Networking without leaving your desk! 

Virtual business networking at The-Grapevine is a powerful and effective way to spread the word about your business, bringing you not only new customers and clients, but also press opportunities, practical support  and possibilities you may not have considered.

We know it works, we are busy folk, we don't always have time to get together to promote our business, products or services.  The power of virtual networking has enabled many businesses to thrive and grow and it continually helps to raise the profile of many Grapevine member companies.  Nowadays many of us are deemed time-poor, we have good intentions to carry out more business development, to attend more networking events but somehow we never seem to find the time. 

The power of virtual business networking is found in the flexibility and freedom to network whenever, however, and with whomever you choose. Unlike a physical networking space, The-Grapevine gives you many ways to spread your message to new markets and meet new business associates regardless of the time of day.

“Business networking without the breakfast!”
“Networking at your finger tips!”
“Word of mouse marketing!”

Networking on The-Grapevine also accomplishes what traditional referral networking groups can not offer: the ability to meet and work with a company thousands of miles away from your own business.

At the core of its services are powerful tools that bridge business communities, industries, and interests into a single place: this Web site.

Nowadays many of us are deemed time-poor, we have good intentions to carry out more business development, to attend more networking events but somehow we never seem to find the time.  

The-Grapevine works in two ways, via the website and via the e-newsletter (The Harvest) virtually passing and exchanging news, views, tips, job offers, new product launches, special offers, last minute bargains - the list is endless.  All networking is done via e mail initially and then often by telephone follow up.
