For businesses

Your next booking is planning right now.

Host the Social puts your venue or service in front of people actively planning events on the Grand Strand — at the exact moment they're deciding where to spend their money.

How it works

Be in the room when the decision gets made

We're not a directory. We're a planning tool people use — and your business rides along.

Planners tell us their event

Type, guest count, area, indoor or outdoor, budget. Sixty seconds, and we know exactly what they're looking for.

You appear when you genuinely fit

Fit decides who appears — a business can't pay to show up for an event it doesn't serve. Among businesses that do fit, partners may be listed first, always clearly labeled.

Inquiries arrive with details attached

Every inquiry comes with the event type, date, and guest count — not "just wondering." You respond directly to the planner.

Our promise

Matching is never for sale

Fit decides who appears — a business can't pay to show up for an event it doesn't serve. Among businesses that do fit, partners may be listed first, always clearly labeled.

Paid status never changes whether or where you appear in fit-based results. That's the trust the whole site runs on — with planners and with you. Any sponsored placement is always clearly labeled, in its own separate area.

📅 Month-to-month

No 12-month contracts. No lock-in. Stay because it's working, not because you're stuck.

🎯 Fit-first, always

You only appear for events you actually serve. Your money never buys relevance you didn't earn.

Pricing

Simple, honest pricing

One ladder for venues and vendors. Paid from day one — no free trials, because commitment filters for partners who show up.

Questions

Business FAQ

How do inquiries work?

A planner fills out the inquiry form on your profile. You get an email with their event type, date, guest count, and details — and we make sure they hear back.

Is matching really not for sale?

Yes. You appear in results only when you genuinely fit the planner's event. Paid partners get preferred placement among valid matches — clearly labeled — but never appear for events they don't serve.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Month-to-month, no contract, no cancellation fee. Founding partners who cancel can rejoin later, but at whatever the current rate is.

What happens after the first 15 founding partners?

The founding rate closes. New partners join at $99/month. The 15 founders keep $49/month for life, as long as their subscription stays active.

How do I update my listing?

Email [email protected] — photos, amenities, pricing, availability. We handle updates personally while we're small.
