Commack, NY

Social media content for Commack businesses, filmed inside your store, restaurant, or office.

Quick answer

Core Media Co., a photography and video studio at 523 Lake Avenue in Saint James, makes monthly social media content for Commack businesses: stores, restaurants, gyms, auto businesses, and offices along Jericho Turnpike, Veterans Memorial Highway, and Crooked Hill Road. We film around your busiest hours and hand over finished Reels, photos, and captions, ready to post. Plans run $1,500 to $4,000 per month with a six-month minimum.

Updated

Commack is southwest of our studio, through Smithtown, and its eastern part is in the same town as the studio. Most of its businesses sit in shopping centers and along the main roads, behind a sign and a parking lot that look a lot like the next ones down the road. Content is how the inside of your place gets seen first, so that is what we film: your store, restaurant, gym, shop, or office.

Each month we plan the pieces with you, film them in one or two content days, and hand over short form video, photos, and carousel posts with captions, cut for each platform and ready to post. You post them, or hand them to whoever runs your accounts, and you own the finished work. The tiers are the same on the Smithtown and the Huntington side of the hamlet.

Commack

Shopping centers and commercial corridors on the main roads

Commack is a hamlet split between the Town of Smithtown and the Town of Huntington, and it is a place defined by its roads. The Long Island Expressway, the Northern State Parkway, the Sunken Meadow State Parkway, and Jericho Turnpike all serve it, and Veterans Memorial Highway begins here, at a fork off Jericho Turnpike.

The Town of Smithtown's 2024 Comprehensive Plan describes the business side plainly. Commack Corners, where Jericho Turnpike meets Veterans Memorial Highway, is a regional shopping destination. Around Crooked Hill Road there are shopping centers, big box stores, restaurants, and other retail, and office buildings too. Along Jericho Turnpike the plan notes auto-oriented businesses, and more shopping centers near the Sunken Meadow State Parkway. From the road one plaza can look much like the next, so content for a Commack business is mostly about what happens inside: the floor, the service, the team, and the product.

Who it is for

Businesses on Jericho Turnpike, Veterans Memorial Highway, and Crooked Hill Road

For businesses in a plaza or on a main road, where the inside of the place has to do the work the storefront cannot.

  • Restaurants and cafes

    The kitchen, the plates, and the dining room, filmed before you open or between lunch and dinner.

  • Retail stores

    New stock, the displays, and the staff who know the product, filmed before the doors open.

  • Gyms and fitness studios

    A real class, the coaches, and the equipment, filmed during a session with permission from anyone on camera.

  • Auto businesses

    Dealers, detailers, body shops, and service bays: the work on the car, the finished result, and the person who did it.

  • Salons, barbers, and spas

    The chairs, the team, and the finished work, filmed on a slower weekday.

  • Medical, dental, and professional offices

    Your people and how a visit works, with patients and clients kept out of frame unless they sign a release.

Title agencies and lenders have their own pages, with notes on how the work is structured: title agencies and mortgage lenders.

On the day

Filming in a Commack plaza or on a main road

Most Commack content days happen inside one unit of a larger property, so the planning is about the landlord, the lot, and the clock.

  • The landlord and the lot

    A shopping center may have a landlord or management company with its own rules for common areas, sidewalks, and the parking lot. Inside your unit, the plan is set with you; for a shot of the storefront or the lot, we check with the property manager first.

  • Around your busiest hours

    We film when the room looks right and the staff can spare a few minutes: before opening for a store, between lunch and dinner for a restaurant, and during a real class for a gym.

  • Town property, in two towns

    Commack sits in two towns, and each has its own process for town property. Huntington requires a film permit application, filed with the Town Attorney at least 5 business days ahead, for photography on Town property. Smithtown asks for a letter to the Town Attorney before any activity on Town property. A content day at your business rarely involves either.

