Subscribe to South Sound Business Group - Discussion What are some of the things we can do in the Sound Sound to solidify our presence?

As a Seattleite myself who moved to Tacoma five years ago, I have the zeal of the converted. I'm wondering what we could do with our business and social community that would give us a stronger identity. What is it that links us? Is it the space? Attitudes? Affordability? This topic may sound vague - but we start here with specifics, develop ideas over a cup of coffee, and who knows...

    Hi Blaine, Good discussion point. I've found that one of our biggest challenges is simply communication. I'm also a Seattle transplant to the Tacoma area, and I've found business in this area to be much more difficult to cultivate. It's a smaller community overall, and business is mainly based on relationships from within the community.

    Hi Maura,
    Do you think that the communication challenge is due partly to us being spread out so much geographically? I suspect that social groups like ours give small businesses here some cohesion.

    I have an event spaced that I booked for jan/feb/march at the new business incubator in federal way. I just learned that due to regulation in my business I can't host my own group. My plan was to expose my associates to business owners and good marketing information. Is anyone interested in this?
