CocoWire.app — Ohio's local discovery platform — powered by performance-based marketing.
Turn Everyday Ohio Exploration Into New Customers
Every new CocoWire member increases the value of your Founding Sponsor status.
CocoWire is where locals and visitors discover where to eat, shop, explore, and experience Ohio.
Unlike traditional advertising, sponsors only pay when members physically redeem a perk inside their business.
Whether someone is looking for today's weather, tonight's dinner, or their next favorite local business, CocoWire helps them decide — and your business can be part of that decision.
Why CocoWire Works
People don't open CocoWire just to look for coupons. They want to know: What's the weather? Where should I eat? Where should I go next? Sponsors become part of that journey.

Why $1 Beats Traditional Advertising
Most local ads charge you for attention. CocoWire charges for a verified redemption — $1 only when a member redeems a perk at your location. Founding Sponsors pay $0.
Benchmarks are directional industry averages (e.g. WordStream / LocaliQ restaurant Google Ads CPC ~$2.05; Meta CPC often under $2). Your market may differ — the point is the unit: click ≠ customer.
Coffee shop
40 redeemed perks
40 verified in-location redemptions
$40 total
vs market: Google “coffee near me” clicks often run ~$2+ each — and a click is not a visit.
Restaurant
150 redeemed perks
150 verified in-location redemptions
$150 total
vs market: Restaurant Google Ads avg ~$2 CPC; cost-per-lead often ~$25–$40 before anyone sits down.
Local shop
70 redeemed perks
70 verified in-location redemptions
$70 total
vs market: Meta/Instagram local ads ~$1–$2 per click for awareness — still unpaid until they walk in.
Illustrative examples at the $1 standard rate ($1 × redemptions). Founding Sponsors pay $0 on every redemption.
Founding Spots by Area
Spots are limited per area and scaled to local population. The first businesses approved in each area become Founding Sponsors — $0 per perk, forever.
Simple, Performance-Based Pricing
No setup fees. No monthly subscription. You pay only when CocoWire members actually redeem perks at your location — real customers, real visits.
Why Founding Sponsors matter
To thank them for helping establish the network, Founding Sponsors keep a permanent $0 redemption rate.

Boost Your Visibility with the Coconut Multiplier
Your coconut multiplier determines how many bonus coconuts members earn when they promote your business on social or visit your pin. Multiplier is set automatically based on your monthly drawing contribution — a cash sponsorship added to the CocoWire monthly prize pool.
No contribution
any active sponsor
Full sponsor profile, map pin, perks, and QR redemption. Members earn the baseline coconut reward when they promote you.
$150 / mo
to prize pool
50% more coconuts earned per social action at your pin. Your logo featured in the monthly drawing announcement.
$400 / mo
to prize pool
Double coconuts for every member action. Your business listed as a drawing co-sponsor — prominent brand exposure each month.
$800 / mo
to prize pool
Triple coconuts. "Presented by" branding across the app. Grand Prize sponsor credit. Maximum member buzz for your business.
How drawing contributions work
Your monthly contribution is added directly to the CocoWire cash prize pool — increasing the prize amount members compete for. This means your brand is promoted every time CocoWire announces the drawing prize, creating additional organic visibility beyond app engagement. Contributions are invoiced monthly alongside your perk redemptions.
