 Hello, BGS NZ members!
Do you run your own business, work in an organization, or have a new project you want to share with the BGS NZ community? If yes, we have a NEW OPPORTUNITY for you. Starting this Friday, we are trialing a ‘PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS’ initiative where you can promote your business or the projects you are working on. While not required, it would be great to have a special offering (discount or extra value-added) for BGS members if you are promoting your business. What makes this concept special is that there is NO ADVERTISING COST paid to BGS. This is one instance where you get FREE promotion directed to people just like you! Promote your business will be open on both the BGS NZ Facebook and LinkedIn pages each Friday. So be sure to add your links and promotions on both social media platforms! Have a great day, BGS NZ Alumni Committee #BGS #BetaGammaSigma #AUT #UoA #NZBusiness
