Celebrating our Industry Entrepreneurs
Our decision to join AAXO has so far shown to be a wise one. In addition to connecting us with former co-workers, it has given us a forum where we can interact and offer answers to problems or obstacles we face daily and create prospects for new business.
I think it is reasonable to say that everyone has experienced a day where things don’t go as planned. Days like these are simpler to handle when one is an AAXO member since it offers the required pillars of support to continue and handle the many scenarios in an amicable and professional manner.
The COVID pandemic appears to have come and gone very rapidly when examining the business today, despite the fact that the experience was brutally painful. We are honoured to have been permitted to return to the field and are currently engaged in a restoration exercise with the goal of ten-fold restoring what we already had.
As the various firms have started using new business strategies, the industry has redirected itself in a different direction. As each business seeks to protect themselves and prevent potential losses or unfavourable outcomes, however, not all new measures being implemented by them are advantageous. Though, I am certain flexibility is exercised where possible or trust is not an issue.
Our way of thinking has slightly changed, as we now recognize the importance of greater collaboration across the many businesses and competitors as opposed to mere competition for customers. Despite the spike in costs, we have also had to consider our clients’ budgets in order to appreciate the financial burden we have all had to undergo while still delivering beyond excellence.
Judging from how the year has played out, I anticipate that next year will be very busy from January through December. I welcome this assumption since it will ease the financial hardships the industry is currently experiencing as a result of having been sitting out the COVID duration.
The industry has embarked on more fancy and exciting designs for custom stands, modern themes of eventing along the non-exhibition space.
With the goal of continuing to provide our clients across the country and possibly the African continent with nothing less than the best service, I am personally thrilled to be on a rebuild and growth program as 2023 approaches.
