The Founding 50
We’re opening Thames Coast to businesses 50 at a time. The first 50 to claim a spot are our founding members, and they lock the lowest rate we’ll ever offer, for as long as they stay. After 50, the rate goes to standard. That’s the whole deal, no fine print.
| Founder rate (locked forever) | Standard rate | |
|---|---|---|
| Featured listing | $15 / month | $25 / month |
| Business directory | Free forever | $12 / month |
| Friday email sponsor | $75 / week | $99 / week |
Free to claim today. Nothing is charged now. Your founder rate is locked in and only starts when featuring goes live, and we’ll email you before that happens. No card needed to claim your spot.
Free while we’re getting off the ground. In about two months we’ll switch billing on, and that’s exactly where being a founder pays off: your rate stays locked in for good, $15/mo featured, directory free, $75/wk sponsor, while everyone who joins after you pays standard. We’ll always email you before a single charge, and you can cancel anytime.
Who runs this
Thames Coast is built and run by Elevare Studio, a small studio that builds websites and marketing for local businesses. The events hub is free for everyone, forever. Featuring is how it pays for itself, and honestly, it’s also how we meet the businesses we might work with down the road. If that’s you, claiming a spot is a good place to start.
