Here’s How The World’s Oldest Brands Stay Relevant And Successful [Infographic]

You must be doing something right if your business has lasted 400 years. Let's see what keeps these guys at the top of their game.

It’s not easy being the little guy in today’s cut-throat business world, but don’t forget that even the world’s biggest brands started somewhere and there’s a lot to learn from their success.

Of course the landscape was rather different back then – you didn’t have a social media manager and there was no such thing as an online space. Not that you need to be a genius to give your business a boost, we’ve told you before about the new marketing and networking social media platform that’s changing the game so by now you should be well versed.

A quick look at that infographic below shows Cambridge Press dating back to 1534 – let’s see the secret behind their and other brands’ success.

Stay focused, create trust, changing with the times – these concepts all sound simple enough but execution is another story.

Our friends over at BizLink are running a series of events called the Crunch Time Expos, the Gauteng dates having changed to March 18 and 19 at the Walter Sisulu Hall in Randburg.

This two-day business-focussed event introduces a new concept for a large number of participants. They can now showcase their business by taking a stand or, as an alternative, taking part in one of the promotional initiatives that form part of Crunch Time.

Through these expos Bizlink aims to provide a new and effective marketing channel for businesses, connecting those in relevant fields and providing a platform for engagement.

By combining the face-to-face nature of the Crunch Time expos with its online marketing and networking platform, Bizlink is able to offer businesses a compelling promotional and marketing solution.
