If you're going to conduct business in the Warwick Valley, you need to understand the business and social climate here. You need to know that the core philosophy is to keep it local, and that local mindset helps all of our businesses to thrive. You don’t’ visit the big box stores before checking with the local hardware store. Likewise, why visit a chain restaurant when there are perfectly wonderful eateries right in town? And chances are you’ll run into one or two people you know. Businesses here support one another, as so do community members. If there is a need expressed here, it is met with tremendous volunteerism.
As a business owner
anywhere, it’s important to network and that is especially true here. Part of
what made our Creative Vision partnership so vital was our strong belief in
being involved in the community. We are both firm believers in giving back and
have individually devoted our time to causes and organizations that we care
about. As a result of that, we’ve cultivated many wonderful contacts throughout
the Valley that have supported us in our business efforts. Some have already
become clients; others have become business vendors and sources for us to
subcontract or share work. And still others have shared their expertise in
their given fields, which greatly enhances our knowledge base and helps us to
avoid small business pitfalls. We thank these supporters and friends and look
forward to passing on their kindness and wisdom.
