Event Details

Selling and growing

As part of the British Library’s Cooking up success programme in July, Women Unlimited have put together  an event specifically for food producers and caterers.  This event is all about how to engage with your audience and your buyers. 

One of the key challenges that every food based business faces is getting more sales, particularly in these challenging economic times.   So we have brought together an inspiriing team of people who will run through their experiences and techniques that will help you get your products in front of customers.

What have we got for you?

A fantastic line-up of speakers

Claire Burnett of Chococo who will be sharing how she turned her passion for chocolate into a very successful business.   Chococo is a fantastic example of how you don’t need to reduce your prices to stay ahead of the game in the current climate.  They have managed not only to sell their luxury product consistently, but are also growing their business naturally.  Claire will share with you her learnings and pitfalls that they have experienced along the way.

Linda Williams who will be talking about how to use social media and food. From Facebook to Twitter via Flickr and blogs, the range of social media out there can seem daunting, but with an active food community online there are lots of opportunities to get your food business noticed. How do you decide which ones will be the most useful for you. This session will guide you through the range of social media and arm you with pointers as to how each can be best used and alert you to the pitfalls to avoid.

We will also have a farm shop buyer/deli buyer talk you through the buying process.  How and why they buy and what you can do to get your products on more shelves.

Why should you  come

This event is not for you if you already have more business than you can handle, but if you would like to find out how to build the relationships that can help you grow your business and sell more of your products then book early on this event as we only have 40 places available and they will go quickly.
