During my 20 years as a successful business owner, I learned that advertising is first and foremost the key to any successful business. With that in mind, I’m pleased to introduce the first issue of Shop Long Island. I have created this monthly online magazine to showcase accomplished business professionals as well as Long Island’s merchants and services in an attractive, colorful format.

Our goal is to target an audience comprised of business owners, professionals, various trades and services as well as the educated consumer. In addition, Shop Long Island’s website provides direct links to each participant’s own website, enabling consumers to further explore the various products and services available to them.

I believe that Shop Long Island is the premiere vehicle to attractively feature and capture the essence of our local businesses. As a native Long Islander, now living in Garden City with my family, I am extremely proud and excited about this publication and the opportunity it affords our customers. I’d like to thank my staff, advertisers, and all those who have supported me in this endeavor.
