Miami-Based JustAskBoo Launches in Palm Beach County
Company Now Expanding Into New Markets Across Florida
Palm Beach, FL – (April 25, 2010) – JustAskBoo, the wildly popular E-Newsletter and the brain child of Province “Boo” Zamek, has now launched in Palm Beach County.
So what exactly is JustAskBoo? Zamek explains it best, “It’s an e-newsletter in which subscribers, or ‘JABBERS’, communicate between each other to share information. They ask each other for referrals, recommendations, and other sourcing information – even personal things like medical advice and feedback on schools. JustAskBoo also advertises businesses and promotes special events, non-profits and more. Says Zamek, “When someone wants to post something, they simply email our editor, who puts the post on our free e-newsletter. All postings require a first and last name, which helps build trust and credibility. Once the newsletter circulates, other subscribers reply directly to the poster. Then Team JAB records the responses into the online ‘Treasure Chest’ archives,” said Zamek.
In Palm Beach County, Ashley Schutz heads up the once-a-week e-Newsletter. A Miami native, Ashley is a veteran communications professional who formerly managed marketing for Regions Bank in South Florida. “For years, I’ve been hearing from my Miami friends what an asset JustAskBoo is. So when Boo approached me to help her expand into Palm Beach County, I jumped at the opportunity. It’s a valuable resource that not only provides great benefit to subscribers, but gives advertisers exposure to a coveted, hard-to-reach demographic. ”
The JustAskBoo newsletter has become extremely popular simply because it is useful. “People always need something and JustAskBoo offers a safe, easy and fun way to find it,” says Zamek. Subscribers also enjoy helping each other by responding to postings. “It’s wonderful to see how many postings have resulted in JABBERS coming to the rescue,” said Zamek. “People have located top-notch math tutors for children who are struggling, others have secured Miami Heat tickets for a group of foster children, some have coordinated the assembly of countless items for the Haiti earthquake relief effort, and some have even received sound medical advice when faced with illness. We have also seen JABBERS find a poodle skirt for a school play, locate a furniture refinisher to restore Grandma's credenza, share their favorite winery recommendations for a traveler headed to Napa Valley, and much, much more.”
Today, in Miami-Dade County JustAskBoo serves over 8,000 JABBERS, almost all of whom found the free e-newsletter service by word of mouth. JustAskBoo has been so successful in Miami that the newsletter is now in expansion mode. “We have been up and running in Broward County for several months,” said Zamek. “We are very proud to be expanding into Palm Beach County. Next is the Orlando market.”
Long-term, JustAskBoo hopes to be in major markets across the U.S., according to Zamek. “We have a lot of great plans on the horizon, but we’re trying to stay focused and enjoy the moment,” she said. “This is just the beginning – and it’s a very exciting time.”
