NetworkingSlow market getting you down? Here is a great idea for those who are a little web savvy on how to jumpstart your networking in a slow market.

Create a networking group for those up and down the real estate food chain in your community that meets online and offline. The cost is low and the opportunities are endless.

After launching its Web site three weeks ago, The Retail Network has garnered 140 members, drawing not only Long Island’s major retail real estate players but representatives from architecture firms, construction companies and law firms.

“We said, ‘Why don’t we pull in different aspects of retail real estate,’” said Joshua Weinkranz, vice president of the Northeast region of the New Hyde Park-based Kimco Realty Corp., one of the nation’s largest owners of community shopping centers. “Pull in an attorney, strong regional retailers, how about some property service guys who do the sweeping and snow plowing — all the different people who may not normally cross paths. Why don’t we get them together so we can generate business for everybody.”

The three founders of this nonprofit networking group, all executives at major retail real estate firms, said they saw a need to create a networking space specifically for the regional retail industry. via  Newsday.com.
