Local businesses

Show up where neighbors already look for plans

You have the craft, the food, the booth, the service. What you may not have yet is a big ad budget or a polished website. A featured spot on Yakima Valley Events puts your name in front of people who opened the calendar on purpose.

Who this is for

Small businesses and solo operators who are good at the work and short on marketing time. Caterers, photo booths, makers, studios, venues, repair shops, tutors, coaches, and anyone else locals should know about when they are deciding what to do this weekend.

If your Facebook post disappears by Tuesday, or you are still putting off a website, this is a simpler path: one month, one clear placement, tracked links so you can see who clicked through.

Who shows up here

Not a bored scroll. People land here looking for a yard sale, a market, live music, or a Saturday plan. That is a better moment to meet them than a random feed ad. Traffic is climbing too: the last 28 days are roughly double the prior stretch for active users and sessions.

What you get

About thirty days as the featured local business: a home page spotlight, plus a strip on Today, This week, and All events. Your art, a short line about what you do, and a button to your site, booking form, or socials.

Outbound clicks carry UTM tags so the traffic shows up in your own analytics. Posting an event on the calendar stays free. The featured spot is separate: one business at a time.

A featured spot gets you in front of people who are already browsing for plans. How many click through still depends on your offer, timing, and follow-up. We can show the audience. We cannot promise every visitor will book.

Ask about the next opening

Inventory is one business per month. Email hello@yakimavalley.events with your business name, what you offer in the valley, and a website or social link. We will reply with availability. A note does not hold the month.
