guute: a strong network

25 years ago, Guute was founded to stop the drainage of purchase from the Urfahr-Umgebung district. According to the managing director Franz Tauber, this has been successful, because almost half of the consumption expenditure remains in the district. With over 400 member companies, Guute is now the largest regional entrepreneurial association of Austria at the district level. A turnover of 17.5 million euros was achieved by the customer loyalty program, which also includes a voucher system and secures around 250 jobs. "The guute is so close and good in the race," said the chairwoman of the regional Chamber of Commerce, Sabine Lindorfer, who described the district as one of the most dynamic in the country.

The direct exchange and the networking of the entrepreneurs: Inside, Guute's strategy play a central role. Entrepreneurs' tables, training courses and cooperation in the field of social media are some of the measures to help the members compete and to master organizational challenges. There is also an apprenticeship service that is supposed to help small businesses to remain competitive when recruiting apprentices. These initiatives not only support the existing economy, but also promote corporate growth in the region, such as [Nachrichten.at] (https://www.nachrichten.at/wirtschaft/das-guute-lieb-so-z-gut-im-rennen ;art15,3887717) emphasizes.