  • The state roads

    Jericho Turnpike is State Route 25 and Veterans Memorial Highway is State Route 454, and the state requires a film permit when filming affects their traffic. We film from your property, not from the road.

A content month

What a month of content looks like

Three tiers, the same ones on the For Business page and the same in every town. Partner is $1,500, Partner+ is $2,750, and Flagship is $4,000 per month, each with a six-month minimum term, then month to month. Every tier includes a content calendar planned in advance.

Examples of how each tier tends to fill for a Commack store, restaurant, or gym. The content calendar sets the real mix before anything is filmed.

  1. Partner

    $1,500 per month

    One content day, usually before you open. Four to six finished pieces, for example a product or menu Reel, a staff introduction, a short how-to, and a carousel of what is new, delivered within 5 business days.

  2. Partner+

    $2,750 per month

    Two content days, one early in the month and one later, so the content keeps up with what changes on the shelves or the menu. One long form video of 5 to 10 minutes, such as a walk through the business with the owner, ten short form pieces, and three to four static or carousel posts. 3 business day turnaround.

  3. Flagship

    $4,000 per month

    A weekly presence: 16+ finished pieces a month, 48 hour turnaround, and event coverage included, such as a grand opening, an anniversary, or a sale weekend.

Process

How a shoot day at your business works

  1. Discovery call, 20 minutes

    We ask about your goals, your customers, and what you want to be known for. No filming yet.

  2. Content plan, one week

    You get a month-one calendar with concepts and formats before anyone points a camera, so you know which pieces are Reels and which are posts.

  3. Content day at your place

    Half a day at your shop, restaurant, salon, or office, or at our studio on Lake Avenue in Saint James. We bring the full setup and batch the month's pieces in one visit.

  4. Delivery, ready to post

    Finished pieces in your shared folder, edited, formatted for each platform, and handed over with captions. You post them.

  5. Monthly rhythm

    Same day each month, plus a short check-in on what performed.

Andre LaBarbera

"This was my first project with Core Media. As a realtor I always have videos of my listings but on this very special new construction, I need something truly different and special. Core Media took my photos and made a video come to life showing real people in all different rooms. This gave me a new way to showcase the home and really portray what it looks like to live there. Realistic plus many creative twists, made this video a show stopper. I highly recommend them."

Questions

Questions Commack businesses ask us

Who makes social media content for businesses in Commack, NY?
Core Media Co., a photography and video studio at 523 Lake Avenue in Saint James. We film stores, restaurants, gyms, auto businesses, and offices along Jericho Turnpike, Veterans Memorial Highway, and Crooked Hill Road, and hand over a month of finished Reels, photos, and captions, ready to post. Plans run $1,500 to $4,000 per month with a six-month minimum.
Can you film inside our store in a shopping center?
Yes. Inside your unit, we plan the day with you and film around your hours, usually before opening. For the storefront, the sidewalk, or the parking lot, we check the shopping center's rules with you or the property manager first, and anyone who appears on camera, staff or customer, signs a release.
Does it matter which side of Commack our business is on?
Not for the price or the plan. Commack is split between the Town of Smithtown and the Town of Huntington, and the tiers are the same on either side. The town only matters if a shot needs town property, since each town has its own process, and a content day at your business rarely does.
How much does monthly content cost for a Commack business?
Partner is $1,500, Partner+ is $2,750, and Flagship is $4,000 per month, each with a six-month minimum term, then month to month. Partner is 1 content day and 4 to 6 finished pieces a month. Partner+ is 2 content days, 1 long form video of 5 to 10 minutes, 10 short form pieces, and 3 to 4 static or carousel posts. Flagship is a weekly presence with 16+ pieces and event coverage included. A business in Commack pays the same tiers as a business next door to the studio.
Do you post to our Instagram for us?
No. We make the content and hand it over ready to post: the finished files and their captions, formatted for each platform, in a shared folder. You post them, or pass them to whoever runs your account. Posting stays with you.
