The Best of Marlow - 24th March 2010 The Best of Marlow is all about finding and promoting the best businesses in Marlow and the surrounding area. We meet potential clients to chat to them about how we can help and support their business. We ask for testimonials, and once they are business members we encourage businesses to gain more testimonials from their clients and customers with our branded postcards. Our business members are featured on our website www.thebestof.co.uk/marlow along with their testimonials. Our business members also promote their companies by posting special offers. These are also sent once a week to our database. We send 3 newsletters to our database, a fortnightly business newsletter that goes out to our business database. Two other newsletters go out to our entire database weekly. One is our Special Offers newsletter and the other is our events newsletter. All these newsletters feature our business members on a rotational basis. We hold regular networking evenings. These take the form of an informal early evening gathering where you can talk and get to know other business owners over a glass of wine and nibbles. There may be a presentation and you will be given an attendee list. We will be happy to introduce you to people you may wish to meet. We call ourselves "word of mouth" specialists. We are meeting businesses all the time and as well as thebestofmarlow we also own thebestofhenleyonthames and thebestofmaidenhead. We often put businesses in touch with each other. We are asked if we know of particular businesses and we know so many we can usually help. In fact we use the businesses ourselves and have an extensive address book. Social media has also enabled us to expand this concept further. We add regular bogs that are fed to our Twitter account @gillianchappell if you want to follow me. We also tweet about business members too. Earlier I mentioned our events page. We feature events run by our business members but we are also very happy to add events for non-profit organisations. You can do this yourself by registering on the site. For more information, please contact me.
