Thanks to everyone who came to the OCC this morning. I really enjoyed it. I hope we managed to solve a few problems and get you motivated for the next month. I am delighted to hear all your good news. If you have good tidings to report sent it on and I will put it up on the site.
A big welcome to new members Beverly, Paul and Brenda. Lovely to meet you this morning.
See you all again at our next meeting on the 28th August.
Enjoy the long weekend,
All the best,
Mary
Come join us for our July meeting this Friday at 9.30 am in the D Hotel. Let us know what’s been going on with you since our last meet up.
This time we thought we’d try something a bit different as a way to introduce new members to those who are old hands at this stage!
Each member will introduce yourself; give a brief description about your company/service. Tell us about one positive thing you accomplished this month and one thing you need help or advice on. This way we will get everyone talking and maybe solve a few conundrums as well.
If you are a newcomer, welcome and you will recognise us by the large oversized Coffee Mugs on our table in the D coffee dock.
Looking forward to it
All the best,
Mary
Thanks to Angela of the Drogheda Independent, the OCC Drogheda hit the headlines today. The article extols the virtues of networking and working in partnership with other businesses. It also highlighted some recent publicity gained by OCC members.
Unfortunately, not everyone was mentioned but I tried my best. Thanks again to everyone who turned out and those who sent best wishes. Cheers to Fran for the quick pit stop on the way to Dublin to drop off our OCC mugs.
Let’s hope this publicity helps the club to grow and prosper.
See you all at our next meeting in the D Hotel on the 31st of July.
This week we hear form Shane Cowley and Annette Matthews. Shane writes about how the OCC helped to develop a great business relationship and promote their business. Continued success to Shane and Shugal, amazing what can happen when can do people get together. Photographs thanks to Cowley Photography and Shugal.
“Myself and Annette met for the first time just over a month ago at the first OCC Drogheda meeting. We swapped cards and I noticed that she might require some good quality product photography. She spotted that I offered photography services for commercial, press and pr needs. On chatting we both realised we could be of help to each other. I offered Annette a complimentary sample shoot to show her ways in which her shoe clip products could be presented. The shoot went very well and by the time I showed Annette the photos we were planning the next shoot and future advertising shoots, as well as ideas for brochures and catalogues that she is planning to produce.
To cut a long story short, having met and chatted at the first OCC Drogheda meeting we developed a good relationship and are in touch with each other regularly planning future shoots together.
By the time the second OCC meeting came about, Annette had almost doubled the number of retailers stocking her product; Shugal had been featured on Xpose and national newspapers and magazines. To add to this by the time the Third monthly meeting happens at the end of July, Annette and I will have completed two photo shoots together and she may even have big news about potential investors who she has recently met with”.
Good news travels fast! I was speaking to Angela McCormack of the Drogheda Independent today for an article about our Open Coffee Club . A picture is worth a thousand words, so if you are free on Friday morning come along and be featured in the photo that will adorn the article in the next issue of the Drogheda Independent.
What is required: OCC Drogheda members
Why: For some great publicity and to publicise our club to new members
Time: 11.15am Friday 10th July
Location: D Hotel Coffee Dock
Thanks for your help and looking forwad to seeing you on Friday morning.
