For local businesses
Reach Smokies visitors who are already minutes from your door.
SmokiesApp is the local guide visitors open while they are here, deciding where to eat, what to do, and where to go next. We are launching soon and signing up the local businesses that make the Smokies worth the trip. Here is how partnering works, what your listing looks like, and how to join.
- Put a deal in front of visitors who are nearby right now
- List your events, shows, and specials as they happen
- Get found by people on their trip, not months before it
How partnering works
Three steps. No new software to learn.
Step 1
Tell us about your business
Add your details below and our team reaches out as partner spots open up. It takes a minute, there is no cost to get on the list, and no obligation.
Step 2
Post a deal or an event
A lunch special, a live show, a slow Tuesday you want to fill. Share it in a few taps and update it whenever something changes, no printing or coupon codes.
Step 3
Get found by people nearby
Your listing shows up for visitors exploring the Smokies right now, sorted by what is close to them, not buried in a brochure they read months ago.
See it in the app
This is how your business shows up.
Visitors browse local spots, deals, and events sorted by what is near them. Here is how a business profile and its deals look in the app.

Questions from owners
What local owners ask us.
What does it cost to partner?
We are still finalizing partner options while we build the business tools, so we are not quoting plans yet. Getting on the list now costs nothing and puts no commitment on you. Our team will walk you through the details when we reach out.
How much work is it to keep up?
Very little. Once you are set up, posting a deal or listing an event takes a few taps from your phone or your computer, and you can add, schedule, and edit deals any time. A live deal runs to its end date so it never disappears on a visitor mid-run, which is why we suggest starting new deals short and keeping one longer anchor deal live. There is no new system for your staff to learn.
When can my business go live?
SmokiesApp is launching soon, and we are bringing on partners in waves as spots open up. Get on the list now so you are near the front when we reach out.
What kinds of businesses is this for?
Restaurants, attractions, shops, venues, and the local spots that make the Smokies worth the trip, across Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, Townsend, and the National Park.
How do visitors find my listing?
Lots of ways. Visitors discover you through nearby results, keyword search, and category browsing, and Coby, our in-app guide, can point travelers your way when they ask where to eat, shop, or explore. Your deals and events surface across all of these, so people find you whether they are close by, searching for something specific, or just asking for ideas.
