Mike Gast Lawn Care & Chameleon Pest Control

“Tumble outta bed, and stumble to the kitchen.  Pour myself a cup of ambition, yawnin’ and stretchin’ and try to come to life.  Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumpin’. Out on the streets, the traffic starts jumpin’ with folks like me on the job from 9 to 5.”  Boy, Dolly Parton really had it right when she sang those iconic lyrics to the working person’s song, “9 to 5.”  We spend so many hours a week at work, providing for our families, impressing our bosses and hoping our clients know how hard much we do for them.  On the weekends, you just want to relax, have some quality time with the family and forget about the Monday through Friday grind.  The last items we want to spend our precious free time on are chores.  We all know that certain projects have to get done, lest the house fall apart or your spouse complains, but is there a way to efficiently tackle as many of these mundane tasks at once without breaking your time bank?  One local businessman has made it his mission to make sure your weekends belong to you again.

For Mike Gast, owner of both Mike Gast Lawn Care, Inc. and Chameleon Pest Control, taking the weight off of the shoulders of people who should be relaxing on a Saturday is his mission.  His companies are a natural accompaniment to each other and really provide total outside and inside protection against pesky bugs and other winged critters.  Nothing says “weekend” than coming home to a freshly mowed lawn, with neatly trimmed hedges and beautifully pruned flowers.  Then, you step inside and have total confidence and satisfaction that you have provided a defense against a variety of pests, providing a safe and healthy environment for your family.  From there, relaxation ensues.

At Mike Gast Lawn Care, Inc., your yard woes become theirs so you can catch your tee time, or, see what you can catch at the end of your fishing pole.  From landscape design, maintenance, fertilization, irrigation and spraying, they leave no weed untouched.  Now that will make working 9 to 5 much easier!  It is likely you have seen their fleet of trucks around town making the lawns in Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Downtown Sarasota, Palmer Ranch and everywhere in-between true showstoppers.  Their seasoned technicians are capable of handling all of your tree or weed worries and will make everything look fairytale perfect for your special party or occasion.

Chameleon Pest Control pulls the rug right out from under those pesky bugs you have been seeing in and around your home or business.  Nothing makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck more than seeing a cockroach scurry across the floor.  Can you imagine if your clients or friends were to see that?  The time to tackle those issues is before an infestation occurs in your dwelling.  Call Mike Gast and the friendly folks at Chameleon Pest Control to set up a consultation and monthly visits to keep the creepy-crawlers at bay.

When you are running two companies, you look for ways to save money and stretch your budget.  With organizations like IBE, Mike Gast has been able to cut costs in many areas.  For office supplies and equipment-servicing, they trust their friends at IBE to put them in touch with professionals who can help.  Not having to come out-of-pocket for office parties, a/c repairs and signage has allowed Mike and his team to pass those saving onto their customers.  They love the IBE group and think any organization that allows you to hang onto more of your cash is worth looking into.

Suncoast News Network

There is something comforting about turning on the television or live streaming on your computer and catching the day’s events from a trusted anchor who is broadcasting on the very station you have watched grow.  From its infancy stages where it caught your eye and you thought, “O.k. here is a channel I can get behind,” to now, when you don’t watch any other channel, SNN (Suncoast News Network) has always been there for you.  They have been that informative guide, navigating viewers through local and national tragedies and weather emergencies.  Like a beacon in the storm, SNN has assisted thousands of families to make the safest decisions for their families.  You watched anchors blossom before your eyes as locals, giving you the scoop on new businesses and events in the areas. Many have been courted by larger networks with career-building gigs, but often stay at SNN, devoted to the local TV network and community who has become family.  There is much going on in the Sarasota, Bradenton, Venice and North Port areas.  Nobody covers Lakewood Ranch more thoroughly, and if it is happening anywhere near Downtown SRQ, they will let you know.  For the Suncoast, there is no better or trusted source than SNN.

