For local businesses

Be the place people get it from.

Sponsors put their name on the label. Distributors are where the product actually reaches people: your storefront, your event, your register. No cost to join, and it's a different role from sponsoring.

Sponsor vs. distributor

Two different ways to be part of a drop

Businesses often do both, but they're not the same commitment.

Sponsor

Your logo is on the product

You help fund a run of free product and your business appears on the label. You don't need to hand anything out yourself.

Distributor

Your location hands it out

Product moves through your storefront, counter, or event, putting real foot traffic and a genuinely free item in front of the people who already come to you.

How it connects

How a drop works

Every drop moves through the same loop, start to finish.

1

Sponsor

Funds a run of product and puts their name on the label.

2

Gladly Given

Sources the product, prints the labels, gets it where it needs to go.

3

Distributor

Hands the product to real people at their storefront, counter, or event.

4

Community

Gets something genuinely free, and a slice of every bottle goes to charity.

What's involved

What we ask of a distribution partner

Space

A spot to stage product

A counter, cooler, or table near your entrance or checkout, wherever makes sense for your location.

Handoff

Handing it to people

Your staff (or ours, for event-based drops) gives the product to customers or attendees as they pass through.

A rough count

Letting us know what moved

A quick estimate of how much product went out, so we can plan the next run and report back to sponsors.

What you get

Why businesses say yes

→

Foot traffic

A free-product moment gives people a reason to stop at your location instead of walking past it.

♥

Goodwill by association

You're the place that gave something away for free; that reputation sticks with your business, not just the sponsor's logo.

$0

No cost to distribute

Distribution partners don't pay for product; that's what sponsors fund. You're contributing space and hands, not a budget.

↺

No obligation

Stop hosting any time, no contract, no penalty. We deliver; keeping the display topped off between drop-offs is a light ask on your end, not something we do in person day to day.

Founding wave

Sign on early, stay recognized

Our first wave of distribution partners gets standing recognition, not a one-time badge.

Founding recognition

"Founding distribution partner," for as long as you host

Sign on with the first wave and you're recognized as a founding distribution partner on our site and channels, for as long as you keep hosting. It's tied to actually being part of the rotation, not a one-time thank-you.

Fast to start

Featured before the first bottle even arrives

Your partner mention goes live shortly after you sign on; it doesn't wait on product to physically show up. Feel free to tell your own customers about the partnership right away, too.

Distribute and sponsor: take 10% off

Distributing is always free. But if you'd also like your logo on the bottle, dual-role partners get 10% off the standard $750 sponsor rate automatically, and it stacks with founding and bulk pricing, too.
