Local business owner comments on the 2011 Hampton Roads Gala.

"I just wanted to take this moment to express my excitement for the upcoming Hampton Roads Gala. I think the experience allows new businesses like mine the ability to capitalize on media exposure that would not otherwise be obtainable. I think that the ability to meet established business owners and other professional residents of Hampton Roads lends itself for new and exciting opportunities to branch out and meet other businesses like mine to share ideas. When approached with the proposition of becoming a gala participant I was concerned that my business would be lost amongst a crowd of more established insurance companies or brushed aside due to my lack of business tenure. It was a pleasure to speak with a gala representative who from the start eased my worries and gave me assurance that 123ABC Insurance will be a valuable component of The Gala. The Gala is offering a wealth of benefits, including but not limited to: Social Media, Commercials, Television Interviews, and Website Branding just to name a few. I look forward to the days following up to the Gala as I believe it will open up new doors and avenues that I would never have considered about opening up and take that next step that is needed to become a successful and thriving business for years to come."