As the only locally owned television station in the Sarasota-Tampa market, SNN is proud to represent the folks in Sarasota and Manatee Counties.  Over the years, their lineup has evolved from around-the-clock news coverage to include real estate, health, entertainment and celebrity programs.  Popular talk shows like Pickler & Ben, Daily Mail and Celebrity Page have viewers tuned to SNN 24/7.  But, first and foremost, SNN is a valued source for local and national news.  When Suncoast residents turn the TV on, SNN is often what comes on first because that is what they last watched.  Seeing trusted anchors like Kathy Leon or Don Brennan via the TV screen or live-streaming is like calling a good friend or getting advice from a trusted advisor – – it feels comfortable and reassuring.  When there is a hurricane, something every Floridian deals with and dreads, life feels like it stands still.  You feel very small in the insurmountable surge of a life-taking storm that is larger than the state you live in.  Advisories and warnings from SNN put everything into perspective and let you take a breath for a moment, realizing that the experts have your back and will be keeping watch so you may prepare for what is ahead.  Time and time again, SNN has been there for the residents of Sarasota and beyond with the most relevant, up-to-the-minute news on everything happening on the Suncoast.

You can tell hometown heroes by the amount of time they spend giving back to the very community who supports them.  Such is the case with SNN, whose anchors and executives can frequently be seen around town supporting various duties with appearances and MC duties.  With 24/7 news, entertainment, sports and health programming, there is no reason to tune into any other network out there.

SNN is a proud member of the IBE network.  Fellow IBE merchants love to utilize IBE’s bartering power and get exposure for their businesses through advertising on SNN.  For updated headshots for the anchors, SNN consults IBE first for great photographers within the IBE group.  SNN loves the variety of restaurants in the IBE directory of merchants and regularly celebrates employee successes and station events with QR certificates from local eateries.  All in all, the executives at SNN are happy with their partnership with IBE and foresee many successful barters up ahead.

“Double A, Beep Beep, M,C,O!”  We all know that one, don’t we?  For many, AAMCO has signified help for screechy brakes and bald tires at some point or another.  When the engine is smoking and your kids need to get to school, who are you going to call?  In Sarasota County, one company has become that helpful hand with the skillful wrench.  For the fastest, most professional and reliable auto service, Venice AAMCO is the obvious choice.  Their technicians are supremely trained to handle all of your automobile woes.  Whether your transmission is automatic or manual, from A to Z, they have your car, van, or truck issues covered.  Their thorough line of services includes everything from clutch to steering problems, multi-point check and diagnostics to tires, brakes, oil and more.  The added security you get from going to a name you trust is a definite benefit to having your vehicle serviced at Venice AAMCO.   Their Fleet Vehicle Maintenance Program allows your company the flexibility to focus on new deals, while the professionals at AAMCO tend to your wheels.

Being able to barter for repair and maintenance services is so helpful, especially when dealing with the typically sudden added expenses of an automobile breakdown.  At AAMCO Transmissions of Venice, they see clients on a regular basis who are there solely based on an IBE barter.  If you have to pay for auto repair, why use your cash?  Take advantage of an easy IBE barter and save your money for the fun events in life.  Venice AAMCO readily uses IBE for QR Certificates enabling their team to enjoy great lunches and training meetings.  For just about every expenditure around the office, or for plumbing, electrical, printing and a/c needs, they consult IBE first.

Access Answering Service

When the phone rings, it is crucial to answer it.  It is not like at home, where you can rely on a voice message or eventual text to respond to determine why you are being sought out by friends and family.  But in your professional setting, you need to answer that phone call 100% of the time, 24 hours a day and seven days a week.  If you are not up to it, you are allowing dollars that could potentially land in your hands to end up elsewhere.  A client is likely not going to call you back; there are just too many alternatives to get service “now.”  If you don’t want to leave money on the table, make sure your phones are being tended to every second.  Does that sound impossible?  With Access Answering Service, you can make sure each call is being handled by capable individuals with a friendly voice on the other end of the line, all while you are on the beach sipping your favorite libation.  Sound intriguing?  Listen further as I tell you all the ways Access Answering Service can help your business grow.

That philosophy carries on to their clients; after all, they allow you to enjoy Sunday dinners and evening swims with your own families rather than having to answer incoming calls.
