Queens Chamber Businesses of the Week
Dear Friends of the Queens Chamber of Commerce;
After working hard from the confines of our home offices and fielding so many calls from all over Queens, the Staff of the Queen Chamber decided to choose 5 businesses to feature each week who are all doing great things during this surreal time. If you know of a business going above and beyond that you want considered, kindly email us at info@queenschamber.org for consideration. Thanks!
Spectrum Reach - Spectrum Reach is dedicated to helping the local business community grow and be successful by putting their message in front of customers that use their services, buy their products and shop in their stores.
Now more than ever, the ability for small businesses to get a video message out to the community could make all the difference in helping them remain open and viable.
Spectrum Reach is offering the ability for local businesses to easily build their own 30-second video for FREE, through a partnership with Waymark.
The video can be used through social media channels, websites, digitally, and as a TV commercial. If they are interested in using the video as a TV commercial, they are offering 20% off the purchase of their first TV campaign.
For more information about creating a Waymark video, visit spectrumreach.com/rebound. A FAQ sheet is also attached for your reference.

Alianza Ecuatoriana Internacional - AEI, a community Center for immigrants from Corona, Queens, has taken the initiative to disinfect some of the streets in Queens most affected by COVID 19.
They began disinfecting in front of the Andean Community Center on 100th Street and Roosevelt Avenue and Corona Plaza on 103rd Street, one of the busiest areas of the neighborhood. This week the group of volunteers, most of them recovered from COVID 19, disinfected the streets around Elmhurst Hospital, one of the place most impacted by the virus.
"The workers want to return to their jobs and we want to help with a positive message, disinfecting the platforms and shopping areas, to stop the spread of the virus”, said Walter Sinche, Executive director, Alianza Ecuatoriana Internacional.
They have also distributed food to immigrants who do not have the resources to buy them.
Donations are important to expand this program to other affected areas. For those who want to request this service call or text 718-576-5311.
