For Whitsundays businesses

Gift Local is a campaign, not a PDF. A dedicated website, a newspaper lift-out, social content and in-town promotion, all pointing people to businesses like yours. A basic listing is free for every Chamber member in the Whitsundays.

Questions businesses ask

I don't sell products. Can I still list?Yes. Vouchers and experiences are some of the most-searched gifts. Cafés, salons, tours, gyms, lessons and trades all belong in the guide.

Do I have to be a Chamber member?No. The guide is for the whole region. Members get the free or discounted rate; non-members pay the standard rate.

Can I list more than one product?Your listing is your business, with your categories and a short description. The price guide shows shoppers what's on offer at each budget.

What happens after Christmas?The site swaps its Christmas look for a year-round one and keeps running. Listings stay live, and the campaign returns each Christmas.

Who is behind Gift Local?It's an initiative of the Whitsundays Chamber of Commerce and Industry, delivered with regional partners and powered by the businesses that take part.
