Hello Patti,
Over the past five years of calling Vero Beach home, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many incredible people throughout our community—business owners, neighbors, nonprofit leaders, and professionals, each with their own unique stories, talents, and contributions. It’s been wonderful getting to know so many of them and discovering what makes our community such a special place.
One thing keeps standing out to me: Connections matter.
Sometimes it’s introducing two people who should know each other, recommending a great local business, sharing an upcoming event, or simply saying, “You two need to meet.”
That’s what Business & Beyond is all about.
This isn't just another newsletter. My goal is to celebrate the people and businesses that make our community special, share helpful information, and create opportunities for meaningful connections.
A Little About Me
For those I haven’t had the opportunity to meet yet, I’m April Bekech, Publisher and Marketing Strategist with Best Version Media.
I work with local businesses to help them become more visible and connect with the communities they serve. One of my favorite parts of my work is discovering the stories behind those businesses—why they started, what makes them special, and the people they serve.
Through Business & Beyond, I hope to share more of those stories and introduce you to people, places, and opportunities you might not otherwise discover.
What You'll Find Here
Each edition will be a little different, but you can expect a mix of:
- Local businesses and the people behind them
- Community events and networking opportunities
- Local success stories and people doing great things
- Business, marketing, health, and lifestyle tips
- Interesting discoveries and happenings around town
- And yes, I'll share some of what I'm working on with Fifty Third Neighbors | Vero Beach, Island Neighbors, Sebastian Neighbors, Best Version Media, and businesses I have the privilege of working with.
And occasionally, something completely unexpected!
Now I Want to Hear From You
This isn’t meant to be a one-way newsletter. I want to hear from you, too!
Know a business owner I should meet? Have an event coming up? Know someone doing something wonderful in our community? Have a story, recommendation, or helpful tip to share?
Simply reply to this email and tell me about it. You never know—it might inspire a future edition of Business & Beyond!
Because the best connections don't always start with business. Sometimes they start with a conversation.
Let's connect.
Let's share.
Let's keep our community talking!
See you around town! |
