Own Your Audience
Every guest who downloads the app becomes part of your venue's audience, not a rented social following. No algorithm deciding who sees you. First-party engagement data you can act on, on your terms.
Venue Sponsorship Revenue
Turn your venue's foot traffic into $2,000+/mo in recurring revenue.
Build a permanent guest audience. Local businesses pay you to sponsor it — you set the rate, approve every sponsor, and keep 100% of what they pay.
Illustrative example: 5 sponsors at $500/mo, net of your GEORA subscription. You set your own sponsor pricing.

How the math works
Example: 5 sponsors at $500/mo = $2,500 a month.
You subscribe to GEORA. Your sponsors pay you. We never take a percentage of your sponsorship revenue.
Your venue
You already have the guests and the space. Restaurants, auto dealers, home services, banks and hotels all want to reach the people inside it.
Sponsors pay you
Example: 5 sponsors at $500/mo = $2,500/mo. You set the rate and approve every sponsor.
You keep it
$2,500/mo sponsorship revenue
minus $500/mo platform subscription
= $2,000/mo net
Illustrative example. You set your own sponsor pricing.
Most venues cover the platform with a single sponsor. Everything after that is margin. Calculate your specific numbers →
Two engines
Two Ways to Win with GEORA
Modernize your venue
Even before your first sponsor, GEORA digitizes the connection between your venue and every guest. Engage your audience before, during, and after every visit. Upsell packages, share updates, drive repeat attendance, all through the app.
Works from day one, no sponsors needed
Generate recurring revenue
Open your venue’s audience to sponsors who pay monthly for approved access. You set the price, control the categories, and approve every sponsor. Pure recurring revenue from the audience you already have.
Most venues earn back platform cost with one sponsor
Most venues use both. Some start with the left and add the right when they’re ready.
The problem
You Spend Thousands Filling Seats. Then Hand Your Audience to Someone Else.
Every event you host, every guest who walks through your doors, that is YOUR audience. But right now, Eventbrite owns the ticket data. Instagram decides who sees your posts. Your event app gets deleted the next morning. You do the work. Third-party platforms keep the relationship. GEORA puts you back in control.
Three outcomes
Three Things Change the Day You Go Live.
Engage Your Guests
Zones deliver the right content at the right spot, and the app reaches your guests before and after the event too. Schedules, offers and updates, direct and instant, with no algorithm in between.
Generate Recurring Revenue
Restaurants, auto dealers, home services and hotels already want to reach the people inside your venue. Now they pay you monthly to sponsor a zone, at your price, and we never take a percentage.

Stop Trading Hours for Revenue. Start Collecting It Monthly.
Local businesses are already spending money to reach your guests on Google and Instagram. Now they pay you directly to sponsor a zone inside your venue. Example: 5 sponsors at $500/mo = $2,500/mo. You approve who gets in, you set the rate, and we never take a percentage of your sponsorship revenue.

The four things every venue asks first.
Do guests need an app?
Yes. Guests download the free GEORA app, and that is what receives zone content. Getting the app into your guests' hands is part of what we set up with you: signage at entry, a QR code on tickets, and an incentive worth downloading for.
How long does setup take?
About two weeks. We map your spaces into zones, install the beacons and run onboarding. No construction, no rewiring, no technical resources needed on your side.
What if local businesses don't want to sponsor?
You already have what they want: your guests, inside your building. We help you build the target list and the rate card during onboarding, and every sponsor gets reporting that makes the second month an easy conversation.
Do you take a percentage of our sponsorship revenue?
No. You pay a flat monthly subscription and keep 100% of what your sponsors pay you. Most venues cover the platform with a single sponsor. Everything after that is margin.
GEORA turns the space you already own into sponsorable, measurable inventory. The venue subscribes to GEORA. Local businesses pay the venue to sponsor its spaces. GEORA proves it worked.
Zones, small Bluetooth beacons installed in spaces you already have. The free GEORA app, which your guests download to receive zone content. And the Sponsor Dashboard, where each sponsor you approve manages their own content and sees their own results.
Sports venues including minor-league baseball, hockey and soccer, youth sports and tournament complexes, fairgrounds and expo centers, family entertainment centers and attractions, waterparks and campgrounds, festivals and event venues.
Through the free GEORA app. When a guest with the app walks past a zone, they receive that spot's content, nothing to scan, tap or open. Getting the app into your guests' hands is part of what we set up with you: signage at entry, a QR code on tickets, and an incentive worth downloading for.
That's the number we work on with you, and we're honest about it. Adoption comes from giving guests a real reason: exclusive offers, event schedules, contests, perks they can only get in the app. We build that plan with you before launch, and your dashboard shows real adoption from day one, so you are never guessing.
You set the rate card and the zone count. Local businesses apply to sponsor a zone, and you approve or reject every one. Approved sponsors get a dashboard login, manage their own content, and see impressions and engagement for their placement.
No. You pay a flat monthly subscription and keep 100% of what your sponsors pay you. We never take a percentage of your sponsorship revenue.
About two weeks for a single venue. We map your spaces into zones, install the beacons, test coverage and run staff onboarding. No construction and no rewiring.
