Doringkloof Business Forum

Introduction

The DRA Exco has approved the establishment of a Doringkloof Business Forum. The main focus of the Business Forum will be to add value to Doringkloof business owners. Business is one of the main life-giving community spheres and therefore the DRA Exco wants to create a platform for our business owners (and entrepreneurs to be) in the form of a Business Forum.

Benefits of a Doringkloof Business Forum

There are various benefits to a local business forum, depending on how you look at it, but here are a few benefits to the Doringkloof Business Owner to take note of:

  • Create new business networks and referral opportunities.
  • Stay informed of other Doringkloof initiatives like our active Neighborhood Watch, Civic Affairs, Environmental Affairs and Doringkloof Care.
  • Exchange business ideas and be part of problem-solving opportunities.
  • Create possible Partnerships / Power Teams.
  • Opportunities to sell yourself at Doringkloof events, website, new resident Welcome Packages etc.
  • Request prayer support from the Doringkloof prayer teams.
  • Receive advice (and give) from other business owners.
  • Exchange website links for better SEO.
  • Stay informed on broader business trends.
  • Have a voice in Doringkloof through the business forum.
  • Have a place to form camaraderie and a place to socialize.
  • Attend training opportunities that might arise.

Various Platforms

We will manage the Business Forum through various online and event-driven platforms. We will create email and WhatsApp groups and sub-groups as the need arises. There will be dedicated webpages on the www.doringkloof.net website and we might even create a Business Forum Facebook page in the future.

The plan is to have a weekly / bi-weekly / monthly breakfast or dinner event at one of our local coffee shops or restaurants. The interest and needs of the local business owners will determine the frequency and content of these gatherings.
