When we were offered the members magazine by HDCC and warned there was no
money in it, no pre-booked adverEsing revenue and no image library. There was also
no budget for mailing, print or design… we jumped at it!
We have created an accessible channel for small, medium and large businesses in
and around Harlow to share their businesses, their advice and of course their story.
Our innovaEve, and very unusual business model is based on goodwill,
collaboraEon and sharing. We started with nothing, not even an accurate
database of members to produce the first issue. Now working on issue 4 of the Etle we
curate content from the local area. We have created something that is shared,
respected and valued by the Chamber and it’s members. We sEll have a long
way to go to create the ‘perfect magazine’. Design isn’t perfect, we know but we’re on
a journey and we’re sharing the inspiraEonal stories of real people in real
businesses and we like to hope we’re really delivering on our promise of creaEng
something people outside of the Chamber engage with and value.
