As Barbados approaches its 49th year of Independence next month, already top of mind for most local companies, and even international ones, is what can we do to demonstrate our nationalism and Bajan pride to recognise the island’s half-century milestone next year?
One of the most important considerations when planning an event is how you will promote it. Obviously, you want people to come. However, without the appropriate promotion to spread the word about your event, you essentially have no event at all! Some of our previous blogs have briefly touched on the aspect of event promotion, but here we take a more in-depth look.
There was a time when officers of the Royal Barbados Police Force actually dreaded seeing me. Yes, the tables had turned. Instead of the police being a signal of trouble, I was their signal that work was on the horizon for yet another Nation Newspaper event – which were at the time some of Barbados’ largest events. These events created lots of fun for participants, but for motorists and local residents of the areas that the Nation Fun Walk and Fun Ride bypassed, for example, they created a temporary invasion or some might even say ‘annoyance’. Therefore, there was a need to work closely with the police to mitigate the disruption that this type of event could otherwise cause.

At PRMR Inc., we love Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). And, there are many reasons why you should too.
So, by now you get it that looking out for your employees and the community is good for business. But, what about the environment? Being environmentally conscious is also good for business.
The value that Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives have on an internal organisational culture is most times overlooked. Often, so much emphasis is placed on what’s happening on the outside of an organisation that many companies neglect to turn their CSR focus inwards, as well.
It is a myth that a company should not promote its sustainability initiatives.
If you equate Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to altruistic giving, then perhaps promoting your actions would seem self-centered. However, if your Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives are strategic as well as enshrined in and support the organization’s objectives, then you would immediately understand the benefits of telling your company’s CSR story.
