Hosting a Networking Event

Host a networking event at your business.

Are you looking to build your business and brand awareness?   Have you thought about hosting a networking mixer at your place of business?  This is a very effective way to drive traffic into your business.  

If you are a winery, you can host an industry party.  These are very popular in the "wine world".  Let me list a few of the benefits of hosting an event like this at your winery:


  • This is a great opportunity to bring folks from other wineries and establishments that have the capability to refer business to you to your winery.  
  • The guests that visit your winery and experience your wines and what you have to offer are your free walking ambassadors.  How cool is that! 
  • The guests who attend your event will most likely come back with their friends and family. 
  • Give little samples of different experiences that you offer.  This will entice your guest to want to come back another day and enjoy the full experience.
  • If you have beautiful grounds you would like people to know about and experience.  Create different stations throughout your property.  Perhaps a trail to follow.
  • When you have a cool event, it is all over social media.  Free advertising!
  • Any marketing you do for this event is bringing brand awareness for your winery.
  • This all means..... SALES$$


You may be spending a little money on marketing, decor, food, and using your wine (at your cost) to host this event but the benefits are worth it!

If you are in the industry I know that you have heard of Wine Road.  Here is a list of their private industry events.  You could be listed too!

These hints are specifically for wine industry parties.  However, if your business is not a winery same rules apply for other types of businesses. 

Feel free to call me, Crissy Knox at Jelsie Events to help you design your companies event!
