        Swizzle Stick Presentation      

A large turnout enjoyed our guest speaker Laurie Guest on October 19th.  Attendees learned how "To Stir Up New Business" in a fun and informative manner.  Many points were made that all businesses need to know, or at least be reminded of, such as: What does your customer need that you don't offer, assumptions about your business, what is the best form of advertising, outgoing voicemail messages, networking events, and "Swizzle, Sizzle and Pop". Some of the comments made after Laurie's presentation were "would have liked it to be longer", "let's have more things like this", "loved it!"

I have good news for those of you who were unable to attend! Laurie has given us the password to download the information she presented from her website.  If you will update your member profile on the Chamber website, or add a HOT DEAL, job listing, or event, I will give you the password!  Just contact me and I will assist you.

 

Special THANKS to St. Francis Hospital for sponsoring Laurie and to Lincoln Land Community College for hosting the event!

Saturday, December 4

 

      Plan now to be a sponsor of the Christmas Parade and Shopping Spree!  We will kick-off the Shopping Spree on November 22nd and draw the winners on Parade Day, December 4th. The winners will then have time to spend their "Litchfield Bucks" all around town.  Shopping Spree boxes will be placed in every sponsor's business for customers to sign up (need not be a retail business to participate).  Sponsor's business name will be included in all advertising in area newspapers, radio and on our website. Major sponsors will be presented on Santa's float.

  

 ADOPT-A-WISHlogo 

 In lieu of the Adopt-A-Class program, we asked all the schools to "make a wish".  If you would like to help make a wish come true, you may choose to donate a portion or all of the wish.
