Connecting Point, the COVID-19 coronavirus, and you

Connecting Point, the COVID-19 coronavirus, and you

To our loyal customers and community

Like so many of you, we’ve spent a lot of time studying the impact of the COVID-19 coronavirus, and how it fits into our busy lifestyle. Here at Connecting Point, we are taking the CDC’s guidelines to heart, to ensure both our employees and you, our valued customers, are protected when you walk through our door.

We are a small, locally owned business.

We’ve worked hard for 45 years to provide Rogue Valley folks like you with the best sales, service, and support for your technology needs. Our wonderful local community keeps our lights on. It puts food on our tables, and clothes on our backs. Yes, the COVID-19 coronavirus has us all concerned, but we’d like to assure each and every customer visiting our store we are as prepared as possible to help defeat it. We have hand sanitizer at the front counter, the service counter and also in the bathrooms. We constantly wipe down our displays, counters, and doors with disinfectant — all day, every day.

Don’t want to leave the house? We’ve got you covered.

If you don’t feel comfortable leaving the sanctuary of your home, we understand. And we have options for you, as well. Beginning immediately, we’ll offer free shipping on all orders over $100. If you live in the greater Medford area, we’ll even make that personal front-porch delivery to your home or business, in our company vehicle, by one of our own staff. Or you can take advantage of our new no-contact curbside pickup procedures. Just place your order by phone, and give us a ring when your car pulls up to the storefront. A gloved, masked staff member will walk the items out to the curb and deposit them beside your vehicle. It’s a weirdly impersonal approach for a business like ours, one that has prided itself on its “personal touch” for decades. Clearly, these are not times for that particular kind of personal touch. And lastly, you can shop for Apple products at our online store, where again shipping charges will be waived for the duration of this crisis.

Stronger together.

In short, we’ll get through this together. We value you, and we hope you value us. Please support small, locally owned businesses during these trying times. And not just ours: they’re all important, and we hope to see them stick around for years to come. Buy a bunch of gift cards from your beloved local merchants. Order takeout from your favorite local restaurants. Get a growler to go from one of our excellent local brewpubs and taphouses. Order a case or two of our fine local wines online, direct from the vineyard itself. These places are hurting right now, and you can make a real difference. Above all, take care of yourself, and your friends and family. Thank you.

For the first time, Connecting Point is one of the sponsors of this weekend’s Bend Summer Festival

Bank fo the Cascades Bend Summer Festival July 12-14, 2013What are you doing this weekend?

What if you could go to one single place that offered four stages of free music, a fine artist promenade, a kids’ area, a conscious living showcase, a gourmet food, jazz, and wine marketplace, and plenty of delicious food and libation?

We’ve just described the Bank of the Cascades Bend Summer Festival, which makes its 23rd annual appearance beginning Friday, July 12th and running through Sunday, July 14th.

One of the four stages mentioned above is the KPOV Locals-Only Stage (located in the Wells Fargo parking lot), which will host some of the the best regional and local musical talents on Saturday and Sunday. And that’s where Connecting Point comes in.

RelyLocal-Bend will be providing Co-Sponsorship support via its participating members (including, for the very first time, Connecting Point Computer Centers) for the KPOV Locals-Only Stage musicians (through C3 Events), who will play beginning at 11am Saturday morning. See the complete details about the festival, including all the music on all four stages, here.

Enjoying 23 years of success, the Bank of Cascades Bend Summer Festival draws 75,000 visitors for a weekend like no other. Festival features fine artists and craftspeople, artisans and performers, and four stages of some of the best regional and national blues, rock and jazz.
