Merchants unify to attract attention St. Petersburg Times - St. Petersburg,FL,USA
The Business Guild of Seminole Heights, or B'GoSH, is employing modern technology and an old-fashioned tactic to boost its profile and further its cause. ...
"B'GoSH vice president Jay McGee recently launched the group's Web site, www.bgosh.org, which lists the association's members and links to their Web sites.
B'GoSH member Suzanne Prieur said the group also plans to introduce chamber of commerce-style social mixers at member businesses, hopefully every month.
"Word of mouth is the strongest, and cheapest, advertising, and several businesses have already expressed a strong interest in being hosts," Prieur said."
"The first mixer will begin at 7 p.m. June 8 at Sherry's Yesterdaze, 7112 N Florida Ave. Call 234-1230."
So who is listed as members on the website?
Here are their web links
Olsen's VW
Axxis Advertising
Hire-A-Fire Truck
Karen’s Place
River City Realty
Sherry’s Yesterdaze
Grunt Marketing
First Home Realty
Others include:
Tampa Antiquarian Books & Collectibles
Shwa Productions: Stained Glass, Copper Sculpture & More
Forever Beautiful Salon & Day Spa
Now & Again II Antiques and Collectibles
Do you have any restaurants in your membership? I thought you had 40+ members, why not list them all?
ReplyDeleteIs B'GoSH going to get demographic information to lure new businesses to Seminole Heights? Population, income, property values, available property, traffic counts on Florida, Hillsborough and Nebraska?
ReplyDeleteMaybe Strabucks has some info they'll share. Or a developer.
Certainly the Census Bureau has something.
Mixers and networking is all fine and good but entrepreneurs need to know Seminole Heights is a good place to do business.
Yes! Anony #2, we are planning to do exactly that. And we are looking for those interested to help.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually my 'pet' project and anyone interested in being a part of it, call or email me. (813) 231-2020 or yesterdaze@tampabay-dot-rr-dot-com
(use actual "." in place of "dot" on the address)
BTW: the first mixer is at Judy's Treasure Chest, Not Sherry's YesterDaze, on June 8. Call Suzanne Prieur for more info.
