You commented. Here’s your invitation.
I want to put your business in the spotlight.
You took a minute to tell me about your business. I noticed. Now I want to do something more useful than just hit “like” and move on.
I’m Eric Martin Koppelman, and I’m inviting you to become a Community Partner with The Bridge Long Island. I’ve put together a visibility package built around your business, your story and the people you serve.
$100. One payment.
YOUR FIRST 12 MONTHS OF BUSINESS VISIBILITY.
Launch offer for the first 50 approved partners who sign up by November 30, 2026. Category availability and approval required.
See everything I’m including A personal note from Eric
“You work hard at your business. I want people to know who you are, what you do and why they should call you. Let me show you what I’ve put together.”
Here’s the audio Eric asked you to listen to first.
This is where we start
I come to your business.
We tell your story.
We sit down face-to-face at your Long Island business for a video interview. How did you get started? What do you do today? Where do you want to take it next?
I want people to meet the person behind the business. The locksmith who answers the call. The business owner who remembers your name. The person who built something from scratch and is still showing up every day.
We turn that conversation into a business spotlight to share through The Bridge and our media network. You receive your finished interview to use in your own marketing, too.
Your story is the starting point. Your profile, display ad, audio and ongoing promotion give people more ways to find you after the interview.
Your Community Partner visibility package
Here’s what else you get.
Your own business profile
A dedicated page with its own link
A business profile with your story, services, contact information, website, social links and media. A place to send people who want to learn more about you.
A display ad with your QR code
Custom 600 × 600 design
A display ad created for your business, with a QR code that takes people to your profile or website. Included placement on The Bridge, Long Island News Network and 495.fm websites.
A place on the Partner Wall
Community Partner membership included
Your business joins The Bridge’s Community Partner Wall and directory, with visibility through Long Island Local Search so people can find your services and contact you.
“Who Do You Call?”
Your business. Your approved category.
Inclusion in our campaign that connects everyday needs with local businesses. When we feature your category, your business is the Community Partner we put in the spotlight.
On-air & social promotion
Throughout your 12-month membership
Scheduled promotion for your business and interview through The Bridge, with additional exposure through Long Island News Network, 495.fm and our social channels.
A custom 60-second audio ad
Launch bonus for the first 50 partners
A produced audio commercial with a custom jingle, aired across all three stations. You also receive the finished audio to share through your own business channels.
A Long Island Patch feature
Launch bonus for the first 50 partners
A written article about your business, prepared and submitted to Long Island Patch for publication consideration. Publication depends on acceptance by Patch.
Your package covers the production and promotion described here. Placement schedules and content formats are coordinated after acceptance; no specific audience size, number of leads or sales is promised.
One business per approved category
Let’s see if your category is available.
Each approved Community Partner gets an exclusive business category within this program. We agree on the category before your membership is accepted.
If you’re our partner for that category, we won’t put another Community Partner in the same approved category beside you. That gives our “Who Do You Call?” campaign a clear business to feature.
You commented. Now let’s talk about your business.
Your comment is the invitation to take the next step. Your category is confirmed when your application is approved.
I’m interested — what’s next?Why The Bridge?
Faith for real life.
That includes how we do business.
The Bridge Long Island is a Christian station. To me, faith has a lot to do with how we treat people when we get up and go to work.
It means being honest. Keeping your word. Helping a neighbor. Recognizing the person who is working hard to support a family and keep a business going.
This Community Partner Program is one way I can put that into practice. I can use my microphone, my experience and the media we’re building to help local business owners tell their stories.
Do you have to be a Christian to join? No. I’m looking for people who run their businesses honestly, treat customers well and want to support other local businesses. People of different faiths, or no faith, are welcome to apply.

The Bridge leads. Our network adds more visibility.

Community Partners agree to look to fellow members first when they need a service. It’s a practical way to support the people who are helping build this community with you.
What happens after you’re accepted
We get to work.
First 7 days: Your visibility review
We collect your business information, review your current presence and deliver your written visibility analysis and action plan.
Days 8–30: Build your media
Your profile, display ad and audio commercial are created. We prepare your directory listing and start coordinating your promotion.
Days 31–60: Tell your story
We schedule your on-location video interview around our availability and yours, then prepare your business spotlight for sharing.
Through month 12: Keep showing up
Your business remains part of the program, with continued on-air and social promotion, your profile and directory presence, and participation in “Who Do You Call?”
These production timeframes begin after approval, payment and receipt of the business information and assets needed to start. Interview dates are arranged together.
A few straight answers
Know what you’re joining.
Is $100 really for the entire year?
Yes. One $100 payment covers your first 12 months under this launch offer. There is no monthly payment or setup fee for that introductory year. Any applicable card fee is shown before you pay.
Does commenting mean I’m already approved?
No. Your comment is why I’m sharing this invitation. We still need to review your business and confirm that your category is available. The launch offer is limited to the first 50 approved partners who sign up by November 30, 2026.
What if my business isn’t accepted?
If you pay and your application is not approved, your $100 is refunded. Production begins after acceptance. Once production has begun, the package payment is non-refundable.
Are you guaranteeing customers?
I can promise the work included in this package. I can’t promise how many customers it will bring you. The purpose is to give your business more ways to be seen, heard, recognized and remembered.
What happens after the first year?
This invitation covers 12 months. The regular Community Partner price is $99 per month. We’ll discuss continuing before your introductory year ends; this offer does not commit you to monthly payments after that year.
