Smallwander.com – the concept

Smallwander.com features great small towns that have fewer than 10,000 people that are walkable, historic, and charming, and that have a good concentration of locally-owned merchants downtown.  Although we have been focused on towns in the southeast until now, we are now ready to add towns from across the nation.

Member towns enjoy the benefit of being a part of a network that values all that is unique and authentic in these vibrant communities.  Travelers to one of our member towns enjoy the same quality of experience at any other of our member towns.

Tourism 2.0

As web communication tools have become more available and affordable, smallwander.com serves as a focal point for discussions about these wonderful communities.  Discussions include how to cross-promote with other like-minded small towns to increase visitors, and how to engage the traveling population to hear more about what they would like to see.

Member towns

If a town meets the criteria, the town’s attractions, merchants, restaurants, accommodations, and events are featured on smallwander.com.  In return, a town representative pays a yearly membership fee of $120. Town representatives can take many forms.  They are often Main Street managers, downtown merchant associations, and local tourist officers, for example.

Be a Smallwander.com ambassador

Since it’s a large country and we can’t possibly know of all the great towns out there, we’ve decided to bring you in on the action.

Do you know of a fantastic small town that you think meets the smallwander.com criteria?

Do you want to make some cash?

Here’s what you can do:

• Refer smallwander.com to a town representative, that, again, might include a Main Street manager, downtown development/merchant association, or a local tourist office.
• If the town representative contacts us, tells us who referred them, and, the town meets our criteria, we’ll feature the town on the site for $100 per year, paid by the rep, and turn around and pay you $10.
• There is no limit to how many towns you can bring to us.

Or, if you happen to be one of those town representatives and you come to us without us having to hunt you down, we’ll feature your town for 20% off ($100 per year), if we like your town.
