Every Long Island business has a story. What’s yours?
Maybe it’s how you started your company at the kitchen table and grew it into something bigger. Maybe it’s the passion behind what you do every day. Or maybe it’s about the people — your team, your customers, and your community.
At Love Local Long Island, we believe these stories deserve to be shared.
Through our Featured Business program, we help Long Island businesses reach more local customers, introduce themselves to fellow business owners, and share the people and stories behind what they do.
Let Long Island Get to Know Your Business
People want to know who they’re doing business with.
They want to know how you got started, what drives you, and what makes your business part of the Long Island community.
As a Love Local Featured Business member, you’ll receive ongoing promotion through our website and biweekly newsletter.
Your membership includes:
- Newsletter spotlights: A dedicated introduction to your business at least once every 90 days.
- Homepage visibility: Placement in our Featured Local Businesses rotation.
- Priority placement: Featured positioning on eligible category and county pages.
- An enhanced business profile: A profile we prepare to showcase your services, photos, and business information.
And if you have a longer story to tell, you’re welcome to submit it for consideration as a standalone article on our blog.
What Kind of Business Story Can You Share?
A Business Spotlight gives readers a closer look at the people and work behind a local business.
Here are a few ideas:
- How it all started: Tell us why you launched your business and how it’s grown.
- A day in the life: Take readers behind the scenes of your daily operations.
- Meet the team: Introduce the people who make your business what it is.
- Your connection to Long Island: Share how your business serves or contributes to its community.
- The work you love: Talk about a project, customer experience, or part of your business that means something to you.
You can share your story in your own voice. We welcome personal experiences, original photos, and details that help readers get to know your business.
