I made friends with a inflatable flamingo…
And it helped me land support from Daniel Priestley.
Weird?
Maybe.
But it worked.
The Flamingo also got me a lot of attention at the West-country business show
Here’s what’s helped me and my business the most in the last 3 months:
👉 I stopped trying to copy anyone else
👉 I started showing up as me
👉 I proudly wore my brand on everything, hoodies, mugs, even at events
And much to my surprise locally in Devon Groberri Ltd is getting recognized.
There are now over 200 Groberri mugs out in the world.
(yes i know the video says 100 but a business show happened since filming this)
Plus my top top top tip for anyone who goes to networking events...
Take your own branded mug !
Trust me it starts conversations plus you get a decent sized drink.
Every time someone picks one up, they remember what we stand for.
And Florence the flamingo?
She sparks conversations, brings in laughs and sometimes, serious opportunities.
This isn’t about gimmicks.
It’s about being consistent, visible, and unapologetically you.
So I’m passing the mic to you:
What’s helped you most in the last 3 months of business?
Drop it in the comments share your small win might be someone else’s big shift.
