Regular Partnership Tiers vs.
Holiday Extravaganza Sponsorships
We offer two distinct programs. The Regular Partnership is your ongoing, year-round relationship with SWVA Connections Co. The Holiday Extravaganza is a separate, seasonal campaign — you can participate in either one independently, or both together.
Regular Partnership Tiers
Year-round · Ongoing · 1–2 year terms
Your ongoing partnership with SWVA Connections Co. — visibility, networking, job postings, events, and social promotions throughout the year.
Pathway 1 · Entry / Discovery
Pathway 2 · Strategic Growth
Holiday Extravaganza
Seasonal · Nov 2026 – Jan 2027 · Separate program
A time-limited, community-wide holiday campaign featuring the Digital Holiday Passport. Participation is separate from the regular partnership — you can join the Holiday campaign without being a year-round partner.
Holiday Participation Levels
How They Relate
Independent: You can join the Holiday Extravaganza as a one-time seasonal participant without becoming a year-round partner. You can also be a year-round partner without participating in the Holiday campaign.
Complementary: Many businesses do both — a Regular Partnership keeps you visible all year, while Holiday Extravaganza participation gives you a concentrated visibility boost during the busiest shopping season.
Different commitments: Regular tiers are 1–2 year partnerships with ongoing benefits. Holiday participation is a single-season campaign with holiday-specific features like the Digital Passport and community-wide Shop Local promotion.
