A B2B (Business to Business) function is hosted by a CECC member organisation and gives the host company an opportunity to promote their products and/or services, and to network with other Employers' Chamber members and other selected guests.
Through our membership database CECC has the ability to target specific sector groups. Generally B2B networking events are aimed at smaller groups of members (from 30 to 70) with a focus on a specific sector group.
Organisations targeted may include:
- Potential customers within an industry sector
- Potential customers by size of business (based on number of employees)
- Potential customers by selecting staff responsible for certain areas e.g international trade, finance etc.
- Potential customers by international trade status e.g exporters/importers to particular countries
The Canterbury Employers' Chamber of Commerce will
- Work with the host to prepare a marketing flyer for the event
- Work with the host to find a suitable venue to host the event
- Distribute the advertising flyer to all relevant members of CECC
- Liaise with the host in the lead up to the event regarding attendees to-date
- Further promote the event via website listing and electronic e-newsletter
- Provide guidelines for the host with regards to presentation, appropriate catering and hosting
- Provide the host with a list of attendees
- Send confirmations to all attendees
- Provide each guest with a personalised name badge (including host company logo)
- Advise the host of appropriate signage and advertising material
- Manage registrations on the day
The host will
- Cover the cost of everything associated with this event including (and not limited to) venue hire, catering and beverage costs, and audio visual equipment hire. In addition to this, there is a $900.00 + GST administration charge from the Employers' Chamber for the services detailed above.
Format:
- The function lasts for two hours, on average, and can take the form of a breakfast or evening networking event. Guests receive a presentation from the host around 30 minutes after arrival, including product information and samples. Typically there is a business card draw, with a prize offered by the host. The purpose of the business card draw is to make the event attractive to members and to provide the host with an accurate record of those who attended the event so that the host may follow up with attendees.
Benefits
This is a great way to promote your business directly to other CECC members or to attend as a guest to learn about the host organisation's business, enjoy their hospitality and network with other members.
