BBA Business Tip Tuesday!

Collect and Showcase "Micro-Reviews" on Social Media

Are your happy local customers leaving rave reviews on Google or Yelp, but those comments are staying hidden on your profile page?

If you want to turn everyday customer satisfaction into instant trust for new local clients walking through your doors in Bayside, Flushing, Douglaston, or Little Neck...

Here is your quick Tuesday Tip...

Repurpose positive feedback into "Micro-Reviews" for your social media graphics and stories!

Instead of waiting for word-of-mouth or letting great feedback sit unnoticed, pull a powerful one-sentence quote from a real review, drop it onto a clean graphic with your brand colors, and share it on your feed.

Why it works: Social proof is one of the fastest ways to build credibility. When prospective customers see that a neighbor down the street had a fantastic experience with your business, hesitation disappears.

How to use it: Highlight a specific compliment about your customer service, quick turnaround, or local expertise. Always tag or thank the platform source (e.g., "Thanks for the great feedback on Google, Sarah!") to encourage others to leave reviews, too.

Try turning a recent review into a quick spotlight graphic or story today and watch how easily it drives new inquiries!

Give this a try and let us know how it worked for your business.

If you have a business tip you want to share, email [email protected] and we will arrange to share your tip and credit you for the knowledge you are sharing.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us last night for the Bayside Business Association’s Mets & Mingle Networking Night Recap, August 18th, 2026, at Citi Field!

We were having so much fun networking and taking in the atmosphere that we only managed to snap a few quick pics! If you captured any photos during the night, we’d love for you to email them our way at [email protected].

As for the action on the field, it was a hard-fought battle right down to the final out...nothing beats a summer night of baseball and community building at our home stadium.

Thanks again to everyone who made it an unforgettable night out!

Is your business showing up when locals search for what you do right here in northeast Queens?

If you want to capture more foot traffic and neighborhood leads in Bayside, Flushing, Douglaston, or Little Neck

By actively embedding neighborhood names, local landmarks, and community cross-streets into your content, search engines and local customers immediately know you are right around the corner and ready to help.

Try updating your Google Business Profile service areas or your next post caption today and watch your local visibility grow! Give thsi a try and let us know how it worked for you.

All In for Flynn: Community Fundraiser Event
Come together as a community to support our long-time Bayside staple Jaimie Flynn, her husband Chris, and their three boys (Connor, Brayden, and Dylan) as they face their toughest fight yet. Jaimie has spent over 25 years serving our community with kindness and an open heart at Bourbon Street, and now it is our turn to take care of her family.

Event Name: All In for Flynn Fundraiser Event

Date: Saturday, October 17, 2026

Time: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Location: Bourbon Street Rooftop, 40-12 Bell Boulevard, Bayside, NY 11361

Donation: $100 donation includes a buffet, open bar, and live music.

Additional Activities: Basket raffle, 50/50 raffle, grand prize raffle, and exclusive "All In for Flynn" merchandise.

Chris was diagnosed with prostate cancer about a year ago, and six months later the family faced a devastating diagnosis of cardiac AL amyloidosis. With treatments no longer effective, Chris is preparing to begin an innovative immunotherapy and potentially become eligible for a heart transplant, creating an overwhelming financial burden from mounting medical expenses and the loss of income.

Some battles are too big to fight alone. Join the Bayside Business Association and our board member Mark Boccia in showing up for the Flynn family.

Can’t attend? Scan the QR code on the flyer or reach out to support the family and make a direct donation.
