Shally B For UTC: Unite This City Business Worked For Me

Growing a small business, beautybybrown, on my own was one of the hardest things I've ever done. My advertising budget has been low and, as a result, I've experienced a small amount of growth. Little did I know that one phone call from a dear friend would change the way I did things-- forever. That phone call was from Brandy Bright a representative of Unite This City. She explained the company's goal, spoke about building a stronger community and caught my attention with the fun factor. My response, "So let me get this straight... I join the movement, help my community, save money on advertising and network with other small business owners? I'm sold". Check out this short video clip below, it breaks it down for you!

I attended a few events with UTC and initially it seemed too good to be true. I eventually came to understand that UTC is a company that truly does stand behind their community and I was ready to sign on the dotted line. I just had one more event I wanted to attend before making it official: a session on business appreciation. I wanted the opportunity to network with some of the businesses that were already apart of the movement and network, I did! More than 200 local business owners were in attendance. I landed two new accounts and have been growing ever since! I would have networked more on my behalf but the night belonged to Unite This City and I was ready to get back to work.

These business appreciation events are a real treat because you are well taken care of, entertainment is always provided and Unite This City really cares about you moving N.E. Ohio forward. Everyone wants to help everyone and they share the same level of excitement. I started to see a lot of cross- marketing and businesses working together to help each other grow.

I have posted pictures from three events that were so much fun and really helped put me on the map. If you are a small business owner, I encourage you to set up an appointment with one of the fine employees from UTC. They will give you more details on how Unite This City will change the way you do business. It is truly amazing!
