Events are now Free!
Independent businesses and community organisations can now use Mapzest for free — including unlimited event listings!
We’ve given our plans a shake-up
It’s a significant change to how we operate and reinforces our commitment to making powerful destination marketing accessible to businesses of all sizes. Our aim is simple - help raise awareness, increase footfall and encourage visitor spend with the brilliant independent businesses and organisations at the heart of our communities.
We’ve gone all-out to support the local businesses and community organisations that form the backbone of Mapzest.
And it’s not just event promotion that we’re making free. We’re opening up the wider Mapzest platform to eligible independent businesses and community organisations completely free of charge.
It works for everyone. Local businesses gain access to more ways to reach visitors without another marketing bill, while Mapzest benefits from a richer, more useful pool of places, events and experiences for visitors to discover.
More businesses. More events. More reasons to open Mapzest.
LOCAL — FREE
For eligible independent local businesses and community organisations.
Yep — access to the Mapzest platform for free. If you’re an independent pub, restaurant, café, shop, activity provider, music venue, community group or similar local organisation, Mapzest is designed to help you get discovered.
If you’re not already using Mapzest, now is a very good time to get involved.
ATTRACTION
For commercial visitor attractions and larger leisure businesses, such as theme parks, zoos, water parks and major attractions.
EVENT
For festivals, experiences, exhibitions and events that want to use Mapzest to engage visitors before, during and around their event.
ENTERPRISE
For larger organisations, destinations, groups, resorts, estates, marinas, chains and multi-location operators requiring a broader Mapzest solution.
Create once. Reach visitors everywhere.
One of the biggest advantages of Mapzest is that you don’t need to manage the same information across multiple platforms. You create and manage your listing in Mapzest, and we use that information across an expanding network of visitor touchpoints, including...
- Your Mapzest business profile
- Events and offers
- Interactive maps within the Mapzest app
- The Mapzest Discover website
- RSS and JSON feeds containing your events and information
- Interactive Mapzest kiosks covering your location
- Digital information displays covering your area
- Our weekly publication, The Weekly Zest and area newsletter
- Automatically generated What’s On flyers for high-footfall destinations
- Plus more as the Mapzest network continues to grow
One listing. Multiple channels. Less duplication.
And if you qualify as an independent local business or community organisation, it’s all available free of charge.
We want Mapzest to contain the places and events that make a destination worth visiting — not just those with the biggest marketing budgets.
By making the platform free for independents and community organisations, we can help more local businesses get discovered while giving visitors an even better picture of what’s happening around them.
More places. More events. More local discovery.
Give it a try! Open the app and create an event for free!.
