Hey all,

We are pushing forward as quickly as possible with a couple solutions:

  *   Combined delivery options for downtown businesses

     *   We are helping businesses set up online stores if they don’t already have it.
     *   One business has an unused van, so we are offering delivery within 24 hours anywhere within 5 miles.
     *   Businesses will have a shared Google Doc to list sales needing delivery, so a couple times a day, we will send the van out with its goodies
     *   If someone’s purchase doesn’t meet the minimum sale goal, businesses will encourage a sale from another business to push the sale over $10.
     *   The delivery charge will be waived for people who make a purchase from multiple businesses.
     *   A local restaurant that wants to keep an employee employed will hopefully be our delivery driver.

  *   Bundled gift baskets available for purchase

     *   We will combine online purchase opportunities from several businesses and will have a page on the BDA website where people can buy these bundles.
     *   We are pushing this forward as soon as we figure out delivery.

  *   Social media promotions

     *   We are encouraging cross-promotions on social media.
     *   Some businesses have been putting all their product on Instagram stories (@foragervintage)
     *   Some businesses do Facebook Live sales (@GHM Boutique)

Hope you all are doing okay!
