It’s time to Converge!

The North East will be the first region in the UK to reap the rewards of innovative business development platform Converge, launching late spring 2015. And the 300 exclusive pre-launch memberships are available now and going fast.

Converge will promote its members through its free business magazine, business blog, printed and online directories, and regular networking events which support its unique online business development platform. Converge is a collection of several promotional tools brought together to provide the region’s businesses with a modern, accessible and affordable way to grow their business.

Converge sits alone as the only service of its kind, proudly launching here in the North East. The aim is to create a tight-knit collective of fantastic North East businesses who want to work together and grow together. Membership to Converge is limited. In fact, in its first year, only 300 businesses can join and each business who requests an invite is assessed. Doing it this way ensures that each business is approved, keeping the value of the service as high as possible.

A lot of work and passion has gone into making sure Converge will deliver on its promises. Founder, James Tennant explains, “Converge is founded on a love for the North East and its business community. Every aspect has been painstakingly researched, planned and created to help businesses grow. Our collective is designed for those that have a passion for what they do, and for those who would rather spend a little time to ensure they get their promotion right than spending a lot of money and potentially getting it wrong.”

And a lot of money is what many businesses spend every year on advertising in various business publications and on business websites, as well as joining a variety of different networks. Converge makes business promotion easy. Bringing everything you need into one place, allowing you to manage your promotion across multiple sales channels.

James continues, “Our fresh approach aims to provide you with the most effective and affordable way to promote your business here in the North East. Converge exists purely to help businesses become more successful. And we aim to do that while providing our members with radical value for money. No matter how big or small your business, with Converge you’ll get the exposure you need, rather than just the exposure you can afford.”

But what exactly are the costs? Well, prior to the full launch later in Spring, the invited businesses will receive 12 months membership for just £189. After launch the membership fee will revert to just £299. These costs are a fraction of what you might pay elsewhere for just a single aspect of the integrated service Converge is providing.

Businesses who would like to join Converge and haven’t received an invite yet can request one online at www.converge.today.
