If you own an independent business in a rural resort town, the LocalStash Travelers Program is for you — and it’s 100% free.

• No fees.
• No contracts.
• No gimmicks.

       Just more travelers finding your business.

What Is LocalStash?

LocalStash is a national “local-first” discovery platform that helps travelers find authentically local businesses — the cafés, restaurants, breweries, boutiques, galleries, outfitters, and hidden gems run by people who actually live in the community.

It’s a hidden place.

       It’s a local treasure.

Travelers carry the LocalStash Travelers Card, and when they visit your shop and show the card, you simply offer them a 10% thank-you discount.

That’s it.

       You only give the discount when someone presents the card.

Why Join LocalStash (Free for EARLY Local Businesses)

Bring More Travelers to Local-Owned Shops

       We send visitors to your front door — not to chains or franchises.

It’s Performance-Based

• No fees.
• No ads.
• No subscriptions.

       You only give a discount when a traveler shows the card.

What do you GET?

       You’ll get a 1 minute video, a blog post, a map pin, business profile, and visibility on your town page.

We Mail You a Window Sticker

       This helps travelers know you accept the card and makes you part of the growing local-first network.

Builds Repeat Business & Word of Mouth

       Travelers love supporting local-owned shops — and they tell their friends.

Part of a National Local-First Movement

       LocalStash already includes hundreds of towns across the U.S., with Colorado and New Mexico live today.

Early Business Bonus

       The first 20 locally owned businesses in each town are free for life — locked in as early founding partners.

Who Qualifies?

Simple rules:

Must be locally owned

       The owner lives and works in the community. No franchises or chains.

Must serve travelers

Example categories:

• Activities & recreation
• Arts & entertainment
• Bakeries, cafés, coffee & tea
• Bars & nightlife
• Breweries, wineries, distilleries
• Restaurants
• Retail shops & boutiques

       If travelers might visit you — you’re a perfect fit.

How LocalStash Activates a Town

       We officially “activate” a town when 4 local-owned businesses sign up to accept the Travelers Card.

At that moment:

• Your town gets its own LocalStash page
• The map goes live
• Travelers begin receiving recommendations
• Seasonal campaigns begin
• Ambassadors start producing content

       This helps your town gain real visibility fast.

Why Is This Free? (The Fair & Honest Part)

       Our mission is to bring more traveler dollars into small-town rural economies.
                                                                                                                                     We Are Proudly Rural :]
