About BRE Maidstone and Medway
Business Networking over Breakfast
Word of mouth marketing is probably the most effective and least expensive form of marketing. BRE sees this in action;
if you are prepared to give BRE the time and commitment that is required, your membership will prove to be one of the
best investments that you will make.
A critical aspect of a BRE group is that only one business from any trade or profession can join and once a member no
other company or individual in that line of business can join.
The philosophy of BRE groups is that, as members meet each week and talk about different aspects of their businesses,
they get to know and trust each other and gain a good understanding of each other's business. The members quickly form
a strong contact group of individuals and companies from a much wider range of businesses that most would come across
during their normal business life. The group learns to recognise opportunities as they present themselves to refer
business to other members of the group.
How Much Does it Cost?
In addition to the cost of membership, each member pays a meeting fee to cover the venue costs. This varies from venue
to venue and includes a continental or full English breakfast. This is normally payable by monthly standing order to
the Group’s own bank account
BRE expects from its members:
| • | Treat your membership as a serious business commitment and your fellow members as business associates. |
| • | Regular attendance – or arrangements to be made for a substitute from outside of the group to represent you in your absence. |
| • | A positive and proactive contribution to group, from looking for referrals for others and playing an active role in developing the group. |
| • | Encouraging others to attend meetings and leaving visitors with a positive impression of the group. |
| • | Prompt payment of fees. |
| • | Feedback and constructive contributions on how we can develop BRE for the benefit of Members. |
