LET'S MEET!
BIZhub members are invited to network with their business owner/operator peers at Westwood Candy Shoppe for our first BIZhub "MeetUp!" on Tuesday, May 16 at 5:00 pm.
This will be super casual, but we'll also share information about our Shop the Hub event scheduled for Saturday, June 10. Stop in to find out how to implement low/no-cost ideas to increase foot-traffic to your business that day, OR how to pair up with a non-downtown business to host a "pop-up" event in your store or on your sidewalk during the event! This networking event is designed for BIZhub members. Not a member yet? Join today, see info above!
P.S. -- Complementary participation in our Shop the Hub events (June and November) and related marketing/publicity around the events are just one of the many perks of BIZhub membership! Don't wait!
