Mastering the Mixer – Engage with Local Business Owners
MIXERS
Mixers provide an excellent opportunity to meet and greet other local business owners. Mixers are hosted by local organizations, and have an opportunity to showcase their services to the community. Unless otherwise noted, there is no cost to attend. Chamber members are invited to host a mixer. Please Contact us for information!
The Secret is Out…
“I took a leap of faith when I saw a FB post by the Sooke Chamber of Commerce that they were hosting a Business Boost session. I’m a very “shy” writer, and so I brought a press release that I wrote about a month ago and showed it to them. They were so professional, straight to the point and they understood my mission. Not only did they help me edit my piece, they were so encouraging that they even introduced me that day to the Sooke News Mirror! They not only helped me edit my piece but they were so encouraging and helped me remember my own purpose, my big “why” of doing this kind of work. Thank you so much Kerry and Corey for your help. I encourage all those awesome entrepreneurs to come out to the next Business Boost! And by the way, my press release got printed up by the Sooke Pocket News and soon to be released, with an interview by our local newspaper! Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“A great board of amazing people who want to see Sooke flourish and our businesses succeed. Thank you to each and everyone of you for all the hard work you do.”
