Apéro en carton: why host an event to grow your business?
The aim of the apéro en carton is also to create a meeting point for the DNVB ecosystem, bringing brands and partners together. We want to build a recurring event where we can meet new prospects and immediately form a more human, authentic connection with them.
At SendNet we'd had enough of talking to our customers through video calls and emoji, so we took matters into our own hands. To celebrate the start of summer and finally say goodbye to rainy days, we decided to host our very first event.
And after all, what better way to unwind and enjoy the sunshine than an apéro en terrasse The aim: bring together all the friends of SendNet we work with (or would like to work with) to talk, share and enjoy a moment over a drink!

First and foremost, the event let us deepen our relationships with our customers and partners, and to talk and share in a setting away from the daily grind.
