Let’s talk partnership!
The partnerships we have with local businesses are how we help our followers and members discover and share the best that Richmond has to offer. Whether you're a small business, large company, social do-gooder or non-profit, we can help you reach a targeted, engaged audience from the Richmond community.
We have a community of over 98,500+ Instagram followers with an average of 104,000+ individuals engaging every month. Our 3,700+ paid members receive weekly emails and gain access to 200+ city guides on our member dashboard.
With a variety of partnership opportunities and price points, we have something that can help meet your goals while staying within budget. Plus, a portion of every business partnership is donated to Habitat for Humanity, our official non-profit partner. Sounds like a win-win-win, right? We think so too.
