Help the Rockaways Ride the Wave with this Marketing Initiative!
In an effort to highlight our beloved small businesses, the Rockaway Business Alliance and the Queens Chamber of Commerce have partnered with The Rockaway Wave to present the “Eat. Shop. Support.” marketing initiative.
This marketing initiative will help connect local Rockaway residents with businesses by accomplishing the following:
• Aggregating a list (in print & online) of all small businesses in our community, and making it easy to contact them via a click or call
• Publishing a creative map in the paper to highlight small business locations in the community
• Advertising local businesses on social media via organic, engaging photos and video posts
• Hosting a “Favorite Rockaway Business” contest to win a one night stay at The Rockaway Hotel
• Offering one complimentary marketing meeting (via Zoom) to any local business owners who would like help with their marketing strategy

The campaign above will help local residents:
• Become aware of the urgency of supporting local during this time
• Provide an easy way to view and contact all Rockaway businesses via a list in print and via The Wave’s Website.
• See new specials and offerings from our local businesses via The Rockaway Wave Instagram & Facebook.
Both restaurants and retail businesses will have a unique list, making it easy to look through Rockaway’s favorite local businesses all in one place.
To read the full details of this campaign and to see the list so far, click here. If your business is not on the list yet, please email john@rockawave.com and they will include you right away!
“Our team at the Queens Chamber of Commerce is inspired by all of you Rockaway business owners; your commitment to keep restaurant doors open, to employ locals, and provide the hospitality that so many of us need, each and every day,” said Tom Grech, President and CEO of the Queens Chamber of Commerce.
A big thanks to the RBA for powering this marketing initiative!
