The appeal of live event marketing

a way to show off what you do, for example with live demos or classes. These work especially well if your business is a service rather than product-oriented

Of course – they all can. If it’s one thing we learned about live event marketing over the years of organising Ealing Business Expo events, is that it can work for any kind of business

•Put on a conference An event like an expo or a round table creates opportunities for you to show off your expertise.

You get to speak at your own event, and will gain precious credibility as an expert

hy and when did you start up this “Heart and Soul Caribbean Food” business? Was it because of homesickness for Trinidadian food?

We really wanted to showcase that there is more A: We started out selling food to Caribbean food and that the outside the Tabernacle in Caribbean islands on the whole Ladbroke Grove.

How long has Roti Friday been going? Are most of your customers West Indian? Do you both work full time on the business?

A: Roti Friday started in the first lockdown. We were predominantly event caterers when we started, but due to the pandemic all of our events were cancelled, and we were at a loss as to what we would do next.

A customer who had hired us for her annual boat party contacted us because she had ordered roti from someone and she wasn’t really happy with it.

So she suggested we start a roti delivery service – and Roti Friday was born.

Our customers are very

have been so blessed to take part in, from barbecuing at No 10 Downing Street, to Rumfest and Notting Hill Carnival. Also there’s the joy we see from our customers when they try our food. We really put our heart and soul in every dish.

The downsides have been a few, like the difficulty in finding premises where we can start our takeaway business, and the uncertainty that the pandemic has brought to our business.

Deliveroo did work for us.

The reviews were great but unfortunately the production kitchen we were renting was sold so we had to close Deliveroo until we could find a permanent location.

Are you both Trinidad-born Trinis?

A: Joanne (mum): I was born in San Fernando, Trinidad. I came to the UK when I was 10 years old and did not return to T&T until 47 years later. A lot of my knowledge of Trinidad and

support from other businesses has been great, especially Lucy and her team at The Dodo Micropub. We have been collaborating with her for quite some time now and it has always been a great success.

Tobago cuisine has been passed down to me from my mother and my aunts.

A: Alongside Roti Friday, we cater to weddings, funerals, and birthday parties. We can do anything from a special dinner for two to a festival for thousands. We always put the customer first and pride ourselves on providing the best quality and experience they can have.

Valene: I was born in the UK, but I have visited Trinidad a couple of times for the annual Carnival – which is unreal, might I add.
