Is there a charge to post events or offers?
Yes and no. To make it easy, here is the gist:
- If you signed up with us, you have a designated amount of included offers and events. It depends on the program you chose.
- If you did not sign up with us, it’s a mere $20 per event.
- You cannot post an offer if you do not have an account with us.
How is this different from Yelp or Trip Advisor?
We focus on LOCAL! If you need anything at all to drive traffic to your event or your business, we are in your backyard and easy to reach!
- Responsive to your need for immediate changes
- You are in our LIVE MAPS! So if somebody hops on the app, all businesses in the vicinity (5-mile radius) appear.
- We promote your events, i.e., ribbon cutting, open houses, etc.
