Anthology 19 - 8th October 2023

Anthology 19 - 8th October 2023

Oh, hello Summer - there you are!

This morning I went to the suitcases (sounds dramatic, no!) and pulled out some of the summer clothes I'd literally only packed away last week but I didn't mutter a single complaint under my breath. Conkers on the ground, the scent of suncream in the air, and queues for the ice cream stand at the Cheltenham Literature Festival have made my heart soar this weekend.

I hope you've made the most of Summer's last hoorah, Betsy, fall is falling next week.

It's been a full-on networking kind of month for me. Spreading the news about who we are and what we do is a HUGE part of it (more about that later), but also connecting with like-minded business owners and business support champions. 

I've popped up all over the UK it feels and met with new and old business friends in Norfolk, Bristol, London, and Cheltenham. If you're local to me and would love to attend an event but would like a pal to go with then just message me.

Gingerbread style dog Christmas tree decorations

Despite the summery vibes, Christmas is 100% still on the calendar and advancing at a rate of knots (77 days to be precise) and we've been putting the finishing touches on our gingerbread Christmas decorations. We've got a whole heap of dog breeds, some cats, some smaller furry beasts, and one or two with beaks. They are with our photographer as you're reading this and will be launching very soon. I hope you love them!

As is quite often the case, in today's quieter moments, I'm listening to the voice inside my head. The one that has great and aspirational dreams for my business. And then logic me sits down and tries to work out how to achieve what dream me has envisioned. 
 
I mentioned earlier that spreading the news about who we are and what we do is vital for my business. It's almost half my job really now, and sometimes that's at networking events, or on social media, or here in newsletters and I wonder if you can help me? 
 
If I created a beautiful email that introduced Betsy Benn the company, would you be willing to forward that on to some of your friends so they could hear about us too? It would mean the world to us! 
 
If you'd like to do that could you just very quickly send me a simple email to betsy@betsybenn.co.uk and say "I'll be your Small Business Hero" and I'll take care of the rest. THANK YOU so much in advance, we really do have the best customers and I know you're all small business superheroes.
