July 2014 - The Party ReduX

Have you finished culinary school but have not landed your syndicated cooking show? It’s 2014! Time to start your dream journey. The next stage may be as an independent contractor in the Brassbull Catering Network.

Here is your seat at the table that you need to take your independent catering services to the next level.

It’s been said that new innovative ideas require old buildings or warehouses. The Brassbull Catering Network has a shared workspace opening for a brash, emergent caterer in an old bank building on High Street. Not a job, but an opportunity to build your business in a safe haven.

We’ve made the office equipment, information technology and telecommunication investments that you don’t have to make. All this was created just so you can continue to focus on your business growth.

There’s more. If you like to decorate as much as you cater parties or weddings, then you’re in luck. We’re building an in-house party décor and catering inventory, as a commission-based boost to your income potential.

If you see yourself as an emerging off-premise caterer and can picture yourself in that seat, email me at thepartyredux@gmail.com. Together, we may bring innovative ideas out of an old building to new clients.

When it’s time to get immersed in your industry, where do you go? Where do you go to sharpen your skills and gain new ideas?

For me it was on the WeddingWire World Tour. The 2014 event I attended was in Washington DC after Fathers Day. This all day event refueled my interest in serving the wedding market, introduced me to some of the current industry thought leaders, and I found a treasure of ideas I can adopt for my business.

I also got to meet some of the leadership team at WeddingWire, my choice of the bridal portal and destination for brides and grooms- to-be. Of particular value was meeting my aligned WeddingWire account manager. She and I reviewed my storefront, advertizing and actionable business tools, that I’ll put in place to make your customer experience exceptional. Some examples are “contact us” and “make an appointment” buttons on every page of my website. Also I’ve added “customer reviews” on every website page.

It was great to meet, discuss, and live the dream with other wedding industry participants. I was thrilled by the networking opportunities. As a group they were focused to learn and shared experience and insights with me. The foundations for long term relationships and shared resources were set in place. These new resources will be further developed for my clients and partners.

I can’t wait to bring some real thought leadership back from our nation’s capital, into our area in general, and the local wedding marketplace in particular. I benefitted from the 2014 WeddingWire World Tour and my clients will too, during our engagements.
