This talk explores how people research businesses online\, what builds trust\, and why even the best businesses can be overlooked if they're not showcasing themselves eff ectively.Rather than focusing on social media algorithms or the technical side of different platforms\, I'll be looking at the psychology behind how customers choose who to buy from. We'll explore the role of photography\, video and authentic content in building credibility\, the common mistakes businesses make online\, and simple ways to create content that helps bus inesses stand out.The aim is to keep it practical\, with plenty of real wo rld examples and actionable takeaways that attendees can apply to their ow n business\, regardless of their industry or experience with social media. \nAbout the WBC\nThe WBC open meetings are just that\, open to all busines s categories. In general we have an interesting speaker from the public or private sector and on occasion from a local charity. The event offers ple nty of time for networking\, both before and after the event and a great b reakfast. These meetings are a great place to further improve your network contacts and build on the connectivity between businesses locally. Guests are therefore very welcome to attend whether new to networking or a seaso ned pro\, we always look forward to meeting you. https://www.wednesdaybusi nessclub.co.uk/whats-on/event/260-wbc-open-meeting-26th-aug-2026-why-busin esses-get-ignored DTSTART:20260826T060000Z DTEND:20260826T080000Z LOCATION:Littlebury Hotel (13 Kings End\, Bicester OX26 6DR\, UK) SUMMARY:WBC Open Meeting 26th Aug 2026 - Why Businesses Get Ignored URL:https://www.wednesdaybusinessclub.co.uk/whats-on/event/260-wbc-open-mee ting-26th-aug-2026-why-businesses-get-ignored END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:20260823T225406UTC-7909rencuE@https://www.wednesdaybusinessclub.co.uk/ DTSTAMP:20260823T225406Z DESCRIPTION:Join us for a high-energy\, opportunity-filled morning designed to elevate your business and expand your network.
