Community Partner Program

A Business Opportunity

About the program

The HonuaTree Directory Incentive Program builds on our Referral Program’s city-partnership model: local partners promote the directory, unlock benefits, and earn ongoing rewards for engagement and sign-ups. The key difference? Community Partners serve as statewide representatives in the States where they reside.

Objective

Empower local leaders, businesses, and organizations to promote HonuaTree within their city, states, or region, increasing directory listings, consumer engagement, and affiliate membership.

The Size of the Opportunity

Across the U.S., 26M+ businesses list for free on local directories—but to reach more customers and grow sales, they need better tools. The HonuaTree Directory gives you access to a full suite of do-it-yourself (DIY) marketing tools and vetted third-party solutions.

As a Community Partner, you will be in the position to drive local businesses in your State to the HonuaTree Directory simply by introducing them to one of our premium plans.  When they join under a premium plan, you will earn monthly recurring commissions.

HonuaTree made it simple: co-branded flyers, a tracking link, and a clear 50% recurring commission. We enrolled 42 businesses in the first two months and created a new revenue stream for our chamber.

 

Darnell P., Nonprofit Director – Phoenix, AZ...

We introduced local mom-and-pop shops to HonuaTree and now earn monthly residuals that fund our youth programs. The partner dashboard makes reporting to our board a breeze..

Alicia G., Small Business Association Chair – Honolulu, HI...

Members kept asking for ‘real marketing tools,’ not just a listing. HonuaTree delivered. The DIY toolset and third-party add-ons helped our businesses get more traffic—and we share in the upside.

Residents referred neighborhood businesses using our partner link. It’s friendly, local, and the monthly residuals now cover our community newsletter costs.

We encouraged team parents who own businesses to join the directory. Now our league earns recurring commissions that help pay for scholarships.
