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”.
