Advertise

Reach Long Island business where it already looks

The Chamber sells its own advertising. No ad network, no third-party trackers, and no auction: your ad, on the Chamber's own pages, in front of the people who run businesses here.

Why here

A small audience that is entirely the right one

This is not a site with a million readers. It is the site Long Island businesses come to when they are looking for a supplier, an event, or the Chamber itself. Advertising here is a recommendation from the Chamber, not an interruption from a network.

Who is reading

Members and the businesses around them: 415 companies and the people who run them, plus anybody searching for a Long Island supplier.

No auction, no network

Ads are booked with the Chamber and served from its own database. You know exactly which pages you are on and who else is there.

No tracking, at all

The site carries no advertising trackers and no advertising cookies. Impressions and clicks are counted first-party, and reported to you plainly.

Packages

Built into the site, not bolted on

Every placement is served by this site itself, from the Chamber's own ad system. Your creative loads with the page, sits inside what people came to read, and reports real impressions and clicks back to you.

Standard

One square, everywhere squares run

A 1:1 card that takes its place among the Chamber's own cards: in the news grid on the home page, the sponsor row, the news archive, the member feed, the calendar and the directory. It reads as part of the page, with your link one tap away.

  • Runs in every square placement you book
  • Rotates through the placements on every visit
  • Desktop and phone, one creative
  • Real impression and click counts included

Rates on request

Enhanced

A banner plus a square

The big canvas: full-width banners on the home page, above and inside stories, on the feed, the calendar and the directory, and above the footer on every page. The square is real inventory too: it runs in every square placement, and on phones it stands in for the banner so the ad stays readable.

  • Every banner placement, plus every square one
  • Above the footer on every page of the site
  • The square carries the message on phones
  • Real impression and click counts included

Sponsored story

Your story, told properly

A full piece written with you: your story, your photos, your links, in the same format as the Chamber's own news and always marked as contributed by your business. It lives permanently in the archive with its own URL and keeps working long after a campaign ends.

  • Written with the Chamber, approved by you
  • Always marked as yours, which readers trust
  • A permanent home in the news archive
  • Shareable and linkable like any story

Quoted per story

Placements

Every placement, drawn in position

17 placements across the site, each shown on the page it runs on with the ad picked out in orange. Two artwork sizes cover all of them: one square and one banner puts you everywhere.

Banner

Home: top banner

Full width under the hero, the first thing on the site after the welcome.

Square

Home: in the news grid

A card inside the run of stories on the home page, among the Chamber's own news.

After a form

On the thank-you page every form lands on, when somebody has just reached out.

Banner

Every page: footer banner

Above the footer on every page of the site, including this one.

Placements rotate, so a single buy appears across many pages rather than being nailed to one, and a placement with nothing sold renders nothing at all. The Chamber will design the creative for you if you would rather not supply artwork.

A sponsored story is specced with you. Ask for a quote and the Chamber will say exactly what it needs.

A standing presence

Or put your name on the room

Advertising reaches somebody reading. Sponsorship reaches everybody in the room, and the Chamber says your name from the front of it. And a listing keeps you in the directory all year.

Let's talk

Tell the Chamber who you want to reach

Every placement starts with a conversation, not a checkout. Say what you offer and who you want in front of it, and the Chamber comes back with the options that fit, the rates, the specs and real numbers on how campaigns perform.

How quickly can a campaign start?

Usually within a few business days. Once your creative is approved it goes straight into the live rotation. A sponsored story takes a little longer, because the Chamber writes it with you.

What reporting do I get?

Real numbers from the Chamber's own ad system: actual impressions served and actual clicks recorded on this site. No third-party trackers, no modeled estimates, no black box.

Can you help with the creative?

Yes. Send your logo and the essentials and the Chamber will put the placement together with you, and you approve everything before it runs.

Do members get better terms?

Yes. Chamber members get first refusal on placements and member rates, and every ad carries a link to your listing in the directory.

What cannot be advertised?

Anything misleading. Every campaign is reviewed before it runs, and the Chamber does not accept claims a business cannot stand behind. Beyond that, if you serve Long Island business, you are welcome.

Advertising inquiry

Get a quote

Tell the Chamber what you offer and who you want to reach. Someone replies personally with rates, specs and a recommendation, usually within two business days. Nothing is charged.

Required

Membership

Members advertise on better terms

Chamber members get first refusal on placements and member rates. Dues start at $250 a year.
