Did you know that there is a link on our events that allow you to easily add the PBA event to your personal calendar?

For me, if I forget to add an event to my calendar, I usually forget about it.  My Outlook calendar keeps me moving in the right direction.

Check out this video that walks through the process.  With just a couple of clicks, your personal calendar can be in sync with the events that you wish to attend.

If you have any other technology questions, feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss and make it our next PBA Tech Tip.

PBA TEch Tip  -Web Listing 

When you enter your website address (or any other link- like social media sites) remember to put in the www. before the site. If you do not, then the website sill not be a clickable link. You want the listing to have a clickable link to make it easier for potential customers to click to your site. See the two examples below from the Huff Insurance listings. Top one is not clickable and bottom on is. Let us know if you have any questions on the functionality of the PBA website. Visit https://pasadenabusinessassociation.com/directory and log in to make changes to your directory listing.

Hello PBA Members.

Did you know you can ad your logo and profile photo to your online PBA listing?

Adding these to your listing really makes it stand out in the directory search on our website.

Take a look at the listing for Atlantic Coast Charters. You can search your listing at https://pasadenabusinessassociation.com/directory .

If you need a walk through to see how to add a logo and profile image, please comment or email the PBA and we will get back to you or create a how to video for you to follow.

Please make sure tour information is up to date on the web listings. We use this information for the printed directory, which will be printed in the next few months

Happy new year everyone.  The PBA is excited to bring in he new year and we are looking to make our monthly meetings more valuable for you.

In order to do so, we need to get your help.  If you can take a few minutes to complete the following poll, we would greatly appreciate it.

https://pasadenabusinessassociation.com/Sys/Poll/11265

The poll is for PBA members, so you must be logged into the website in order to take the poll.

If you are not a member and want to give your feedback, here is a photo which contains the questions on the poll.  You can give your feedback by posting a comment to this blog.

Our goal is to make the presentations at our monthly meetings be on topics that you want to hear about or learn about.  So your feedback is important for us to have as we are planning out our 2020 meeting schedule.

Thank you and have a great day.

PBA Has A New Twitter Feed 

I am excited to announce that the PBA has re launched our Twitter feed!

You can find it at https://twitter.com/THEPBAMD.

We have created our Twitter feed with a few goals in mind, such as:

1. Promote the benefits of being a PBA member
2. Promote our member businesses
3. Promote and support our community

If you haven't done so already, please follow us on Twitter.

I have already started following our business members and community members.  If I missed anyone, I do apologize.  If you do follow us, we will follow you back.

Also, if you have a blog feed that you want us to post about, please let me know.  You can either tweet it to us by tagging us @ThePBAMD or email me at jerry@huffinsurance.com.

If you have a post that you want us to share, please either tag us @ThePBAMD or use the hashtag #PBAMD. 

We hope to see you all out in the Twitter world.

It has come to our attention that an email was recently sent to some of our members with a PDF attachment that looked to be from the PBA.  

We want to advise that this was not sent from the PBA and the attached PDF may be harmful to your computer if clicked.

As you can see from the photo below, the email address that the message was sent from was not the PBA email address of PasadenaBusinessAssociation1@Verizon.net. 

When getting any suspicious emails, please be diligent about looking it over before clicking on any attachments or links.  Some of the largest cyber breaches have started with an erroneous click of an email.

The above video walks through some things to look for when reviewing an email's authenticity.  Although it is not a catch all, it can be helpful to identify potentially damaging emails.

If you have any questions on this subject or any other website and technology issues, please feel free to give me a call at 410-647-1111 or shoot me an email at jerry@huffinsurance.com.

Hello PBA members.  We have had several folks ask us how the following question.  How do I update my PBA online listing?  So I thought it would be a good idea to make a short instructional video to walk you through the process.  So if you are unsure on how to update your listing, take a look at this video.

And as always, if you have any questions, feel free to contact me by email at Jerry@Huffinsurance.com or by phone at 410-647-1111.
