New GBA Website & Magazine Projects

As part of the GBA’s ongoing efforts to promote our members’ businesses, we are in the initial stages of building a new website and designing a free giveaway magazine featuring each and every business.

We plan to include photos and descriptions of every member business in both products, and we want you to be involved in presenting your establishment.

PHOTOS

You may have already met our volunteer photographer, Lou Caldarola. In the next few weeks he will be visiting you all to photograph your business inside and out. These photos will be used on the website and in the magazine to promote your business.

If you have a certain time of day when you would like Lou to visit, or if you do not wish to be included in the photo shoot, please email him at lcaldarola@gmail.com.

If you already have photos that you would like us to include on the website and in the magazine, please send them to GBA member Beth Lewand, along with a photo credit if you wish to include one.

Digital photos can be emailed to beth@easterndistrictny.com, or hard copies can be delivered to Beth at Eastern District, 1053 Manhattan Ave.

DESCRIPTIONS

In addition, we want to include a 1-3 sentence description of each member business. Please also send your descriptions to beth@easterndistrictny.com.

DEADLINES

It would be very helpful to us to receive your descriptions and photos as soon as possible. The final deadline for these items to be included on the website is Wednesday, March 10.

We are very excited to be offering these new promotional opportunities to our members, and we thank you for your participation!

If you have any questions about the website, please contact Beth Lewand (beth@easterndistrictny.com/718-349-1432). For questions about the magazine, please contact Eric Hall (RedStar3737@aol.com/718-349-0149). We are very interested in your ideas and suggestions.
