Free Williamsburg Marketing Opportunities

1. Airport Booth Prizes
We’re sponsoring the Williamsburg Airport 55th Anniversary Airshow (Sept 20-21) and want to feature your business for FREE!

At our booth, we’re running games and would love to give away your prizes. Think gift cards, product examples, or coupons. Any size works. You provide the prizes, we’ll handle everything else, putting your brand in front of 100’s of residents.

It's the easiest marketing you'll do all year. Zero effort on your part, maximum exposure for your brand. We'll make sure everyone knows exactly where these awesome prizes came from + post about it on our social media channels.

2. 2026 Williamsburg Discount Cards

The Early Burg is always looking for ways to get residents through the doors of local businesses more often. One idea we’re excited about is a 2026 wallet-sized discount card featuring just 10–12 local spots. It’s a simple card that keeps customers coming back and gives new people a reason to try your place for the first time. The best part? We don’t charge you anything to join. All you have to do is honor the card when presented.

3.The Early Burg Business Directory/Recommendations

We’re also building a Williamsburg area recommendation website. Imagine a business directory, review site, and local Facebook group rolled into one, only BETTER. (Residents will actually want to use it over and over again)

Here’s what makes us different:

Quality over quantity. Instead of 1,000’s of businesses competing for attention, we’ll feature 3–5 per category. You’ll get more attention year-round with less competition.

What you get beyond typical directories:

• Personal Early Burg recommendation

• Video showcasing your business

• Photo of us visiting your location

• Space for current offers/discounts

This is currently in development and would love to start partnering.

4. Golf Tournament

We’re looking to plan a golf tournament in the near future to help local businesses connect, have some fun, and maybe earn a little bragging rights. If we put it together, would you be interested in joining?
