CITY PARTNERS

Build Relationships. Support Local. Grow Something of Your Own.

Every great community is filled with locally owned businesses worth discovering.

The restaurants everyone recommends. The coffee shop where everybody knows your name. The boutique you can’t find anywhere else. The brewery, contractor, artist, attraction, inn, and family-owned business that give a hometown its personality.

Let’s Go Map! brings those businesses together.

And we’re looking for the right people to help us do it.

Homegrown City Partners serve as the local connection between Let’s Go Map!, Homegrown Members, community organizations, distribution partners, residents, and visitors.

You don’t need to reinvent the business.

We’ve built the brand, membership model, maps, digital platform, marketing materials, and systems.

You bring the relationships and local knowledge.

Together, we build the community. WHAT IS A HOMEGROWN CITY PARTNER?

A Homegrown City Partner is much more than a salesperson.

You’re the local face of Let’s Go Map!

You’ll introduce locally owned businesses to Homegrown Membership, develop relationships throughout your community, help establish distribution partnerships, and make sure our members remain connected and supported.

Think of yourself as a community builder with a business opportunity attached to it.

Your job isn’t to sell advertisements.

Your job is to build a network.

WE PROVIDE THE PLATFORM

You Don’t Have to Build This From Scratch.

One of the biggest advantages of becoming a City Partner is that the infrastructure is already being built for you.

Let’s Go Map! provides the tools and systems necessary to launch and grow your community, including:

• Established Let’s Go Map! branding
• Homegrown Membership program
• Professionally designed local maps
• Digital directory and discovery tools
• Member onboarding system
• Recurring membership billing
• Sales presentations and marketing materials
• Homegrown Gold Member stickers
• Website presence
• Social media content
• Member support resources
• Distribution strategy
• Ongoing training and guidance

You concentrate on what can’t be automated:

Building genuine local relationships.

WHO MAKES A GREAT CITY PARTNER?

We’re not necessarily looking for traditional advertising salespeople.

We’re looking for connectors.

People who genuinely like meeting business owners, exploring their communities, and introducing people to one another.

A great City Partner might already be involved in:

Local business.

Hospitality.

Tourism.

Community organizations.

Sales.

Marketing.

Real estate.

Events.

Economic development.

Or they may simply be the person who seems to know everyone in town.

The most important qualification?

You believe local businesses make communities better.

⸻

BUILD RECURRING INCOME

Homegrown Membership was intentionally designed around recurring membership rather than one-time seasonal advertising.

That creates something valuable for both our members and our City Partners:

Long-term relationships.

Instead of rebuilding an advertising book from zero every season, we’re building communities of members who can remain part of the network year after year.

As your local membership grows, so can your recurring income.

Specific City Partner compensation, territory opportunities, responsibilities, and independent-contractor terms are discussed during the application and interview process.

⸻

YOUR COMMUNITY. YOUR RELATIONSHIPS.

We believe every Let’s Go Map! community should retain its own personality.

Annapolis shouldn’t feel like Berkeley Springs.

Berkeley Springs shouldn’t feel like Ocean City.

And Ocean City shouldn’t feel like the next community we launch.

The national brand provides the system.

The City Partner brings the local personality.

You’ll help us understand what makes your community different and make sure Let’s Go Map! represents it authentically.

WE’RE GROWING ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME.

We want each community to work.

That means finding the right businesses.

The right partnerships.

The right distribution.

And most importantly…

The right local person.

If that’s you, we’d like to hear your story.
