Attending an Offline Networking Event can be exhilarating, exciting, even exhausting but most importantly of all - motivating.

Don't wait too long before organising your material and newly learned business strategies gained from attending an offline networking event. Take advantage of the enthusiasm and incentives gained from your participation.

Make the time and take the time to contact those business associates that you met and (hopefully) you made a good impression on. Out of sight is out of mind in the business world so make sure you keep the memory of your meeting and discussion fresh in the minds of the new business contacts you've made.

Here are 5 techniques to help you get started on following up those new business resources and armful of information you now have.

1. Create a plan Go through the notes you took during the networking event. Keep them in a separate folder marked with the name of the event. Organise that information as much as possible. As part of your plan, create 'do' lists of new business techniques you learned or strategies you plan to implement. You may have a new list of article topics you can outsource or write yourself. You may have a new list of affiliate merchants to investigate. Categorize your notes and make it a work in progress.

2. Organise your new business contacts As soon as you can, while your memory is fresh, write little notes on your new contacts' business cards or handouts. Notes such as what they looked like, what you discussed.

3. Get in touch with your new business contacts Contact each new business contact individually via email and let them know you enjoyed meeting them. You can remind them what you look like by including your business photo in your email. Better still, find them online via social media such as Facebook and send them a note with a 'Friend Request'. Mention how nice it was to meet them and add a tidbit of what you spoke about at the recent event and suggest you now connect online.

4. Blog It Let your site visitors know about the recent networking event you attended and pass on any useful information that would be valuable to them.

5. Develop new products Leverage the information you received via your notes and handouts. Create an e-book or an e-course on the topic and how it fits your particular business niche. Use the information to add value to your newsletter or website content. Use the information strategies learned in any brainstorming sessions that took place during the event.

What did you learn and how can you use that information from your last offline networking event?
