Another 'Sweet Success' for Sisters In Business: Nov. 4 Fundraiser/Show Help Community Kitchen and Small Business What a wonderful day on November 4 it was for all of us (Chattanooga Community Kitchen, Business Vendors, Guests, and Sisters In Business.) at SIB’s 1st Annual Holiday Shopping Showcase & Business Expo! The event was truly a sweet success. I have received so many kudos and compliments about the vendors and the occasion: how wonderful, classy, and resourceful it was in terms of business networking opportunities, vendor merchandise, and more. A quick verbal survey yielded results by show of hands that practically every vendor sold merchandise on site. Further, some vendors reported gaining new customers/contacts, took orders for extended merchandise requests, and cultivated new business partnership leads and direct selling opportunities. Though people volume was somewhat low, there was a steady flow of great guests who brought food and money donations for the Chattanooga Community Kitchen, and spent money with the vendors. Highlights of the event included spotlighting each sponsor and vendor and giving them the opportunity to speak, in order to promote their message, mission, and/or business products and services. Mr. Hughes was among those who spoke at the event, and we appreciate him and his wife coming by to shop. Also, newly introduced with this showcase were the SIB “Blue-light Special Sales” and “Vendor Door Prize Entry” periods. The vendor promotional period along with the blue-light special and vendor door prize times have been given two thumbs up and greatly embraced by vendors. These features as well as the Online SIB Sneak-Preview to Showcase uniquely define SIB’s tradeshows. These features will also now become part of the SIB trademark and signature for future SIB shows, showing our difference and dedication to promoting business owners and their businesses. Another way of showing clients how Sisters In Business truly has a “heart and soul for taking care of business”. See links below to see more information about the event.

Sisters In Business The Solutions for Business. The Services for Customers. "The Heart & Soul of Taking Care of Business" Blankets Needed at The Chattanooga Community Kitchen

As can be seen on the Chattanooga Community Kitchen's website, "Every Night in Chattanooga 300 men, women, and children go to bed outside, hungry, and homeless. Another 250-300 pillow their heads in shelters. Thousands more, the near homeless, are within inches of losing everything. They are powerless, in need, and often in despair. Sisters In Business is joining with the Chattanooga Community Kitchen and together "we are working to change that!" Click here to read about the work of the Chattanooga Community Kitchen.

SIBay Online Store Browsing: Promoting Local Business
If you enjoy selling or buying at the mall, consignment boutiques, upscale resale shops, classified ads, garage sales, or flee markets, you’re going to love SIBAY. SIBay is sistersinbusiness.net’ online and offline shopping solution that , yes it's similar to “EBay”, but offers Chattanoogans the benefits of doing business online and in their own backyard. What does that mean? That means that the money you spend stays close to where you live, which helps to build the our business economy and local communities. What really is a plus is that SIBay offers the opportunity to build invaluable relationships between businesses and customers. Having an online shopping portal in the neighborhood means you get to do “free” local calling about an item of interest, and even go by to see the merchandise before purchasing. It’s exciting to see the E*Commerce take life like this on a local level! Got merchandise? Need merchandise? Buy and Sell @ SIBay, Sisters In Business' online shopping solution. SIBay is an online showcase of items for sell in the local community, where customers and businesses can meet.

YOUTH IN BUSINESS WE WANT YOU! That's AYES! Sisters In Business has a passion for youth, and also wish for them to discover their potential to do business as young business entrepreneurs. That's why the Sisters In Business Holiday Shopping Showcase & Business Expo 2006 has allotted a limited number of tables for young folk (15-21) who may wish to do business and showcase their talent and skills. Do you know a young person who has marketable skills? Do they show the potential of being in a junior business? Maybe they are good at word processing, or other office applications, provide computer training or computer technical support, can sing, dance, or do dramatizations for special occasions, create dynamic drawings and wonderful paintings, knit or crochet beautiful blankets, braid hair, has baby sitting service, write story/poetry books, or tutor children. Maybe you, or someone you know, could help sponsor such a youth on this day. Why not help some young person develop their talents and abilities and show them how their skills are a marketable resource that could help sustain and financially support them in life if/when needed. Get their business plan, display, and business cards ready, and coach them that day as they explore the world of entrepreneurship and business commerce.
