There's a real buzz around Business Port Macquarie right now, and it's not hard to see why.
Since the Business Awards, we've watched our reach grow in ways we didn't expect. The Awards alone delivered over 610,000 views across the night and the lead up week, with our Instagram lead up reach growing 658% year on year. Business Connect Magazine has driven more than 11,500 click throughs across just three issues. This isn't a one off spike either. It's a genuinely enormous, growing platform, and it's one every one of our members has access to.
More importantly than the numbers, though, is what members keep telling us. Since the Awards, businesses across our community say they finally understand what Business Port Macquarie is here to do: help you get found, help you tell your story, and connect you with people who genuinely understand what it takes to run a business here. Less competition, more collaboration. Less isolation, more community.
That's exactly what Business Connect Magazine has become. Not just another place to advertise, but a genuine platform for local businesses to be seen, to share what makes them tick, and to connect with a business community that's actively backing each other.
The July issue is closing, and once it's out, that's it until next quarter. Every business featured in this issue gets to lean into all of that reach at once, the magazine, our socials, our growing audience, all in one place.
If your business has a story worth telling, a win worth celebrating, or something you'd love this community to know, now is the time.
The businesses who show up in these pages aren't just being seen. They're being remembered, by a community that is watching, growing, and genuinely cheering each other on.
Want to be part of the July issue? Reach out to Kylie directly on executive@businesspmq.com.au; she'd love to include you.
