If you’re part of a Main Street, BID, chamber of commerce, or destination marketing team, you know how important it is to connect people to local businesses, events, and experiences. But juggling outdated listings, static maps, and scattered event calendars can eat up valuable time and make your district harder to discover.

That’s where Vibemap comes in.

We’re an integrated platform built specifically for destination marketing organizations and place-based partnerships. Whether you’re running a downtown association, organizing Restaurant Week, or promoting tourism in your city, Vibemap helps you create engaging, vibe-driven experiences both online and in person.

What Is Vibemap?

Vibemap is a complete digital solution for place-based engagement. We combine business listings, events, maps, content, and check-in challenges into one cohesive platform that supports your goals and reflects your district’s unique identity.

We partner with:

Main Streets and Place Management Organizations Chambers of commerce Downtown partnerships and merchant associations Destination Marketing Organizations Restaurant Week campaigns City departments and cultural organizations And more!

Two Ways to Get Started: Basic vs. Premium Packages

We offer two partnership tiers. Whether you’re looking to improve your website or launch a citywide campaign, we have a path forward.

Basic Package: Build a Strong Digital Foundation

The Basic Package is perfect for districts that want to clean up their data, improve their digital footprint, and make it easier for people to explore.

Included tools:

Business Listings We complete, manage, and maintain your CRM and point-of-interest data so you can build a reliable local business directory. Learn More. Events Feed We power a curated, always-fresh calendar of local events that lives on your site. This is perfect for Restaurant Weeks, cultural happenings, and seasonal promotions. Learn More. Embedded Maps Our interactive map tool helps visitors navigate your district by vibe, category, or location. Discovery becomes more fun, intuitive, and meaningful. Learn More

These tools are fully integrated and require minimal staff effort. It is a low-lift, high-impact way to showcase your district’s offerings.

Premium Package: Everything in Basic Plus a Discounted Digital Passport

If you’re planning a seasonal promotion, scavenger hunt, or activation campaign , the Premium Package offers the best value. You get everything from the Basic Package, plus a digital passport or check-in challenge at a reduced rate.

Passports are a great fit for:

Restaurant Weeks and food crawls Shop-local holiday campaigns Arts districts and mural walks Family-friendly scavenger hunts Summer or seasonal activations

They are designed to reward exploration, support local businesses, and help you gather insights and engagement data in real time.

Need Something More Custom? Build Your Own
