The Inafishbowl Business Clinic Live event took place last week
at Nottingham Business Ventures headquarters at Enterprise House in
Nottingham.
Inafishbowl experts and featured businesses met to discuss the
many challenges facing small businesses in the region today
including those faced by the businesses featured on the webumentary
website, www.inafishbowl.com.
The event was attended by key small business decision makers in
the region alongside a panel of experts featured on the site
including internet marketing consultant Susan Hallam from Hallam
Communications, PR consultant Greg Simpson from Press for Attention
PR, teamwork specialist Rosie Garwood from Reflection Consulting,
Steve Marjoram from RSM Tenon and Gavin White from Fraser Brown
Solicitors.
The lively interactive debate covered issues including managing
cash flow, websites management, online and offline PR, social
enterprise and team working online.
Carl Benfield - Prescient Power
"For me, the best answers were to the questions everyone else
was asking, and that I had never thought of in the first place.
I guess this lies at the heart of what makes Inafishbowl such
a great project."
Mike Hunter - betterlanguages.com
"We found the expert advice on both online and offline marketing
extremely helpful, especially Susan Hallam's comment about the
danger of being "technology led" with website improvements, rather
than customer led."
Amanda Waring - Mama Jewels
"I was quite nervous about the evening, but actually really
enjoyed the experience. The advice from the experts at the Business
clinic live was invaluable, they have highlighted new avenues to
explore for Mama Jewels and really addressed some of the challenges
that our small but evolving business is facing and I particularly
loved the audience participation."
