Grow Your Brand With Ease.
Be Part of a Community Women Trust
The Small Town Social® partners with local businesses that believe in community, connection, and supporting women. Our monthly socials bring together 25–40 warm, engaged women from Pinehurst, Southern Pines, Aberdeen, Whispering Pines, and surrounding areas. These women are thoughtful, loyal, and deeply community-minded, and they’re eager to support businesses that support them.
If your brand aligns with authenticity, kindness, local relationships, and the power of women’s community, sponsoring a social is a meaningful way to connect.
And the best part?
It’s fully done-for-you. Your sponsor month is seamless and hands-off.

Perks of Partnering
DIVERSE + ENGAGED AUDIENCE.
Our gatherings are specifically designed to attract and serve a very niche audience of local women across Moore County and surrounding areas. If you’re a local business owner then this sponsorship opportunity is the best way to get in front of a concentrated audience of your target consumers, allow you to attract more foot traffic into your shop or visits to your online store, and grow your overall fan-base, following and bottom-line. The Small Town Social® provides a highly unique opportunity to connect directly with local women who are known to make approximately 90% of the purchasing decisions for their family. This is not your stuffy average networking event that only touches a handful of random social media followers or business executives in dated pant suits. This is a strategically facilitated gathering focused on connecting women that’s full of newcomers and AMAZING brand loyals and hosted by a fast-growing company that supports over 5,000 women (and counting!) throughout the state.
EASY FOR YOU.
We’ve done our job to attract your ideal local customer to this event and offer you up on a silver platter to them for an entire month. Instead of paying for short-lived and expensive social media ads that publish to a cold audience with little return, you have the chance to jump in front of a niche group of local women who are already interested and in your target market. Being a sponsor for The Small Town Social® makes it easy for you to explore new connections you wouldn’t otherwise have had the exposure to AND convert an incredibly warm audience into customers ASAP without having to continually empty your pockets or hunt them down on your own or on the internet.
HIGH-QUALITY LEADS.
There are many individual and unique opportunities to connect during our gatherings that enhance your digital marketing exposure and lead generation opportunities. Guests arrive at our gatherings eager to connect and are often inspired to deepen every connection they make. Registrants and attending guests are active, warm leads who are eager for more, especially if they meet a business owner who has something amazing to offer them.
During networking events of this nature, guests are often ready to take action on-site. They’re no longer in the exploratory phase. They’ve invested their time and energy in attending, they’re inspired and excited to take the next step or try something new. The Small Town Social® is known to excite guests in a way that keeps them wanting more from those they know, like and trust, especially fellow locals.
EXCLUSIVITY = ZERO COMPETITION.
This is currently the only sponsorship package The Small Town Social® offers and each gathering is exclusive to one sponsor. That means all eyes are on you and your business only. Zero competition, zero worries. For the entire month you get the VIP treatment from us and can use that focused time as our partner to level up your local exposure as we continue to grow.

If you serve women or families in the local area, you’re a great fit.
At this time we do not accept multi-level marketing business models, religious or politically-affiliated organizations of any kind for our sponsorships. Out of an immense amount of respect for our partnering venues we also consciously choose not to partner with any competing area restaurants at this time.
It’s our top priority that the businesses we partner with *get* and *respect* our audience on all levels. Great partners don’t bully, spam, harass or treat our gal pals like icky car salesmen.
For these reasons, all interested sponsors are carefully considered, vetted and selected with an immense amount of care through our application process to ensure the potential partnership meets our needs and results in a smooth and beneficial outcome for all of those we love to serve.
