Blue Jay Wireless Making California Smile

August 15, 2016

CARROLLTON, Texas, Aug. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Blue Jay Wireless launched in California in March 2016 and has seen tremendous growth and results throughout the state, since its inception. More than 8000 new customers have joined the Blue Jay family since March.

National Sales Manager, Bryant Cloud stated that Los Angeles has proven to be a growing community of new customers. “South L.A., Downtown, and East L.A. are productive neighborhoods, and the addition of Gardenia, Compton and Watts will see even greater growth,” adds Cloud. Blue Jay is filling a need in greater Los Angeles by offering California LifeLine service to those who qualify.

Blue Jay Samaritans are finding that the new areas in California have been very receptive to Blue Jay setting up in their communities. Aldo Ochoa, a Blue Jay Regional Manager in Southern California, shares, “People in both Los Angeles and San Diego are realizing that Blue Jay is about more than just getting a phone. They see that Blue Jay is about serving the community with friendly customer service, establishing relationships in the neighborhoods and showing that we care. Plus, the Give a Day program is really making a difference to people in those areas and they see that we have a heart and a compassion for giving back to communities.”

Blue Jay sets themselves apart from the other California LifeLine providers by establishing consistency in the neighborhoods and providing community service with the Give a Day program. Locals are seeing a difference in how Blue Jay conducts business and are responding in a positive way. Many people who approach a Blue Jay location in the Los Angeles area say that they heard from someone else and wanted to come see for themselves, and apply for service. Word of mouth is a strong marketing tool in the community. Blue Jay is creating a lot of buzz in the L.A. and San Diego communities, as well as across the Golden State. It seems that Blue Jay may be making a case to be the new state bird of California.

“Alcohol Belongs In Saloons, Not Salons!”

August 13, 2016

0

SAN RAFAEL, Calif., Aug. 12, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The California Alcohol Policy Alliance held simultaneous demonstrations in two California cities today to ask Governor Brown to veto AB 1322 (the DryBAR bill). The irresponsible legislation would allow California’s 42,000+ barbershops and beauty parlors to give away alcohol without cost, licenses, permits, monitoring, Responsible Beverage Service training, or enforcement of any current regulations.

Members of the California Alcohol Policy Alliance – Adults and youth concerned with public health and safety and committed to reducing alcohol-related harm, demonstrated briefly in front of the Drybar Brentwood, in Los Angeles, and the 18/8 Fine Men’s Salons in Lafayette, CA. Both corporations are on record as the only supporters of AB 1322. The bill is authored by Assembly member Tom Daily from Anaheim, the home of Drybar’s corporate headquarters in California.

“This bill is nothing more than another ploy to enrich the special interest of a few and the alcohol lobby to the detriment of the health and safety of our community members,” stated Richard Zaldivar, co-chair of CAPA and Alcohol Justice board member. “We do not need special privileged legislation that would allow beauty salons and barber shops to be able to serve alcohol without proper state licenses. Our community members suffer enough with thousands of alcohol related deaths and other physical harm.”

California now suffers more than $22 billion in alcohol-related harm and 10,000 alcohol-related deaths annually. Alcohol Justice has estimated that if AB 1322 becomes law, the number of venues allowed to serve alcohol in the state will increase by 41%. Additional alcohol-related harm is inevitable with increased availability, especially when there is no license required and no enforcement of current alcohol regulations.

“A lot of kids come to barbershops and salons and this bill will allow easy access and it’s a bad example,” said Dayana Nunez, 15, Bay Point, CA.

“Managers are not trained. They don’t have their licenses and they could get into trouble.” Brenda Briseno,10, 5^th grade student.

“We’re here to talk about public health and how Drybar is just the latest in the total alcohol-ification of our culture…movie theaters, fast food chains, farmers markets,” stated Sarah Blanch with Westside Impact Project. “And now thousands and thousands of barbershops and beauty parlors want to serve it but without a license! What a terrible, terrible precedent this will set. Alcohol is not some ordinary retail product. It has serious, well-documented public health consequences.”

The public is encouraged to take action at AlcoholJustice.org to tell legislators and Governor Brown to stop subsidizing alcohol-related harm by relaxing regulations. Instead, they should protect public health and safety and reduce alcohol-related harm in California by stopping AB 1322. Alcohol must never be served in a California retail or service establishment without a license.
