THE LOCAL 50
The math is simple. When you become a Zip Market leader, recruit 50 local businesses — the best, most trusted businesses in your zip code, city, or county — and build a recurring income stream that grows every month.
How The Local 50 Works
As a Zip Market leader, you build relationships with 50 local businesses in your territory. These aren't cold calls — they come from your sphere of influence, your network, and organic outreach. Each business joins one of three tiers on the Relationship Capital platform.
DIRECTORY MEMBER
Relationship Capital
The business gets listed in the Relationship Capital directory for your town, zip code, or market. They become one of the most trusted businesses in the area.
WELCOME MAILER
Directory + Mailer
Everything in the directory plus featured on the Welcome Mailer — a welcome present sent to every new homeowner the week they move into town.
ZIP CALENDAR
Directory + Mailer + Calendar
The full package. Directory, Welcome Mailer, plus featured on the Zip Calendar / Zip Planner — the malleable calendar that keeps your business top of mind all year.

How to Get Your 50
You don't have to knock on doors or make cold calls. Your Local 50 comes from relationships you already have — and new ones you'll build naturally.
Your Sphere of Influence
Start with the businesses you already know and trust — your dentist, your mechanic, your favorite restaurant. These are the businesses you'd recommend to a friend. That's Relationship Capital.
Local Networking
Chamber of Commerce events, local business groups, community gatherings. When you're the Zip Market leader, you're the connector — the person everyone wants to know.
Organic Referrals
Once you have 10-15 businesses, the rest come to you. Businesses see their competitors in the directory and want in. Success breeds success.
The Upsell Path
Start businesses at $47/mo in the directory. Once they see the value, upsell them to the Welcome Mailer ($97) or the full Zip Calendar ($197). Your revenue grows without adding new businesses.
