Here we go again. Hope you are looking after those in your bubble and keeping safe.

If you need a bit of distraction from the confines of lockdown, this could be the perfect time to keep learning through what can be pretty tough times.

Right now many will be tuning in online, so why not brush up on skills to learn how to make an impact with your business digitally.

First impressions count. In fact, they say you only have 3 seconds to make a good one. So, slick images are crucial.

Flipping the perfect patty is quite a skill, so too is producing snappy images - local business Burger Burger can do both with ease. They’ve done away with traditional advertising and instead engaged its customers with vibrant and interactive content.

Watch their story here to find out how they get more digital bang for their marketing buck.

Then get started yourself and join us at Digital Boost to get going with our free videos and resources!

Do you or your children need cloth face masks?
My name is Saskia, and I am currently sewing reusable and washable face masks to order. I am a first-year student at Victoria university and got locked in while on a home visit to Auckland. I have sewn and sold masks in previous lockdowns for neighbours as well as a couple of small businesses.
The masks are pleated and adjustable. I can do adult and child sizes, with or without wire, in a range of different colours. I am selling them for $12.50.
I would love to receive more orders for those in the community who are in need of reusable masks now that mask wearing has become mandatory. I am happy to deliver to letterboxes.
Please get in touch if you would like any,
Phone: 027 800 9983

Thanks!
