Why events list with us
The whole town turns out, and every business wants to be part of it
A Christmas parade is the one day every family in town lines the main street. Businesses already enter floats and give prizes. List it all and let them book it.
Sponsors find you
Local businesses browse what your event offers and ask to back it. No more committee members ringing round the same five businesses every year.
Every sponsorship priced
A ribbon, a station, a prize or the whole naming rights, each with its own price and booked online. Nobody has to wait for a proposal.
Local businesses, local crowd
The businesses that book want to be seen by every family in town, which is exactly who comes to your event.
What you can list
Floats, characters and prizes
List each one on its own, for the dates it runs. You set the price for each.

You beauty!
All done. The money goes to your bank.
You never design or print a thing. The advert is always supplied to you.
Supporting local
Every booking gives to a charity you choose.
Pick a local cause that matters to you, and every time a business books one of your sponsorships a donation goes to it. It never comes out of your pocket.
Does it cost anything to list?
No. Listing is free, there is no monthly fee and no lock-in contract. You are paid the full price you set.
What should we charge?
Up to you. Most NZ events never publish prices, so having every sponsorship priced and bookable online already puts you ahead. Small named things like a ribbon, a station or a prize often start from $50 to $500.
Do we have to take every sponsor who asks?
No. You see who the business is and what they want before you say yes, and you can decline anyone who does not suit your event.
We only run once a year. Is it worth it?
Yes. List each sponsorship for the dates it runs, and it comes down when the event is over. List it again next year in a couple of minutes.
Other kinds of event
Run a different kind of event?
