[OMS_MANAGERS] Good morning

Hi Kelly!


I don't know if this would be of interest, but wanted to share with others as well.  I'm looking at possible doing a workshop that helps them build business, with segments on branding, window displays, business plans, etc, with speakers, along with a little speed dating type of activity where they get to know each other on a more fun level face to face.  Thinking throwing in a drawing for a basket full of goodies from the businesses would be fun too.

That way everybody learns about how to better their business, about each other and have fun!

Subject: [OMS_MANAGERS] Good morning

I'm looking for ideas to get our business owners working together.  Activities I can employ to start a "bonding" process.  :)
Want to build camaraderie!

We have a bit of an "us vs. them" mentality among a few.

Remembering that we have only about 6-8 business in our downtown, we lack the ability to have the normal "after hours cocktail parties to loosen folks up.  (with so few people).

Thoughts for possible training opportunities?
Shared events that are not "contests"?  (I've been told by a few they don't like contests, ie:  holiday window displays etc).

I think it boils down to a bit of education that shows them that the more prosperous their neighbor is, the more prosperous THEY will be.

Thanks much!

Kelly
