A - There is no question the movement from bricks and mortar stores to online stores / mobile apps increased dramatically. Covid 19 has been a game changer, in particular for the online space, SEO & SEM are absolutely important for visibility in google search results.

In the future it is expected that websites will become ‘smart sites’ that aim to create the optimal user experience, blending both brand storytelling and performance.

Dear Friends,

We had the immense pleasure of having an interesting Q & A with the proprietor of Pizza Luna, Armond Hayrapetian, who last Sunday , along with his wife Lena Hayrapetian, hosted and organised the Envoy Hostel Pizza Luna fundraiser which helped to raise $23,100.00 for the Envoy Hostel, Yerevan which houses 40 Artaskh Regugess.

Q - Armond how long have you been working within the food and hospitality industry for ?

A - I have been working within the food and hospitality industry for at least 18+ years and have been the proprietor of Pizza Luna Artarmon, for 15 of those years. Our business these days is mainly a pick and delivery because it is all about quality and convenience.

Q - What made you organise this unique humanitarian fundraiser for the Envoy hostel Armenia?

A - When I saw a my close friend Eric Karapetian, the proprietor of the Envoy Hostel with his wife Ani, doing exceptionally great things in opening the doors of the hostel and housing 40 Artaskh refugees, I thought to myself I needed to do my bit and help them out with this huge responsibility, the stories that came from the hostel, propelled me to organise a fundraiser at Pizza Luna to assist them during the humanitarian crisis.

Q - Tell us a little more about the Pizza Luna Envoy Hostel fundraiser and what effect did it leave on you ?

A - We did not fully comprehend how these humanitarian fundraisers were galvanising the community, but we knew we had to prepare very well in servicing the cooking in a short period of time in order for it to be effective and achieve our goal of raising much needed funds.

I felt people had been deeply touched by the Artaskh crisis and wanted to help the Envoy Hostel who had gone the extra mile in housing the 40 refugees. The results speak for themselves raising $23,100 in such a short period of time was a Blessing.

Q - What advice do you have to other Australian business who want to organise their unique business humanitarian fundraisers for the Himnadrum & Aid for Artaskh ?

A - Please do not hold back, organise your humanitarian fundraiser in your unique way as every bit counts. Even though the Artaskh war has stopped, there is so much humanitarian work to do in helping the refugees and Artaskh to get back on their feet. And remember Teamwork is essential in making the ordinary extraordinary.

Armond & Lena a superb effort once again and we highly admire for your generosity and sincerity in these existential times.

Indeed Armond, you went out on a limb, collaborated superbly with both the Envoy Hostel & Pizza Luna team and the results speak for themselves

Not only Pizza Luna, but all the other Australian businesses, who have organised these unique humanitarian fundraisers, are truly admired and respected for opening up their establishments and let’s not forget to continually support them.

As we say ‘ actions speak much much louder than emotional words and lovely ideas’ .

Hopefully, many other Australian businesses outside of the food and hospitality sector , can organise their unique fundraisers, because one thing for sure these humanitarian fundraisers have gone gang busters.

Best Regards
The Australian Armenian Business Humanitarian Fundraising Team.

P.S If a business needs a hand to organise a fundraiser, please reach out we have some a very talented and knowledgeable team , who can help a little.
