Networking is such a great think because it will help you grow in community + it can help your business grow too!
Want to know my best tip for networking?
Show up and reach out!
By constantly being there and interacting with a fellow vendor, you are letting them know you care. Ask to grab coffee or lunch, get together to chat and get to know each other, and show you want to be friends! Offering your support, kindness, and generosity is the most important thing to do. Having the desire to create an authentic and meaningful relationship will prove to be more valuable than just wanting something in return, and being supportive, showing up, and reaching out is the best way to show this!!
