Tips for Small Business Marketing in 2025: Leverage Social Media Marketing for Quick WinsSocial media marketing is a fast and cost-effective way to get your business in front of a targeted audience. Here’s how to leverage it effectively:Choose Platforms That Fit Your AudienceNot all social media platforms will work for every business, so choose the ones where your target audience spends the most time.Recommended Platforms:*Facebook: Ideal for local businesses and community engagement. The platform’s versatility makes it practical for many types of content—text, images, or videos.*Instagram: Great for visual content, such as showcasing products or sharing behind-the-scenes videos. Its Stories feature allows you to create timely, interactive content that engages followers.*LinkedIn: Best suited for B2B marketing and networking. LinkedIn is the perfect platform for sharing thought leadership, engaging with other professionals, and promoting business services.*TikTok: If your audience skews younger, TikTok is an excellent platform to showcase fun and engaging content. Short videos that are creative, entertaining, and informative work well here.#smallbusinesssocialmedia #impactofachamber #NassauCouncil #NassauCounty #chamberofcommerce #ShopLocal #SupportYourChamber #BuyLocal #longislandnetworkingevents #nassaucouncilofchambers #supportlocalcommerce #chambersstrong #strongertogether #longislandevents #longislandcommerce #longislandchambers #networkingevent #communitysupport #longislandsupport #longislandbusiness #nassaucounty #nassaucountybusiness #smallbusinesssupport #longislandsmallbusiness #longislandsmallbusinesses #chambersofcommerce #shoplocallongisland #supportyourchamberofcommerce #buylocallongisland #longislandbusinessnetworking ...

Tips for Small Business Marketing in 2025: A Series...Create and Optimize Your Google Business ProfileSetting up your Google Business profile is essential for small businesses to gain local visibility. With a Google Business profile, you can be found by people searching for products or services in your area. All FREE!Steps to Get Started:Create a Profile: Go to Google Business Profile and set up a profile, or claim yours, for your business.Add Key Information: Ensure you provide accurate information like your business hours, contact details, website, and address.Add Photos and Reviews: Upload a cover photo, logo and high-quality images of your products or premises. Ask satisfied customers to leave positive reviews to boost credibility.Post Updates: Use Google Posts to update your audience on offers or events. These can be posted as often as you wish and are a free marketing tool.Pro Tip: Respond to positive AND negative reviews to demonstrate customer engagement.A Google Business Profile helps you be found and improves your credibility as a business. Customers are more likely to trust a company with an established profile with plenty of reviews and photos. When optimizing your profile, consider the keywords people might use to find businesses like yours and include them in your business description.Furthermore, a regularly updated Google Business Profile helps increase your business’s ranking on Google Maps and local search results. This is critical for attracting foot traffic to a brick-and-mortar store or drawing attention in a local community. Keep your information current and showcase any new products or services you introduce.Real-World Example: A bakery in Austin, Texas, increased its customer visits by 30% after actively maintaining and optimizing its Google Business Profile for six months, focusing on customer reviews, updating offers, and posting pictures of its products.For steps on how to find or claim your Google Business Profile, see below:To find or claim your Google Business Profile, search for your business name on Google Maps or Google Search, and if it's unverified, you'll see a "Claim this business" option; otherwise, you can manage your existing profile. Here's a more detailed breakdown:1. Finding Your Business Profile:Google Maps:Open Google Maps, search for your business name, and if it's already listed, you'll see the business information. Google Search:Search for your business name on Google Search, and look for a box on the right side of the search results that displays your business information. 2. Claiming an Unverified Profile:If you see "Claim this business":Click on the "Claim this business" button, and follow the prompts to verify your business and gain management access. If you don't see "Claim this business":It means your business profile might not exist yet. You can then create a new profile by going to business.google.com/add and following the instructions. 3. Managing Your Business Profile:Once claimed:You'll be able to manage your business profile, including updating information, adding photos, and responding to reviews.Accessing your profile:On Google Maps, tap your profile picture on the top right corner of the mobile app and select “Your Business Profile” to access these tools.

Monthly Meetings

Sponsors

The Nassau Council of Chambers of Commerce (NCCC) is an umbrella organization and the united voice for all local Chambers of Commerce throughout Nassau County, New York. We are an extension of local chambers and volunteers dedicated to promoting, protecting and encouraging the success of Nassau County’s business community.

Small and mid-size businesses are the life blood of Long Island’s dense population. Nassau County is home to over 90,000 businesses, grossing billions of dollars and the vast majority of them employ 50 people or less. The Council stays abreast of local, regional and state issues that impact the business community.

We are a volunteer organization dedicated to addressing workable solutions. When commerce remains strong and vibrant all people of Nassau County benefit.

The 37th Annual Businessperson
of the Year & Legislative Breakfast
was another huge success.

Testimonials

Shop Local

Local businesses need local staff; it is that simple. By shopping locally, you are helping the shops and companies in your community to grow, which in turn leads to increased revenue, higher recruitment and more career opportunities opening up for everyone. Look at it this way: $10 million spent at  local businesses generates 57 new jobs. The same amount spent at an online retailer like Amazon creates just 13 jobs.
