Is networking part of your marketing strategy?
Networking has always been an essential part of building a successful business, but is it a part of your marketing strategy? Lisa-Jane Grey, marketing consultant and owner of The Rumour Mill Creative, believes it should be. As the host of Warwick Buzz, a vibrant networking event in the heart of Warwick, Lisa-Jane has seen how the power of face-to-face
connections can significantly impact business growth.
In today’s fast-paced business world, it’s easy to rely heavily on digital marketing, but nothing replaces the value of personal connections. Networking allows businesses to build trust, strengthen relationships, and access new opportunities that might not come through other channels. It’s more than just meeting people—it’s about being remembered and referred, which can be a game-changer for growth.
But the true impact of networking comes when it’s done intentionally and strategically. It’s not just about attending events, but about having a clear purpose, understanding who you need to meet, and making sure you’re present at the right opportunities. By building a network of authentic relationships, you can ensure
The true power of networking lies not in who you know, but in who knows you —and remembers you when it counts.
your business is positioned to grow through referrals, collaborations, an increased visibility.
To make the most of networking, here are some of Lisa-Jane’s top tips for success:
• Research the right events: Choose events that attract your target audience.
• Have a clear message: Focus on one or two key points you want to convey.
• Engage with new people: Aim to meet at least three new contacts at every event.
• Follow up: Personalised follow-up messages are key to deepening relationships.
• Stay open-minded: Every new connection could lead to an unexpected opportunity.
By incorporating these practices into your networking approach, you’ll build stronger relationships and increase your business’s visibility.
