Hello Local Guides!

I hope everybody is well in this global Pandemic time, take care of yourself and stay safe.

Today I will share with you all my last Meet-up RECAP which was Let’s Support Small Businesses-P5 held on 18,June,2021 at Amrita Lal Dey College, Barishal.

Due to Covid-19 viruses, all the educational institutions of Bangladesh have been closed for 16 months. Students have doubts about when the educational institution will open. If Covid-19 infections were under control, the educational institution could open on June 13. But the Covid-19 infection of the country has started increasing again, so the education ministry increased the holidays of all educational institutions of secondary and higher secondary level till June 30.

I think it is very important to help the educational institution centric business to stand by them during this crisis time. Due to the closure of schools and colleges their selling rate very low. I want to improve their selling rate for that purpose I have hosted Let’s Support Small Businesses-P5 Meet-up at Amrita Lal Dey College, Barishal. .

The special reason for the Meet-up in the Amrita Lal Dey College area is that this college is one of the most popular in the city of Barishal. The college has an estimated 1500 to 2000 students. Therefore, due to the large number of students and its popularity many businesses have sprung up around the college. I also completed my higher Secondary education from this college. On the day of the Meet-up , when I entered the college and saw some of the boys playing on the college playground, I remembered those old memories of how much I also played in this college playground.

On the day of the Meet-up , it was raining all day. Sometimes heavy rain, sometimes light rain. So I was a little hesitant whether I could complete the Meet-up. :roll_eyes:

When it was raining a little, we went out in the afternoon even though we couldn’t get out in time. It was a little late to get out of the house because of the rain. Then we went to our destination with an umbrella. Once there, we were able to contribute for a while.

The New places we have added shown through the table below.

Kamal Hossen Rana

We also advised different Business owners about Google My Business. Claim their shop on Google My Business and get more customers and benefits very easily.

We bought the Halim from a small restaurant, because our Meet-up was Support Small Businesses. We chose a small shop with the attitude that we can help small businesses at least a little bit through our shopping.

I am really happy to be able to complete the five Meet-ups on Supporting Small Business. I would like to thank all those who have always been by my side to advise, encourage and support me to complete these Meet-ups.

Many more thanks to the Google moderators who have approved my Meet-up on Support Small Business.

Specially Thanks for all the time Supporting @MukulR @AbdullahAM @TusharSuradkar @PritishB and many others.

Wow…! :open_mouth: That must have been an experience to remember for a long time @KamalHossenR

Nothing like being able to visit our high school on a rainy day and trying to help the same community who was with us during our formation days.

As always a great job and especially I appreciate that you have kept the spirit high and alive towards supporting the small businesses in Barishal.

Dear @TusharSuradkar

Thank you so much for your support and encouragement. I want Barishal’s small businesses to be more prosperous. There are still many small businesses that aren’t on Google Maps.

I want all the small businesses of Barisal to add on Google Maps.

ভালো থাকবেন।

Well done @KamalHossenR .

Do you know is there any fastest way to claim a business? I tried to help some SBs but the problem is that due to verification option through postcard making thing difficult.

From last 2 years waiting to recieve but no option of Business Verification.

Google Maps must need to start verification of every business through SMS to make it easy for SBs owners to verify after claiming business and to use full features.

Dear @Utmanzval

More about this you can find in this article - Verify your local business listing on Google.

Finally I just want to remind you that participating as a business on the program is a violation of the Local Guides Program Terms and Conditions.

প্রিয় @MukulR ভাই

সাপোর্টিং স্মল বিজনেস এর উপরে আমার যতগুলা মিটআপ ছিল সবচাইতে এই মিটআপে কন্ট্রিবিউশন কম হয়েছে।

অপেক্ষায় আছি আবার কবে বরিশালে আপনাকে দেখতে পাবো।

অনুপ্রেরণামূলক মন্তব্য করার জন্য আপনাকে অসংখ্য ধন্যবাদ।

বরিশাল যাওয়ার জন্য আমিও উদ্গ্রীব হয়ে আছি @KamalHossenR ভাই। করোনা পরিস্থিতি ভালো থাকলে আগস্টের প্রথম দিকে যাওয়ার ইচ্ছা আছে। তখন কি ভাসমান পেয়ারা বাজার দেখা যাবে? ধন্যবাদ।

আমরা প্রথমে প্ল্যান করেছিলাম জুলাইয়ের শেষের দিকে যাব কিন্তু ঈদ-উল-আজহার ছুটিতে অনেকেরই অনেক প্রোগ্রাম রয়েছে সেই কারণে আমরা জুলাইয়ের শেষে যাবো না আমরা সিদ্ধান্ত নিয়েছি আগস্টের প্রথম দিকে যাব।

@MukulR bhai আপনিও আসতে চাচ্ছেন তাহলে ভালই হয় আমরা ঐভাবে প্ল্যান করে একটা ডিসিশন নেই এবং ওইখানে আমরা মিটআপ host করব ইনশাআল্লাহ

Dear @SaifIS bhai

Thank you so much for your kind words.
