Breast Cancer Survivors

Though most breast cancer survivors don’t get cancer again, the American Cancer Society notes that they are at higher risk for getting some types of cancer. According to the ACS, the most common second cancer in breast cancer survivors is another breast cancer. That only underscores the importance of continuing to get screened even after successful treatment. In addition to a second breast cancer, breast cancer survivors have a greater risk of developing salivary gland cancer, cancer of the esophagus, stomach cancer, colon cancer, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. The risk for thyroid cancer, sarcoma, melanoma of the skin, and acute myeloid leukemia also is greater after successful treatment for cancer.

Four Low-Cost Marketing Tips to Boost Your Business This Summer

By JoAnn Cilla

I love talking with local small business owners because I always get great ideas from them on how to promote my business. For my article this month, I decided to share with you four low-cost marketing tips that will help drive sales in the summer without breaking the bank.

Work with Other Local Businesses – This idea is a “no brainer.” Team up with nearby businesses to run joint promotions. This could be as simple as promoting each other on social media or as elaborate as co-hosting events, offering package deals, or running contests. It’s a “win-win. You can expand your reach, find new customers, and make your existing customers happy as well.

Use Social Media Creatively - Social media platforms are perfect for engaging directly with our local community. You can share promotional events, tell your story, and thank loyal customers. You can run contests where customers share photos using your product in

exchange for a chance to win a prize. However, you must use the right social media platform. You can’t be only on Facebook if all your customers are on Instagram. Ask them how they want to connect with you on social media and build your presence there!

Host or Sponsor Local Events - Summer is the best time to host events in our town, and to get involved in community activities. Consider hosting a workshop, a free class, or a community service event that is part of your business. You can also sponsor a local sports team or maybe a town

event. Events are a great and inexpensive way to promote your business locally.

Offer Time - Limited Promotions – What customer doesn’t love a limited time offer? Memorial Day, Father’s Day, and Independence Day are all great opportunities to attract new customers looking to make seasonal purchases. Offer 10% off a product or service the week before Memorial Day to bring customers into your store. The deals can be promoted through flyers, social media posts, and email campaigns to your existing customer base (You can give them something extra if they refer a new customer to your business).

The goal for these low-cost marketing tips is to increase your visibility and enhance your connection to the community. It’s a wonderful way to say “thank you” to your loyal customers too. With creativity and effort, your business can grow nicely this summer, proving that effective marketing doesn’t have to be expensive.

Insurance Tips And Information

When an offer that is Too Good To Be Believed is 100% believable

The cost of insurance premiums are rising. The cost to replace Homes and Autos is skyrocketing due to inflation, shortages, and increased risks. Yet, the cost of Renter insurance is not rising as quickly. The risk to insurers is not as great. What’s more, a Renter policy may be net free to car owners.

Many Property & Casualty insurers offer discounts for bundling products. The discount on an Auto policy may well offset the cost of a Renter policy. If a renter didn’t think they needed the coverage, they should

want it.

A Renter’s policy may offer coverage that protects the insured in three (3) critical ways:

· It protects possessions against loss due to fire or theft

· It protects from lawsuit if someone is injured while in the apartment

· It provides temporary housing if ever forced from the residence due to a covered claim….like a fire.

Have a car and rent your apartment, call your insurance agent for a bundled quote.

Legislator Donnelly And County Office For The Aging Announce Babylon And Huntington Spring Senior Advocate Schedule

Suffolk Legislator Tom Donnelly (D-Deer Park) is pleased to inform Babylon and Huntington residents about the local Suffolk County Office for the Aging Spring 2024 Senior Advocate Schedule. Senior advocates are County representatives who come out into the community and assist seniors with information

gathering, completion of eligibility or recertification applications and referrals to appropriate community agencies.

“This is an excellent chance for senior citizens to get the assistance and information they need by connecting with the County’s senior advocates right in their own communities,”

said Legislator Donnelly. “I hope all those interested in the services that the Suffolk County Office for the Aging provides will take advantage of this opportunity.”

“For more than three decades, the Suffolk County Office for the Aging has been providing full and trouble-free access to critical services,” Donnelly said. “I am glad to see their great professional community outreach program continue and hope that every senior resident will make full use of it.”
