Venture Network
The SentLive Network is a free collaboration between different ventures to help promote them to a wider audience. Each member of the network posts the details of their venture, however large or small, in the directory, and agrees to promote other ventures on their own website, emails, social media or other ways they are able to. Every venture will be randomly partnered with another every month and notified of this by email, and during that month must carry out promotion of the other as agreed to when joining the network. This might be as simple as including the logos and links for the venture in a post on their social media, or recommending them in an email to their own customers.
The concept is simple, and the idea of reciprocal advertising has been long established, particularly on websites, as has the practice of networking; however the various forms of the latter, such as Chambers of Commerce groups, or Rotary Clubs, often comes at a price that a lot of ventures can’t afford, and the SentLive Network is an attempt to bridge that gap and provide opportunities for even the smallest enterprise to reach more people. It’s unlikely that there will ever be any glitzy social functions, but if we can all gain something from it, that’s a win!
We hope that the network will go beyond that though, in time, so that network members will find new partners they can work with, for example a better, cheaper or more reliable supplier of certain things, or a service that dovetails perfectly with their requirements, or even business competitors being able to help each other expand their market; you never know, we might all make some great new friends as well!
