Turn Local Community Into
Your Greatest Advantage
Join the Bull City Business Society—a 6-month membership that keeps your business in front of engaged local residents through experiences, features, and community-driven campaigns.
Why The Business Society Exists
National brands can outspend you.
But they can’t out-community you.
We created this to help locally operated businesses win by doing what they do best—showing up for the people who actually live here.
The Bull City Business Society is how we organize that effort: a curated group of local businesses we regularly feature, invite into campaigns, and send more residents to experience in real life.
If you’re tired of chasing algorithms and one-off ads, this is for you.
What You Get As A Business Society Member
Ongoing visibility with local residents. We keep your business in front of our resident membership, not just once, but over your full 6-month term. That means more local awareness.
Access to curated community activations. Instead of random promos, we design in-person experiences that make residents actually come through your doors, to your website, or directly to you. That means more traffic and more leads.
Collaboration with network of local-first businesses. Be first in line when we design cross-business collaborations and themed campaigns. That means new customers and partnerships.
Prices range from just $500-$1500 for an entire 6 months!
We bring you the options, you say yes or no.
You choose which opportunities fit your capacity or goals.
“First of all, you all have really put me on to some new spots & I love it! And this collab is 🔥! I appreciate the energy you’ve put into my business!”
