Who We’ve Worked With

How We Partner With Local Businesses

  • One day. Hundreds of customers. A citywide spotlight.
    If selected to host a Freebie Drop, your business becomes the destination. We fund the freebie. You get packed rooms, high visibility, and often, your best day of sales. Plus, follow-up campaigns keep your momentum going long after the line dies down.

  • Get discovered by people already looking for something like you.
    Our curated, Durham-only marketplace rewards members with VIP access perks when they book or buy from participating businesses. That means more traffic, more loyalty, and more visibility—just for doing what you already do.

  • Offer something special. We send new customers to try it.
    Participating businesses on the Elite Access Card offer members something fun or exclusive—not discounts, but secret perks, insider upgrades, or surprise treats. We promote you, direct members your way, and help turn curious visitors into loyal regulars.

  • Align your brand with community joy, visibility, and uplift.
    For large organizations and mission-driven brands, we offer sponsorship opportunities that tie your name to community energy. It’s not just logo placement—it’s relationship-building, lead generation, and cultural relevance, all rolled into one.

  • Put your product in the hands of real people. Literally.
    Meet hundreds of engaged locals at our in-person Freebie Drops. You’ll hand out samples, connect with potential fans, and be part of the unforgettable experience that makes BCFS what it is. There's no better moment for first impressions.

  • Need a strong first showing? We’ll bring the crowd—and the feedback.
    Launching a new restaurant, venue, or concept? We can curate a trusted group of local diners or shoppers to attend your soft opening, create buzz, and give you valuable feedback before your official launch. It’s like having a community beta test—with better vibes.
