Patch 101: Letter from the Editor

Greetings!

I'm doing a lot of Patch-like things in the Nazareth area -- it's kind of my job! -- so I figured I'd pop in and give you the lowdown on how you can get involved and how I can help.

Office Hours

I'm in town all the time, but I'm here and there, and sometimes it's tough to find me. So I'll be scheduling office hours weekly, in a place where you can easily find me.

I'll be at in the Lower Nazareth Commons Plaza from 12:30 to 3 p.m. today (Wednesday). Stop by and say hello! Bring your story ideas, bring your complaints, bring your thoughts on change, and anything else you'd like to talk about -- or just stop by and have a cup of soup with me.

I always post my office hour information on Nazareth Patch's Facebook and Twitter pages, so make sure to "like" and follow! For folks who aren't on social media, I also post a bulletin that appears at the very top of Nazareth Patch.

Not sure if you found me? I'll be the gal hovered over the MacBook with the bright green "Patch" sticker. I stick out like a... green thumb!

Ba-da-bump!

Patch Bootcamp!

There's lots that you, your business and your organization can do on Nazareth Patch! You can list events and make announcements -- for free. You can write a blog! You can and get great access to your customer base and to excellent and cheap advertising opportunities.

Want me to give you some basic training? I'm happy to do a Patch Bootcamp session anywhere, at any time. Call me at (610) 390-9770, drop me an e-mail at mallory.vough@patch.com, or stop by my office hours.

Businesses, you should ! It's easy to do -- and free. Just find your listing in "Places," look under the photo box, and click on "Do you own or manage this location? Claim it!"

A form will open up, you fill it out, and Bob's your uncle. A Patch person will call to verify, and you'll then be in a universe you can't otherwise reach. You'll be able to find your customers, e-mail them, add photos, specials and a whole lot more, all for free.
