BNI Chichester Festival

Re: Testimonial for Adrian Slade “The Marketing Kitchen”

Upon Meeting Adrian at “The Festival Chapter of BNI” in Chichester it became very apparent that my fledgling business (Started March 2010), had the entire infrastructure, such as a website and service brochure, but lacked a “Marketing Strategy”.

Being new to managing my own business(Oracle Catering Services a Catering Consultancy Company) I had spent the time and money setting up the promotional packages, but without the Marketing insight this was really quite useless as the promotional literature was not being viewed by my potential clients.

This is where Adrian and “The Marketing Kitchen” came in after an initial meeting to gain an understanding of the services I provide.  Adrian set about collating comprehensive information which proved to be highly enlightening and gave me a real insight into how, and more importantly who I should be targeting as potential clients.

Not only did he meet with me, and gain an understanding of what I do, but also met with a number of businesses who may be interested in the services I provide, to ascertain their needs.

This process gave me an invaluable insight as to how to make my marketing more focused and ensure that I could deliver the needs of these clients, it highlighted potential issues and concerns which will ultimately make my company’s services much more beneficial.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adrian for his efforts and more importantly highly recommend his services, as although I have been in this industry for over 25 years he highlighted a number of key areas in which my business can grow and gave me a real sense of direction and focus.
