Baw Baw Shire Council encourages residents to support local hospitality businesses and keep our community thriving throughout the pandemic with the Baw Baw Eat and Explore campaign and website.
In response to the ongoing disruptions caused by Covid-19, Council has developed an online platform to make it easier to find great local takeaway options close to home – or wherever you might be.
This 'Buy Local' initiative includes:
- The Baw Baw Eat and Explore website, listing all Baw Baw cafés and restaurants searchable by area.
- Supplying businesses with takeaway picnic boxes and advertising material to promote their takeaway options.
- A promotional campaign rolled out across social media, radio and television.
Aperloos Bakery in Warragul is just one example of a business embracing the Baw Baw Eat and Explore program. In response to the Covid-19 snap lockdowns, owners Di and James developed a creative way to remain engaged with their customers using social media. Using the Baw Baw Eat and Explore takeaway boxes, the team filled them with delicious sweet and savoury treats for their customers to enjoy a picnic at home. The competitions on their social media channels were well received by their customers and enhanced the businesses brand awareness and online presence throughout lockdown.
