Invite a local business to speak to your Optimist Club

Serving the furniture industry for 140 years, Furniture World Online is used to giving tips to retailers and distributors about how to increase their business. A recommendation given this week was to speak to your local Optimist Club.

Why would an Optimist Club want to hear from a retailer? A number of reasons come to mind, the best being that an inside look at any local business helps attendees understand the business climate or economy of their  community. The business owner might also offer inside tips about purchasing their product or a story about how they got into business. Color commentary and local stories and insights are what makes the community more cohesive and a friendlier place to live.

Another value to the Optimist Club is that they have the opportunity to let a business owner know more about the club at the same time; not in the form of a sales pitch, but rather just in good, quality reports about the club's activities.

Consider inviting a local business owner to speak to your Optimist Club. It can be a win-win proposition for everyone involved.
