Share the Good Professional Party in Jacksonville, FL


eCompliments enjoyed our first “Share the Good” party in Jacksonville, FL this week, hosted by our very own Jacksonville Community Manager Susan Woeppel. Business owners and professionals were invited to an absolutely beautiful venue on conservation property with floor to ceiling windows provided by Digital Video Arts.

We enjoyed wonderful foods like hummus, caviar pie (that was to die for!), assorted cheeses, crackers, yummy fresh fruits, bountiful cabernet and pinot grigio wines and a pleasing mix of musical tunes. It was a great social gathering for these local small businesses to get to know each other and find out how they could benefit from utilizing eCompliments and our Professional tools to help them spread POSITIVE word of mouth about their business…..right now!

As the Regional Director for Florida here at eCompliments I had the privilege of driving over from Tampa to partake in Sharing the Good! It was a great opportunity to get to know Jacksonville and the wonderful businesses in the community. The enthusiasm over what eCompliments could do for them and their community was just awesome! By upgrading to our professional version they could easily develop a strategy on building closer relationships with their customers, provide a way for their customers to share the good about them (rather than just hope they are spreading the word), establish a positive online presence and manage their online reputations…..no wonder I saw happy faces!

It made me feel great that I could work for a company that could really help small businesses not just here but in every town across the United States, accomplish the same, for such an inexpensive price! Talk about ROI! Even more fabulous, was to witness these small business owners and professionals see the greatness in coming together to Share the Good and utilize each other’s services to keep the community thriving. Why not have the wine store use the account in Jacksonville that is part of eCompliments, and the account use the massage therapist, and the therapist use the print shop and the print shop buy wine from the wine store, etc. Sharing the Good seems to be coming full circle in this community…..who’s next?

I wanted to thank Susan for hosting such fab event….she even sent people home with a goodie bag of truffles she made herself. Yummy Susan! Also gratis to Digital Video Arts (DVA) of Jacksonville for providing a place for us to share in the Good Times and Share the Good! And an additional gratis to Gloria from DVA for helping Susan with the preparations and making the out of this world caviar pie. One final shout out to Tropical Wines for providing such tasty wines for the evening!
