Two active promotions
Highlight a service, special offer, or seasonal promotion. Edit and replace your offers, and keep drafts and expired promotions for reuse.

Share workshops, grand openings, celebrations, and other genuine dated events. Approved event listings do not use your two promotion slots.
Basic activity reporting
See profile views and customer actions to understand interest. These signals do not guarantee enquiries or sales.
Simple to get started
Register. Get approved. Publish.
Create an owner account or use your existing account. Verify your email and submit your business for review. After approval, complete your profile and publish your first promotion.
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.
