Meet Patch: Have Coffee (and Bagels) With Us Thursday

Patch reporters, editors and managers don't really have an office — you might call the entire Birmingham area our offices.

But this week, Birmingham Patch and Bloomfield Patch will be holding "office hours" so you can stop in and learn more about what we are and what we do.

Birmingham Patch editor Laura Houser, Bloomfield Patch editor Art Aisner and account manager Catherine Grace will be at Bruegger's Bagels in Bloomfield Hills (at the corner of Woodward and Long Lake) from 2-3:30 p.m. Thursday.

We'll be doing a little work, munching on bagels and drinking a lot of coffee. But more than anything, we'll be there to answer your questions about:

• How to increase your business's brand awareness
• How to drive your store's traffic

Patch wants to help make your life ridiculously easy. Come meet us and we'll show you how.
