T.H.R.I.V.E. - Together Helping Restaurants Improve Valuable Exposure
Networking groups in Wisconsin
To meet for lunch once a week, and intentionally select a restaurant that is owned by a local entrepreneur. Let’s just say we are targeting our areas "Best Kept Secrets". This way, we expose as many people as we can, to a variety of locally owned restaurants, and, through word-of-mouth advertising, we tell our friends, some co-workers, families, business acquaintances, and clients all about our experience. Since business people schedule business lunches, we plan to schedule those lunches at past T.H.R.I.V.E. destinations and that’s when the restaurants reap the greatest reward because they don’t incur any advertising cost.
The cost is...
The only fee is the size of your appetite. With that...everybody wins! There are no membership fees or dues, affiliations, attendance requirements, formal agenda or structure. No bylaws, exclusivity clauses, obligations, or hidden strings attached - it's just lunch! You don’t even need an invitation, all you have to do is show up for lunch (when you can) and support the restaurant of the week.
The format is...
1. Mark you calendar every week for T.H.R.I.V.E lunch (see specific group for dates)
2. Show up any time between time (see specific group for times)
3. Can’t stay? Just place your order "to-go"
4. Can’t make it at all? Pick a different day within the same week and MAKE IT A PRIORITY to eat there
