Shanel Thomas-Henry

Going back to introduction 408, currently, what are the different advertising available to small businesses through the city?

Haris Khan

Thank you, Council Member.

Haris Khan

So on 408, we provide digital marketing supports.

Haris Khan

We provide social media support and understanding how and what the best practices are to engage with these platforms.

Haris Khan

We also work with Link Local, which is with Link NYC on a program we've jointly supported called Link Local, where we provide neighborhood-based advertising for small businesses and community organizations

Haris Khan

on Link NYC kiosks across the city.

Haris Khan

So that's another way by which businesses can engage in access-free and digital marketing.

Haris Khan

And that service, there's an easy-to-use template for business owners.

Haris Khan

They don't have to go through a complete, very, very complicated process to get their business up on these Link NYC kiosks and another partnership and collaboration with Link NYC to get that done.
