Phoenix, Arizona – Social media has become one of the most powerful marketing tools for business owners all over the world.

Every quarter, Swader organizes and hosts the “Biz Mix & Mingle” networking event in north Phoenix at one of the local restaurants in the area.

SVN’s landlord and tenant rep, Jennifer Hill was also there to educate small business owners on commercial real estate options for those looking for space, expansion or new builds on flex/warehouse space. When asked how Meeks felt about the event, she replied, “This is amazing.” Hill stated, “This was an effective networking event putting local businesses together for the betterment of all. Talk about an engaging, fun and friendly mixer.” Hill expressed that this was “an incredible value to all who attended.”
