THREE CORE BENEFITS

Give Visitors a Reason to Put You in Their Plans.

Be Discovered Before They Search.

You can’t always control what people type into Google. But you can help introduce your business before they even know what to look for.

Place your business where travelers are exploring their options and looking for their next stop.

Build a Reputation Worth Remembering.

Where your brand appears matters.

Being included in a beautifully illustrated local visitor guide creates an opportunity to associate your business with the destinations, landmarks, and experiences that make the Treasure Valley memorable.

More than another advertisement, it’s a chance to become a familiar name in the local visitor experience.

Make an Impression That Travels.

A digital advertisement can disappear in seconds.

A beautifully illustrated map is something people can unfold, explore together, tuck into a suitcase, or bring home as a reminder of their trip.

Your business has the opportunity to remain part of that memory.

Digital features and launch timing vary by partnership level.

Where Your Business Is Seen Matters.

We’re not creating another advertisement for people to scroll past.

We’re creating a visitor resource intended for places where people are already looking for recommendations.

Be discovered as visitors arrive.

Airports & Travel Hubs

Introduce your business to travelers who may be experiencing the Treasure Valley for the very first time.

ESTABLISHED REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Created by people who call this valley home.

We are fourth-generation Idaho locals with deep personal ties across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and Caldwell. This publication is not produced from an out-of-state marketing bullpen or assembled by automated scraping algorithms. Every fold, road segment, and featured category reflects decades of real community navigation and genuine local pride.

Visiting consumers quickly develop fatigue from sterile digital feeds and generic highway banners. They actively seek a curated, tactile resource recommended by the host locations they trust: one that highlights established regional character over high-volume ad noise.

  • Local perspective: Authentic regional curation prioritizing genuine community standing over automated ad bidding.
  • Intentional placement: Distributed purposefully across premium regional hospitality counters, lodging lobbies, and visitor hubs.
  • Print connected to digital: Physical tactile permanence paired with seamless mobile interaction for active travelers.

MORE THAN A VISITOR GUIDE

Today's Landmarks. Tomorrow's Local History.

Every generation leaves behind a picture of the places that mattered.

Streets change. Communities grow. New businesses open, while others become part of the history we remember.

A hand-illustrated map captures more than directions. It captures a moment in time.

Our vision is to create an illustrated record of the Treasure Valley, featuring the places, landmarks, and participating businesses that help tell its story.

We also intend to pursue historical preservation of the publication through established map-archiving channels. We plan to submit each edition to archives such as the Library of Congress, Harvard Map Collections, and the American Geographical Society for historical reference.

For our founding partners, this is an opportunity to support something beyond a single marketing campaign.

You're helping visitors discover the Treasure Valley today while contributing to a record of the community for future generations.

ARCHIVING (PLANNED)

Preserved for historical reference

We intend to pursue archival submission through established map-archiving channels, including the Library of Congress, Harvard Map Collections, and the American Geographical Society (subject to each archive’s process).

SECTION 9 — INVESTMENT & VALUE

What Would Make This Investment Worth It for Your Business?

A different kind of advertising opportunity.

Every business has a different definition of successful marketing.

For some, it’s new customers walking through the door. For others, it’s stronger brand recognition, more visibility among travelers, or deeper relationships with the communities they serve.

Treasure Valley Maps creates an opportunity to pursue both immediate discovery and longer-term visibility.

One annual advertising investment gives your business a place in a printed publication, beginning with an initial planned run of 100,000 maps.

No additional per-copy charges for qualifying reprints during your contracted term.

And no need to constantly refresh an advertisement just to maintain your placement on maps already in circulation.

DUE DILIGENCE & SPECIFICATIONS

The questions your marketing team will ask.

Review our verification protocols, launch milestones, and technical criteria before submitting your placement request. Everything is documented for transparent commercial evaluation.

How are distribution partner locations being selected and pursued?

Locations are evaluated based on verified incoming visitor traffic, concierge recommendation frequency, and physical display visibility. We are actively establishing placement across regional airport arrivals, premiere hotels, regional visitor desks, and high-footprint cultural centers before the planned print release.

What is the core operational difference between Gold and Premium Tiers?

Gold Tier includes top-quadrant map grid placement, primary editorial indexing, and a direct digital showcase spotlight. Premium Tier provides balanced perimeter placement with categorized directory indexing and individual QR tracking, offering high-efficiency visibility for growing local brands.

How does dynamic QR engagement tracking and attribution work?

Each sponsor panel includes a distinct encoded QR destination that records scans, device context, and engagement timeframes. You receive monthly attribution reports that clearly connect physical map reach to web traffic, booking actions, and digital conversions.

What happens under the launch funding contingency policy?

The initial print run of 100,000 planned copies goes to press once the minimum sponsorship threshold is committed. In the event publication requirements are not fully reached by the milestone cutoff date, all deposits are 100% refundable with zero administrative holdback.

What is explicitly included in each confirmed sponsorship agreement?

Every placement includes full color cartographic layout integration, custom copy proofing, dynamic QR creation, digital partner directory listing, and a certificate of distribution verification following print completion.

How is category exclusivity protected across the 64 planned placements?

To prevent directory saturation and maximize ROI for every partner, categories such as craft breweries, boutique lodging, and fine dining are strictly limited. Commitments are allocated on a first-confirmed basis within the 64 planned placements.

What artwork formats, proofing stages, and copy deadlines are required?

Sponsors submit vector logos (AI/EPS/SVG) alongside high-resolution photography (300 DPI at print dimensions). Our cartographic design team generates a comprehensive prepress proof for your marketing team to review and sign off on prior to final plating.

What payment schedules and escrow provisions are available for B2B accounting?

Invoices can be structured across split installments: an initial reservation deposit followed by balance settlement upon final prepress approval. Invoices include standard B2B vendor documentation suitable for corporate marketing deductions.

What is the projected shelf-life and replenishment cycle across sites?

The planned 100,000 print run is calibrated for comprehensive multi-season utility across high-traffic quarters. Field teams regularly audit racks, monitor velocity, and restock display holders to maintain continuous year-round availability.
