Business Covenant
Network is a ministry of entrepreneurs of Abundant Life Christian Church with
the purpose of serving the entrepreneurs of its church and developing business
relationships that will lead to a stronger bond and community amongst the
business people.
With this goal in
mind, the idea of creating a business tradeshow was born. This was an event at which
50 entrepreneurs of the church were facilitated a space within the church to be
able to present and market their product or service.
"It was very
successful, I only brought with me product to exhibit but sold everything I had
with me. We had a good number of people and were able to fulfill the objective
of the event," comments Saul Contreras, leader of GEP and a business owner
representing two businesses in the tradeshow. "This event opened my
business eyes, and it allowed me to see the great need for more marketing."
"As Saul said,
the objective of the event was fulfilled, which was to be able to market our
products. I took products to exhibit, and knew that selling them would only be
an extra benefit. Anyway, I was able to sell all the merchandise I was
exhibiting. Many others have come to my business and bought my products,"
narrates Damaris Lopez, owner of the Damaris Collection jewelry.
This event was well
accepted among the business community as well as the church. GEP is planning to
host this tradeshow again next year, but with the goal of doubling the number
of businesses present.
