Hello, Heaven’s Best Team,
Welcome to May, with the hope that we are turning the curve on the weather and the situation that we’ve had to endure for the past 60 days roughly. I think right now would be the time, if at all possible, to gear up for a busy season. I’ve seen across the US a lot of states and counties opening back up, and I know there’s a few of you that are still in a tough situation. I hope that for all of us, the light will start to get brighter and brighter as the days and weeks go on. My hope and prayer for each and every one of you, is that you will get busier than you have ever been before. Now would be a great time to make sure that you’re sending out the mass emails, touching base with your customers, and talking to commercial clients on a daily basis. In talking to you, and seeing competitors advertisements, if you’re not trying to capture that disinfectant and cleaning work, I guarantee you that your competitors are. A phone call or social distancing conversation doesn’t take a whole lot of effort, nor does it cost anything in advertising dollars.
I would please encourage you, if you still need assistance, to be applying for the PPP program, and the EIDL. With the PPP program, there is a tax credit that was talked about in previous communication to everyone.
The bulletin board will start getting used more frequently in mass communication to all of you, as we only have a little over half on the Facebook Group and everyone has access to the bulletin board. I am working with the IT company to fine-tune it more to make it user friendly.
I would like to remind everybody to take a look at the store as we have received our mass shipment of hand sanitizer, there will be no limits on quantity for purchase, so purchase all that you want. These will be nice to use on a personal basis, and also a great giveaway to your customers.
We have other new giveaways and promotional items for yourself, families, and customers such as a very nice travel mug, a day cooler, Koozie’s for your drinks, nylon backpack bags, regular bags, and new attire.
PPE
We are stocked pretty well now, with two types of masks. The more economical, third type of mask, will be in the store next week. As I said above, we have a mass supply of hand sanitizer, gloves, safety glasses, and shoe covers.
We encourage you to still follow your local guidelines and requests when you are out there in the public and private sectors.

As a reminder, anyone with EZ Local or looking to switch this month, it is still 50% off on all of the services they offer to you all. They have been great in putting Covid-19 banners on the websites, if you so choose. We just had another 4 franchises make the move this past week. We are still paying for the start-up costs at corporate when the switch is made.
Please help us out by letting us know if there are any promo items, equipment, or anything needed to do your job better. Reach out to John (john@heavensbest.com) for these requests.
I wanted to share with you all that we have been having monthly Franchise Advisory Board meetings with 6 of your peers. The meetings have been very productive and we have had great suggestions for moving forward.
I can’t stress enough how much we all think about you and your families, and I do believe together we can come out of this even stronger.
Thank you,
Robert Ashcraft
