Hi all. I know my activity on this forum is hardly regular and my last couple of posts have been broadcasts rather than engagement, and unfortunately this one is no different! I know a few of you guys are business owners in Hertford so this is of interest to you. I'm trying to start up a campaign called Focal Local. There's a meeting planned on Tuesday the 5th March at The Saloon Bar in Hertford at 6pm to hear the idea and then discuss if it's a good idea and if we, as local business owners can move it forward. Essentially it's a marketing campaign to encourage more people to buy from and use local businesses more. I've been studying ideas that have successfully been used elsewhere around the country and have brought together a few of them into something that I think will really work. It's definitely not about parking or what the council can do to improve things for businesses, and whilst I share most peoples opinions on those matters, Focal Local has nothing to do with them. It's a positive publicity campaign that if successful in Hertford could be picked up and used in other towns. If you'd like to come on the 5th then you're more than welcome. It would be nice if you could buy a drink from the bar to show some support for The Saloon who have gone out of their way to let me host this meeting. I'm looking forward to seeing you there! Rob
