Agree on goals, area, businesses, campaign dates, offers, and budget.
Invite your community

Track resident signups, confirmed neighbor meetings, and offer redemptions by business. Use the results to report on the campaign, and residents’ shared interests and feedback to shape future activities—with a way to invite interested participants.
