques worked for different business models, the common thread that emerged was that if it wasn’t correctly targeted, it was a waste of our very valuable time!
