A room of local owners who send each other work.
Ohana Connect is a membership for Siskiyou County business owners. You get a member listing in the local directory, your Ohana Promo shared with our community, and monthly gatherings with owners who refer each other first. Plans start at $30 a month, month to month.
Why local owners join
Local owners here went a long time without a regular place to meet. Ohana Connect brings them back into one room and gives the community a reason to shop with you. No referral quotas, no mandatory meetings, and no one selling at you.

YOUR BUSINESS
You get a member profile in the Ohana directory, with priority placement over free listings, and a seat in a group of owners who meet every month and pass work to each other.
Win #2
YOUR CUSTOMERS
Your Ohana Promo is shared with locals and visitors: a special offer that gives them a reason to choose you. It's new, and founding members are on it first as it spreads.

This isn't guesswork. Here's what the research says.
We built the Ohana Card around what behavioral economics and current consumer data actually confirm... not what sounds good on a flyer.
80%
of consumers will try a new local business for the first time if there's an offer or discount waiting for them.
— RetailMeNot consumer research
"The middle class is spending in a nervous way."
Stretching every dollar. Looking for reasons to shop local.
— CNBC economist analysis, March 2026
75%
of consumers are more likely to buy when a tangible offer is attached to the purchase.
— Promotion Marketing Association
Free items beat percentage discounts
every time, across every income level and every type of customer.
— Behavioral economics research, Shopify / Volusion 2025
Higher-income customers prefer access to discounts.
Locals-only pricing and VIP recognition outperform "% off" for Siskiyou County's visitor demographic.
— McKinsey, 2025–2026
The Ohana Card isn't a coupon book. It's a community economy tool, designed around what actually moves people to show up and spend locally.
How the Ohana Promo works
Every member chooses one special offer, and we share it with locals and visitors across Siskiyou County. It gives people a real reason to walk through your door. Pick something that fits your margins and change it any time.
Not sure what to offer?
Ideas by type of business. Use one, mix them, or make up your own.
Restaurants & Cafés
A free appetizer or dessert with any entrée, or $5 off orders over $20. A free item often pulls harder than a percentage off.
Auto, Trades & Services
A free estimate on the first job, or priority scheduling for Ohana Promo customers. It makes that first call easier.
Retail & Boutique
Early access to new arrivals 24 hours before the public, or 15% off a first purchase. Locals love feeling like insiders..
Health, Wellness & Healing Arts
A complimentary 15-minute add-on (aromatherapy, sound bowl, hot towel) with any full session, or 10% off a first visit. An upgrade can land better than a price cut.
Professional Services
A free 30-minute review session, or one free hour back when a client refers another Ohana business.
Food, Farm & Grocery
A free sample pack with purchases over $15, or a weekly locals day with special pricing for Ohana Promo customers.
Personal Care & Beauty
15% off a first visit, or a free add-on treatment with any color service. The offer brings them in once, and your work brings them back.
Recreation & Experiences
Locals-only pricing you don't advertise, or one free guest on any booking. Visitors like it too, because it feels like being let in on something.
Your offer is yours to set and yours to change anytime. Every plan includes your Ohana Promo, starting at $30 a month.
Choose How You Show Up.
All three plans include your directory listing, your Ohana Promo, Member Events and referrals. The question is how much support and visibility you want. Month to month, no contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I upgrade my tier later?
Yes, anytime. Start where it makes sense and grow into more when you're ready.
Q: Is there a contract or commitment?
No. Month to month. Cancel anytime.
Q: I'm not sure which tier is right for me.
Start with Ohana Member. Come to a couple of gatherings, and you'll know whether you want more support (Silver) or more visibility (Gold). You can upgrade anytime.
Q: Does the Ohana Promo cost extra?
No. Every plan includes it. You choose your offer and we share it with the community.
Q: Can visitors use the Ohana Promo?
Yes. Locals come first, and visitors who use it find you while they're in town.
Q: Do I have to come every week or hit referral quotas?
No. There are no weekly meetings and no referral quotas. Come when you can. Referrals here are real or they aren't passed, because a fake referral helps nobody.
Q: Will my price go up?
Not if you join during Founding Season. Your rate stays locked for as long as your membership stays active.
What membership actually looks like in practice.
Not testimonials... realistic scenarios based on how the network works, so you can see your business in it.
Scenario 1:
The massage therapist
She lists a complimentary 15-minute add-on for Ohana Card holders. Three new clients book in her first month. Two rebook at full price. Her $30 membership paid for itself in week one — and she never ran an ad.
Scenario 2:
The contractor
He joins at Silver. Attends the monthly business development session. Gets referred to two jobs by other members within 45 days. One becomes a recurring relationship. His membership cost $60. The referral was worth twelve times that.
Scenario 3:
The boutique owner
She lists early access to new arrivals as her Ohana Card offer ... no discount, no margin hit. Three regulars mention the card when they come in. Two new faces found her through the directory. Visibility that costs her nothing extra.
Scenario 4:
The café on the main drag
A visitor picks up an Ohana Card at their hotel. Sees the free coffee offer. Walks in. Brings their travel partner. Comes back the next morning before they leave town. One card, two visits, zero ad spend.
Ready to join the room?
Founding Season is open now. Join at any level, and your rate stays locked for as long as you're a member.
