🍀 Happy St. Patrick's Day, LinkedIn family! 🍀 As we don our green attire and celebrate all things Irish today, I want to highlight an incredibly insightful article I recently came across. It delves deep into the economic impact of St. Patrick's Day and how it's not just all about leprechauns and luck, but also about the power of cultural celebrations to boost economies and businesses worldwide. Did you know that St. Patrick's Day brings in a significant surge in retail and hospitality sales, with millions of dollars being poured into local businesses? Pubs and restaurants see a spike in customers, with traditional Irish food and beverages taking center stage, while the demand for festive attire creates a wave of seasonal commerce. It is amazing to see how a day steeped in tradition has evolved over the years to become a global economic stimulant. It's also a day that reminds us of the importance of cultural diversity and the positive impact it can have on business growth and community development. The article beautifully emphasizes how embracing cultural celebrations can lead to economic progress and cross-cultural understanding. As we raise our glasses in toast to St. Patrick, let's also toast to the immense opportunities such festivals offer for entrepreneurship, marketing, and global connections. Here's to the spirit of Ireland, which shows us that the blending of culture and commerce can yield a pot of gold for businesses and economies alike! Sláinte! (That's cheers in Irish 😉) 🌈 #StPatricksDay #EconomicImpact #CulturalDiversityInBusiness #Entrepreneurship #GlobalEconomy #CelebratingCulture 🌈 https://ayr.app/l/9Afs

Another great lunchtime event organised by pro-manchester. I always come away with new connections or takeaways from the seminars and today didn't fail on both accounts. I also got the added bonus of a walk in the sun to and from COLONY Fabrica, and a welcome break from the computer screens. I spoke with Jemma Bargh from Trafford & Stockport College Group and discussed ways in which Crescent Purchasing Consortium could provide some support to the College learners, which I look forward to exploring further. The seminar was interesting and I gained a number of takeaways on the subject of how storytelling should be at the heart of a communications strategy. Here are my top 3: 1. Consider what you/your business want to be known for? 2. Look to include a human element into the story that people will remember. 3. Don't be afraid of repeating yourself because your message may have to be said several times before your dream customer(s) hear it. I say, don't be afraid of repeating yourself.... 😁 Lots more I could add, which I'll be sharing with the comms team at Crescent Purchasing Consortium during this week.

Networking is at the heart of business. Well done all.
