Our Small Business Mega-Mixer is coming up this Saturday! We're getting a lot of questions, so we're going to try to answer them here: What is the Mega-Mixer? It'll be a combination of small business expo & trunk or treat. It's an opportunity for small businesses to showcase their services, give out information, network with other business-owners, and make new connections with the community. Through our drive-in journey, we've met some incredible local businesses and entrepreneurs and want to use our platform and location to amplify their voices. We currently have 60+ vendors registered and anticipate more by the weekend. They span a wide variety of industries and we're looking forward to meeting everyone! When is it? Saturday, May 18, from 12-3PM. Registered vendors/businesses may arrive between 11 and 12 to set up their space. Is it open to the public? Absolutely! It will be open to the public from 12-3. Admission is free. Children and pets are welcome! I have a business. How do I sign up? It's FREE to sign up, we just request that you register ahead of time so we can make sure we have room for everyone. Each registration is for ONE PARKING SPACE. We are keeping about half the lot open for parking so the public can attend. The registration link is here: https://lnkd.in/gvfcSQ-4 Will there be food? Yes! We will have our drive-in snack bar open throughout the event with our full menu of tasty treats and meal options for purchase. How much space will each business have? You will have ONE parking space per business/organization, and your table & materials must fit within that space. You will not have access to a power hookup. Tents are OK as long as they fit within the parking space. What if it rains? This event will be held rain or shine, but right now it looks like the weather will be okay! If there is a weather emergency, we will make an announcement. This mixer is a first for us, so we're excited to see how it goes!

We’re excited to remind you that the Department of Public Administration has set up a brand-new information table in the hall of Garey Hall!

We can’t wait to see you there! #VillanovaPublicAdmin #GareyHall #StudentResources

What does it take to run a successful community pub? With over thirty years of experience as publicans, Alan and Sarah are the proud business owners of The Black Horse in Aylestone – an award-winning, much-loved pub at the heart of its local community. Alan and Sarah say: "The number one factor behind a successful pub is community — absolutely no doubt about it. It's so important to talk to the people and, more importantly, listen to them." Their advice is simple: "Immerse yourself in the community and take the time to understand your customers. Listen, learn, and invest your time. Building a thriving pub is like nurturing a relationship—you get out what you put in.

Hot topic right now, should be an excellent conversation among industry experts.

I used to host cheese and wine evenings....And no-one came! Over 14 years ago when we wanted to deepen our community within our coaching business we decided we needed more events for people to meet at. Here is how we managed to turn an "L" into something that strengthened peoples relationships and our business: • After being asked, what must have been 100 times, we scheduled an event for our clients to meet outside of their usual day to day: a Cheese & Wine night on a mid-week evening. Just me, my brother and one client who had just finished their session! • We didn't give up, but listened to reasons why clients couldn't be there, kept letting them know why they should attend...And stayed positive. • Consistently, week after week, we showed up, listened, and adapted. From one attendee, we grew to two, and soon we were running events in 5 locations at the same time, with hundreds of clients attending! I tell this story a lot, as it's stayed with me. If you listen to your "clients" and keep iterating...You WILL be successful, whether it's a community event or your own platform.
