Campbell’s Pool & Spa hosted the Knoxville Chamber’s Business After Hours on May 20th. Over 200 members of the Knoxville business community attended the event, which was a terrific opportunity to meet and mingle with other businesspeople and to develop some new business contacts.
“I think the event went really well,” said Campbell’s Pool & Spa general manager Gin Barringer. “We were pleased with the turnout and we think everyone had a great time, so we’re happy.”
Barringer said the event allowed company employees the opportunity to communicate with the Knoxville business community. She also feels the gathering offered attendees more than just a networking avenue.
“We felt like people were able to explore what they could do with their backyard,” she said. “Attending the event may have given some people new ideas for increasing the look of their property.”
The event’s location proved to be an excellent venue to host the Chamber’s Business After Hours’ reception. The showroom and service center includes several fully functioning pools and whirlpools. Attendees were able to see the products and maybe even image what they might look like in their own backyards.
“The full-size pool and its large veranda provided the perfect opportunity for our members to build relationships,” said Mark Field, Knoxville Chamber Vice President of Membership.
Sheree Slagle, Campbell’s Pool & Spa office administrator, addressed attendees and thanked them for attending. She also offered special discounts on spas for Chamber members.
Door prizes were awarded at the Campbell’s Pool & Spa Business After Hours.
