The Business Exchange Swindon & Wiltshire September 2014 Edition | Page 7

START-UP SEPTEMBER The Business Exchange Start-Up September Competition On Monday 1st September we launched our Start-up September Competition. Each day of September we are running a Twitter competition to win a whole host of prizes to support Start-ups in their early days in business. The competition is aimed at Wiltshire companies that have started out in the last 2 years. The competition has been organised to mark our 1st birthday celebrations. We approached our contacts via LinkedIn, Twitter and in person to see if they could help us with this idea. We were delighted to have so much support from the business community and we can’t wait to give the winners their prizes. The competition is being run on Twitter each day and we will also be promoting it via Facebook and LinkedIn. For the chance to win, start-up businesses need to tweet @tbesw with the hashtag #Iwanttowin to be entered into the daily draw which will be pulled at 8pm each evening. Here is a list of all the fantastic prizes that have been donated. 1 September Total Guide To www.totalswindon.com Free place at next social media training session on 9 Sept 2 September Priority IT www.priority-it.co.uk Complimentary IT audit 6 September Park Lane Press 19 September Big Local App www.parklanepress.co.uk www.biglocalapp.com/wiltshire.co.uk Complimentary start-up stationary pack including 200 business 12 month digital marketing toolkit on either Big Local App Swindon Ask AMS cards, letterheads and compliment slips or Advice for small businesses Wiltshire 20 September SJS Coaching 7 September Parker Bullen Solicitors Re changes to the Childcare Voucher scheme, will www.totalswindon.com www.parkerbullen.co.uk next year?
