Notes for the Zoom online meeting conducted by Creative Design Team and JK Flowers & Gifts. Thanks, Marya and Karen.

Tammy from Island Pest Control is doing outside perimeter pest car. Is looking for word of mouth referrals. Has an ad/flyer coming out with Bob Griffin ‘Neighborhood’ paper so be on the lookout for that. Click/tap for Yelp reviews.

Bonnie from the Tampa Bay newspaper website has blown up to 1.5 million hits over the last 30 days. They are running an online ad special for $169.00 for 30 days they create the ad. They also have ads to help restaurants to promote their takeout www.tbnweekly.com reach out to Bonnie if you have questions or want to place an ad. Contact Bonnie’s email.

Martha Matthews Vasquez of EXP Reality has set up a Bluffs website to help promote us all, check out www.parkbench.com/belleair-bluffs. She is also producing a video tour of all her open houses.
Patty Ruppel from St. Patrick’s Church mentioned that they are running low on donations. They had to cancel all their spring fun raising events. They are looking for a suggestion for carnival ride companies for the fall. We also thought about some ideas to help raise money sooner by doing an outside concert event where people can listen in their car. Or a possible drive-in movie. If anyone knows someone who has access to the large outdoor movie screens please email Patty.

Marya from Creative Design Team is working on Videos on Facebook and Instagram. Call her office to ask about the designs. She is also plugging the Buffs businesses on these videos. We can help her by logging on to Facebook and share the video on our pages as a watch party so our friends and family can watch her video posts. I did it last week and she gave some fun and unique tips. She will let us know the day and time of the next one.

Ahmed from Sea Coast Bank - He and his team are offering financial advice and coaching. They are also available to help with the PPP Loans. Right now they are working with their banking businesses but will be open to working with the non-banking businesses as well. Give the branch a call 727-373-3988. Branch location.

Karen 'JK Flowers & Gifts' is working on social media reviews (and asking clients to do so too.) She is sending out email marketing and trying to think of less expensive flower arrangements for our clients in these tough times. JK Flowers is open for phone orders and contactless deliveries. BBA members get free delivery to the local area. Remember Mother's Day is coming Sunday, May 10th. Yelp, and Facebook, NextDoor, links.

Gary from Design For Communication is here to help with your social media and website. If you want to write a blog for the BBA website he will post it and promote it to Facebook as well.

He is also selling Jethro Tull App and Week-of-Rock masks where his company, Fustino Brothers, Inc., is donating money back to WHO (World Health Organization – Global Citizen – Act.me) with $1.00 of the purchase price being matched by FBI Apps.
