Instagram Feature

Are you a local Vancouver Island Business?

Share with our Pacific Northwest Community your business story, the incredible things you offer, and your passion for doing it.

How It Works

A primary business feature shared with our community is valued at $450. This value is based on our targeted reach, the behind-the-scenes marketing work conducted, & the content we produce. We work on a partial trade-basis in order to continue to make this economy and opportunity accessible, creative, and uniquely beneficial.

We offer smaller feature packages for new product releases, grand openings, or seasonal marketing opportunities and events.

    1. A professionally curated post on our grid.

    1. A 'story series' diving into the details of your business, your origin story, & how your business benefitted our local lifestyles.

    2. We keep you in mind and welcome you to our What's Good Business network for future collaborations.

    3. Exposure to a primarily Vancouver Island based following currently seeking out more local businesses to explore!

  • We love collaborating with local businesses! It brings us joy to get to continuously explore all this island & the Pacific Northwest Region has to offer... not to mention the amazing people behind it!

    Step 1: head on over to our intake form & fill it out! This part is super quick and easy as it just adds you into our system (basically, it let’s our computers be friends first so that they don’t get in the way of our doing business).

    Step 2: Once we see your form in our mailbox, we send over the ~Official Feature Form~. This document takes about 30 minutes to complete & this information is the foundation of your feature. It allows us to represent you to the best of our abilities and ensure we don’t miss any critical information. This form also discusses the ways in which we will trade products, services, or experiences.

    Step 3: Once we receive this form back, we will communicate regarding how we will be exchanging the trade & capturing your content.

    Step 4: After we have had some time to weave together your form with our content, we draft up your feature & send you an email with a date that your feature is expected to air!

  • The goal with our marketing strategy it to humanize the economy. Part of the trade value comes from our ability to actually interact with your offerings in a deeply personal way, so that we can properly communicate to our audience not just what you provide, but how it is benefitted our local lifestyle! Our aim is to help individuals make conscious and intentional decisions when engaging in the economy, and much of that starts with knowledge-sharing about who you are, what you make, who you create for, and why you do it.

    If you have any questions at all~ please don't hesitate to reach out! We look forward to hearing about how we can work together to grow together.
