Hello Louisa,
 
As you can imagine we are also very proactive in promoting our services to both our partners and our customers. Your dilemma has never been a problem with us as we are making people aware of the free services we offer so they can benefit.
 
All the best,
 
Goretti

Subject: Endorsement of local businesses

In Essex we have a very proactive Business Information Service. We work in partnership with other local business support services such as the Chambers of Commerce, Federation of Small Businesses and Business Link. Much of the marketing is done via attendance at business clubs and networking groups. As part of the library service we have always been impartial and never endorse specific businesses, just direct enquirers to local businesses directories, trade associations, etc. However I always feel slightly uncomfortable, particularly at networking events, promoting our service to businesses but being unable to promote them in return. I would be interested to hear if other Business Information Services have faced this dilemma and how you deal with this?
