Event

Bookings have now closed for this event but if you would like to attend, please email us at ‘[email protected]’ We’ve changed the timings, but not the format! This networking West Norfolk get-together will be a summer lunch rather than our usual early start breakfast! Enjoy the sunshine (pre ordered) and network over a delicious lunch, with a choice of Quiche, Vegan PIe (sweet potato, spinach and mushroom) or a homemade vegetable Burger – all served with salad. Hear from our guest speaker, Kathy Ennis – author, entrepreneur and mentor. Her talk is entitled ‘Convert, Create, Engage: Turning Word of Mouth into Word of Mouse’ Ask business owners and you will often be told, word of mouth is still the most effective marketing method for any business. Or is it? Over 80% of consumers make their purchase decisions based on what they see online – even after a word of mouth recommendation by their best friend. So, how do we turn word of mouth into word of mouse?

ENAGEMENT

In this session Kathy Ennis will explain her Six-Step Social Visibility Plan; developed to help businesses boost engagement that turns their customers and connections into raving fans and word of mouse champions.

There’s a first time for everything… and this time we’re combining two as we do our first ‘Netwalking’ event at our first North Norfolk business breakfast! 

Held at the Hawk & Owl Trust, you’ll arrive for some networking with a morning tea or coffee and breakfast selection. Following a talk from the Hawk & Owl Trust on the hard work they do, you’ll be taken on a guided walk around the reserve to continue your conversations. 

Sculthorpe Moor Nature Reserve is a 53 acre site housing some of the UK’s rarest birds and mammals. Depending on the time of year visitors can see Marsh Harriers, Kites, several types of owl and huge numbers of songbirds. The reserve sits on the River Wensum, itself a rare chalk stream and home to Otters and Water Voles. With some 17,000 visitors each year it is a popular natural attraction.

Netwalking is an opportunity for you to improve your wellbeing through exercise and make new contacts in a natural setting. 

It’s Networking. Only better. And now sponsored by the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce.
