We have several new initiatives within the site that will help your business but to make the most of the new features we need some information from you!
TAILORED EVENTS AND NEWS
As Theo mentioned at the event we want to start organising other events and workshops throughout the year which will benefit your business. However before we are able to do this we need to understand a little more about your business so that we can tailor what events and information would suit your business.
NEW IMPROVED SEARCH FUNCTIONALITY
We have improved the search functionality on the site and have added a directory which potential customers will use to find your products or services!

OTHER BENEFITS
Along with these benefits the other features that Theo launched at the #SBS Event are as follows:
Improved news and offers functionality on your #SBS profile which can appear on the homepage
#SBS business of the month who will feature on the homepage for the whole month
Ability to discuss posts and news on the site
Badge generator so that your business name can be integrated into the #SBS badge
I won SBS in July 2014 and was immediately inundated with lots of twitter messages, retweets and new followers. It took me days to thank everyone. I recently attended the SBS Winners 2015 event and it was great to meet everyone, especially Theo and receive my winners certificate and have my photo taken with him.
MY BIO
Hi, I'm Gail O'Brien and I'm Owner/Director of Stallfinder Ltd. Stallfinder is the UK's one-stop shop for stallholders, events and fundraising ideas. The website was launched in March 2008 after I'd been trying to find stallholders for a small local charity event I was organising. I realised there was no one place for stallholders and event organisers to find each other and so the idea for Stallfinder.com was born.
I'm a Mum of 3 girls and I work from home (or anywhere serving nice coffee) in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.
MY BUSINESS TIPS
For new businesses, be prepared to work for very little, if anything for a while as it takes time to build a profitable business. Protect your business idea, name and intellectual property if possible as there some sharks out there. Make use of all the social networking and business forums available to you for advice and spreading the word about your new venture.
