Put Your Business in Front of All West Michigan.
Tired of juggling 15 different advertising platforms just for your posts to get buried? We’re building West Michigan’s all-in-one community platform where locals discover events, find businesses, and connect with each other. Be in the spotlight from day one.
Be among the first to know when we launch & get exclusive perks.
Who It's For
Built for the people who make GR great
Whether you're throwing events or running a restaurant, this platform works for you.
Event Organizers
From Eastown block parties and pop-up markets to 21+ nightlife and community festivals — list, manage, and promote your events to a ready-to-go local audience. Collect feedback, track attendance interest, and follow up with attendees automatically.
Business Owners
Get your brewery, boutique, coffee shop, or service business in front of locals who are actively looking to discover and support independent West Michigan businesses. Sponsor events, get featured in newsletters, and build a loyal local following.
Platform Features
Everything you need to reach the 616 community
We're not another generic, national platform. Our tools are built specifically for local organizers and business owners.
Easy Event Management
Create and publish events in minutes. Set dates, locations, categories, and photos. Edit or cancel with one click and your attendees are notified automatically.
Promoted Event Listings
Boost your event to the top of discovery feeds and category pages. Reach locals who are actively looking for things to do, not passively scrolling.
Business Profile Page
A dedicated page for your business displaying hours, location, photos, links, and your upcoming events. All tied together so customers always know what's new.
Newsletter Spotlights
Get featured in the Whats Poppin GR community newsletter sent directly to local subscribers. A direct line into the inboxes of engaged West Michigan residents.
Event Sponsorship Badges
Businesses can sponsor events to show your logo and brand directly on the event listing, on social shares, and in post-event follow-up emails to all attendees.
Post-Event Feedback Forms
Automatically send attendees a feedback form after your event. Gather ratings, testimonials, and insights to improve future events and build social proof.
Organizer Analytics
See who's viewing your listings, how many people saved or shared your event, and where your traffic is coming from. Real data, not vanity metrics.
Attendee Coordination Tools
Maximize your reach and predict attendance with ease. Attendees can seamlessly save and broadcast your event to their social circles. Leverage direct invites to turn tonight’s crowd into a permanent, built-in audience for future events.
Hyper-Local Discovery
Your business and events are surfaced to people actively searching in the 616, sorted by neighborhood, category, date, and vibe. No national competition drowning you out.
