No payment card or subscription required

Your approved business can publish a profile, two active promotions, and separate genuine local events. Optional paid plans and tools may be offered later. Basic membership remains free.

Read the membership details

Basic business membership is free and will remain available when optional paid plans are introduced. No payment card, subscription, or invitation is required. Email verification, Durham Region eligibility, and business approval apply.

After approval, publish a business profile and up to two active promotions at a time. Keep drafts and expired promotions for future use. Scheduled promotions must also respect the two-promotion limit on every date.

Genuine dated local events are listed separately and do not use promotion slots. Events are subject to approval and fair-use rules. Ordinary sales and ongoing advertising belong in promotions; avoid duplicate event listings.

Basic activity reporting is included. Views and customer actions are interest signals, not guaranteed enquiries or sales. Audience size and business results are not guaranteed.

Optional paid plans and additional tools may be introduced later with their own published features, prices, and terms. They are not included in basic membership and will require a separate, explicit purchase. Free basic membership will not automatically become a paid subscription.

What happens next?

Verify your account email, then wait for business approval. After approval, sign in to publish your profile and first promotion. No payment is required.
