On the 16th of August 2009 Design Quotes will be 1 of 30 small businesses to feature at the Small Business Lifestyle Market as part of the Energise Enterprise small business festival in Victoria. Design Quotes staff will be manning a computer kiosk and inviting small business owners to request on the spot quotations for web design and graphic design.
According to Business Victoria,
"The Energise Enterprise festival is an annual small business month and the largest small business activity held in Victoria. This unique festival has an extensive program of business education events aimed at providing inspiration, ideas and information to start or grow a business.
In 2009, there is a clear focus on helping SMEs thrive in tough economic times and following the examples of those businesses making positive gains despite the challenges. Energise Enterprise runs from 1-31 August and it is anticipated that over 35,000 people will attend this year’s event.
The Victorian Government’s Small Business Victoria coordinates the festival and collaborates with industry groups, private sector organisations and agencies across the three levels of government to deliver in 2009 over 400 events, during the month of August, at venues throughout Victoria.
Held for the first time in 2006, Energise Enterprise was extremely successful, attracting 10,000 attendees to 240 events held across regional and metropolitan Victoria. In 2008, host organisations worked with the Government’s co-ordinating group to stage 335 events held at venues all around Victoria. Over 31,000 aspiring and existing small to medium business operators or managers attended Energise Enterprise."
One of our goals at Design Quotes is to provide a better deal for customers looking for design work. This is especially important in today's economic client and fits well with the theme described by Business Victoria. We are looking forward to networking with other small business folk at the Small Business Lifestyle Market.
