It is our aim to expand on networking opportuities within the Community and with neighbouring Business and Community groups.
We have a good relationship with the Warkworth Business Association and with their help and where able, can be included in some of the initiatives they are involved in, such as business mentoring & networking events with recognised business leaders sharing their experiences through speaker series.
Wellsford Promotions Assn Inc have a key role in building relationships and communication throughout the business and community in all aspects from Tourism to Trade, Clubs to Community and encouraging involvement of individuals.
Bringing together and pooling resources saves money & time with opportunity for better results.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
We promote local businesses and community groups through Wellsfords website www.wellsford.co.nz which has been designed to inform visitors to the region of all activities & services on offer. All listings have the option for a free link to your email and website.
The objective is for visitors to be informed about our Albertland region so they stay longer and spend more.
Shop local is an ongoing initiative which we are expanding to take in the rural community, including all manner of small businesses which are often overlooked as they are unknown.
WPAI will be keeping in contact with members via newsletters, emailouts and the website with opportunities for growth as these opportunities come in.
EVENTS AND PROMOTION
Where able and with Community backing, Wellsford Promotions Association Incorporated will facilitate, organise or assist with the organising and promotion of events which involve the wider community e.g. The Christmas Parade, The A&P Show, etc.
