Have you made your list? 
This is the time every year, people draw up lists of New Year's resolutions: lose weight, exercise, quit smoking. New Year offers us a sort of "restart" button. And how about your business?  Here are a few things to add to your lists if you haven't already:

1.  Network! (I know, you say you're already doing it), but this year, try to make it a point to attend at least one networking or committee event each week.  Chamber South events are the perfect way to meet people and develop close relationships.
(At a low cost and even free!)
2. Learn More.  Take advantage of the free seminars Chamber South offers its members.  These are an excellent way to learn new business ideas and network at the same time!
3.  Refer a member.  Referring another Chamber South member is a great way to support each other.   So if you have done business with any of the other members, refer them to others, and don't forget the testimonials!
4. Embrace Change. There's no question that business has been tough for a lot of people. But, businesses that embrace change will have many opportunities in a tough economy. Use it to your benefit. Together we can turn challenges into opportunities.
5.  Get Social. For low cost Marketing, don't forget to go Social.

TRUSTEE SPOTLIGHT

 

Frank Irias

Frank Irias    

Daisho Creative

Frank Irias' experience is a mixed bag. He's a marketing strategist who began as a graphic designer - a creative-turned-businessman. Who would have thought that his drawing scribble-scrabble as a kid would turn into a business?

Marketing is often seen as sales, however because he can't imagine anyone wanting to be sold to, he focuses on helping businesses build their unique value and communicate it to the right target - thus, he doesn't help businesses sell, he helps their target buy value that sells itself.

Over the last 16 years, Frank Irias has worked with big corporate accounts like University of Miami, Royal Caribbean, Burger King, Celebrity Cruises and Pollo Tropical. He has also helped smaller local brands like Ocean Reef Club, Gulliver Schools, Westminster Christian and even smaller businesses, including law firms, investment firms and developers. Frank Irias is happy to say that his references go back almost two decades.

Mr. Irias joined Chamber South in 2010 as a Jr. Trustee and quickly got involved in its rebranding.  Thanks to the opportunities provided by the board, Mary Scott and the Trustee Committee, what started as an image makeover turned into a full on strategy for 2011.

Part of Chamber's goal this year is to foster more business among members. To help move that goal further, Daisho is offering a complimentary marketing analysis designed to teach businesses a simple process to increase sales and ROI.

Contact Frank Irias at Daisho for your complimentary marketing analysis.
