Islandpreneurs up and running – Membership website
Islandpreneurs Guernsey Business Networking Group
The Islandpreneurs is a Guernsey-based business networking group for entrepreneurs and business owners and the new membership website has been created for collaboration, ideas and information sharing.
What do Islandpreneurs do?
We meet every month at the Digital Greenhouse to discuss our business projects, share ideas and challenges, gain advice and information and motivate each other!
Benefits of the membership website
The new website has been designed to grow the group and find new members.
The group are friendly and committed who recognise the importance of gaining industry knowledge and local information from others to help grow our businesses, so more members will offer more benefits.
We will be focusing on a topic each month that we want to learn more about i.e. Insurance, Social Media Ads, running Webinars.
The Membership website will take payments for events and meetings and give paid members access to important documents.
The benefit of the website will also display event and meeting information.
More than just networking
Networking groups come in all different forms. I am from the UK so I have experience of four different networking groups with the main theme of 'gaining referrals'.
My requirement from a networking group is to 'gain knowledge' and 'form lasting business relationships with people I can trust'. I find this to be more beneficial to my business.
Referrals are naturally very important and will come from joining the Islandpreneurs, but gaining referrals will not be a requirement for our members.
Islandpreneurs looking for commitment
We are looking for new members to join us who are as committed as we are in taking this group forward.
Use the membership website to join us today
Our next meeting is on 21st October 2016 so if you would like to come along then please contact us.
Conclusion - Membership website
For any type of group it is a good idea to create a fully featured membership website so people can join, pay, and have access to all the event details and meeting minutes etc.
The site can also have a Forum so members can chat to each other, rather than on social media.
