ilton Head Island offers world-class golf, vibrant arts and culture, 12 miles of pristine beaches and refreshing outdoor recreation in an ecologically sensitive setting.

How do we market our destination to attract visitors? Earlier this year the Hilton Head Island-Bluffton Chamber of Commerce hosted Operation Engagement, an annual process in which the chamber seeks input from the collective tourism community. Overall, the chamber met with over 90 leaders in the business, tourism and real estate community to help develop the marketing plan for our destination.

This community input along with consumer-based research shaped the plan which was developed across all platforms, including print, digital, social, and broadcast media. This combined approach reflects the changing economic, cultural and consumer behavioral trends impacting the travel and tourism industry and both the global and local business community.

Whether you’re building a new business or retrofitting an existing space, clean burning natural gas is your environmentally-friendly energy choice. Natural gas appliances not only make every day life better, they’re cost-effective to operate, generally last longer and require less maintenance. In addition to the environmental benefits of lower emissions, plus higher energy efficiency, more than 80 percent of the natural gas used in the U.S. is domestically produced.

Operating your business with natural gas can help reduce your impact on the environment without sacrificing comfort and convenience. If you want to make your business a little greener, while enjoying cost benefits, ask for natural gas. To learn more, call Parks Moss at (843) 815-8808 or Lucas Kinard at (843) 815-8816.

loCAl CHEf oRCHId pAUlMEIER SHINES oN “food NEtwoRk StAR”

H ilton Head Island residents and the national audience of Food Network Star all agree that local chef Orchid Paulmeier is one “hot

mama.” She’s been a Food Network Star fan-favorite from the very beginning.

It may be hot in the kitchen, but she’s cool as a cucumber, smoothly stirring up some classic spice and wowing judges with her megawatt charm and signature warmth.

Her chocolate chip pecan pie with graham cracker bacon crust won raves from Food Network “Dinner Impossible” host and Hilton Head Island resident Robert Irvine. The week three judge marveled at her creation and her persona, “She never stopped smiling and having fun the whole time through!”

Owning a restaurant was always part of Paulmeier’s American dream.

Intent on learning more about the restaurant business, Paulmeier accepted an internship on Hilton Head Island in 1994 and settled in the Lowcountry and began digging into the deep, colorful cooking traditions of this region.

In 2003, Paulmeier opened One Hot Mama’s, handpicking the menu and mixing up all the signature sauces herself. “I blended Southern favorites like collards, cornbread and slow-cooked barbecue, with my own family recipes,” she said, describing the cuisine as “comfort food with a kick.”

And now she is becoming familiar to millions of people throughout the country. With husband Mike and their three children cheering her on, she auditioned and won a slot on Food Network Star, Season 7. The series takes 15 chefs and puts them in what has become a familiar reality TV showdown. Contestants are eliminated weekly, with the winner getting his or her own Food Network show.

The program’s been a great platform for Paulmeier’s dynamic culinary style and offers even greater national exposure for the burgeoning culinary scene on Hilton Head Island and throughout the Lowcountry.

At press time, Paulmeier’s star quality was shining brightly. Her culinary creations have been praised by the judges and she has consistently been one of the leaders in the fan vote. Follow her progress and vote at foodnetwork.com/the-next-food-network-star and on the chamber food blog at hiltonheadisland.org.

THAT’S GOOd AdvICE ONLINE SURVEYS INCREASE CUSTOMER LOYALTY

Surveys are a great way to show customers you value them. They also provide valuable insights on running your business better. Online surveys have an advantage because they are often quick and easy to complete. The best strategy is to keep your survey focused on a single objective and limit the number of questions. Share results with your customers by sending them a summary e-mail or by posting the results on your website. This helps close the loop and shows your customers that you truly value their feedback.

dOING BUSINESS BETTER SUCCESSFUL BRANDS CONNECT WITH AUTHENTICITY

Authenticity is the key to attracting and retaining customers, according to attendees at the June New York Times Small Business Summit. Customers’ craving for authenticity also has changed the way companies are establishing themselves.

Successful businesses have team members who truly exude the brand message. By sharing worthwhile information with customers, it becomes less like marketing and establishes more of a connection. “Today, people create the story along with the product and it’s more authentic,” said Naked Pizza co-founder and chief brand architect Robbie Vitrano – “the storytelling is baked into the whole package.”
