Welcome to SUMMER! Here are just a couple of quick updates. See you on the 19th of August!!!

Upcoming Events

As we are enjoying the summer, and so many Geekettes are taking advantage of the weather and going on vacation, we are not going to be holding a July networking meeting.  However, in August, we have been invited to join the BNI women for a special “Wine, Women and Chocolate” event. Hosted by Atlanta Bread Company at 675 Phoenix Drive, Virginia Beach, the event is an opportunity to network, mingle, bond, and do some business! Bring/invite your female friends and associates for a fun, tasty, productive evening among women of like minds. Make sure you register here!

A Couple of Promotional Opportunities

1) Blue Gypsy Blues Fest

There are still opportunities available to sponsor this event and promote your business to a great audience, in a cool and innovative way. Talk to Geekette – Leah Kaiz for more information. AND make sure you buy your tickets! This is going to be a fun and very cool event, and if you book your tickets before the end of July, you can get in on the Early Bird rate!

2) Bzibee Media – Podcasting Interviews

Alison Creamer is a leading video blogger and podcaster in Hampton Roads, along with being a star Realtor. She is offering Geekettes the chance to promote their business. She has grown her podcast subscription base from 200 subscribers to 750 in just 60days and is looking to interview anyone who works in a business that supports 4 walls and a roof – like title agents, insurance agents, contractors, etc. There is a small investment to promote your business using her podcasting campaigns, but it will give you great exposure, AND you can take the audio and republish it for your clients to hear as well. You can reach Alison at Bzibeemedia.com

3) Small Business Insight – SBI Magazine

Jessica Swink – our very own Literary Geekette – is the new editor of SBI, a new magazine focused on Small Business in Hampton Roads. In addition to the magazine, SBI is holding a number of events for small business owners, with some very high profile attendees. Check them out on Facebook, and on their website. And feel free to reach out to Jessica if you think you have an interesting story, if you can help promote SBI, or if there is any synergy between your business and SBI. They are all about collaboration – as are WE!
