Being a Salty Locals partner put us in front of people who actually live here and love this island. It is not just advertising — it is being part of the community. The visitors who come to us through The Salty Locals are already sold on TI. They just need to find us.
A Local TI Business Owner
Flock Featured Partner · Treasure Island, FL
Do I have to be a Treasure Island business to partner?
Treasure Island and the immediate Gulf Coast area get priority, but we work with businesses that serve the TI visitor — including Tampa Bay area tour companies, photography services and regional businesses TI visitors frequently use. Reach out and we will let you know if it is a good fit.
Is there a contract or minimum commitment?
No contracts. Month-to-month on all paid tiers — cancel anytime. We would rather earn your business every month than lock you into something. Local businesses should not have to fight to get out of a marketing commitment.
What is the Flock Approved badge and how do I use it?
The Flock Approved badge is a digital badge you can display on your website, social profiles, menus and storefront. It signals to locals and visitors that you have been vetted and recommended by The Salty Locals community. We will send you the badge files when you join.
How does the Captain Flock AI recommendation work?
Captain Flock is our AI concierge that helps visitors and locals find things to do, eat and experience on Treasure Island. Flock Featured and Captain's Circle partners get included in Captain Flock's recommendations when someone asks about relevant categories. Your business comes up in those answers.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my tier anytime?
Absolutely. Email us at INFO@THESALTYLOCALS.COM and we will update your tier at the start of your next billing cycle. No penalties, no drama.
What if I am a non-profit or community organization?
Community organizations, non-profits and conservation groups can partner with us at no cost. We support the organizations that make TI what it is — reach out and let us talk about how we can work together.
