Drive Traffic to your Business with an Open House

We encourage Enterprise Wheat Ridge members to schedule open houses at their businesses.  Good way to get folks in the door to see what and where you do your business.  If you don’t want to do it alone, find a business that could co-host with you.  We have lots of service businesses who don’t have a physical location but would also like to showcase their service and products so think outside the box.  Let us know and we can put your event in the Tuesday Tidbits.  Check the Enterprise Wheat Ridge calendar to make sure something else isn’t going on around town that might conflict date-wise if you want other E WR members to attend!

Leverage your marketing budget

Need some new places to market your business?  Make an appointment with Denise Stephens of the Jeffco Business Resource Center.  She can help with targeted marketing, give you ideas about how your business ranks on Google and Yahoo, etc.  Best of all it’s free.  Contact her today to make an appointment.  www.jeffcobrc.org

August 10 is primary election day and also elections at E WR meeting for our board so please try to attend.  We have a great slate of board members and we are starting to form committees to increase membership and participation of member businesses.

“Fundamentals of Business Success,”
Did you know … we’ve reached a goal of 200+ members? At times it was a challenging and daunting number however, through the efforts of many We Did It! Thanks to everyone who spread the word and sold others on the benefits of joining E WR.
This said, the past several weeks I’ve talked with many of you and learned your business is in need of a boost, asking for suggestions. My first question is always the same … Are you networking and talking with past clients, asking for referrals? Easy question yet, difficult for many of us to put into practice, isn’t it? Well … may I remind you that you have all of us at E WR ready and willing to be your Sales Force! Of course, for us to do this, it’s best if we see you and have your business in the front of our mind.
Join us at the June meeting so we can sell you this month … and meet many of our new members! We do have a Community Events segment during our program. If you have an Open House, Special Service/Discount or New Product you want others to know about, let me know and I’ll be certain we get the word out.
Why wait, register now for the June 8 meeting: Time: 7 a.m.-8:45 a.m. at the Wheat Ridge Rec Center, 4005 Kipling.
