Put your business in front of the moms looking for it
Sophia Social connects trusted Volusia County businesses with a growing community of moms looking for where to go, what to book, and who to trust.
Partnerships are application based because being listed means something here.
We partner with businesses that put moms and community first.
Deliver an experience worth recommending
Serve moms, women, kids, or families in a meaningful way
Care about the community you’re building a business in
Want to give members a reason to choose you
What’s included in your partnership
A detailed listing in The Guide
Be there when moms are deciding where to go next.
Moms recommend businesses to each other constantly. A great pediatric provider gets passed around. So does the swim school everyone loves, the esthetician worth booking, the restaurant that makes bringing kids easy, and the place you go when you finally have an afternoon to yourself.
The Guide brings those recommendations into one trusted, searchable resource with the useful details that help members discover you and understand why you’re worth a visit, booking, or closer look.
Your own Member Perk
A good perk creates a reason for someone who’s already interested to take the next step.
It can encourage a first visit, introduce someone to a service they haven’t tried, increase the value of a purchase, or give an existing customer another reason to come back.
You choose an offer that works for your margins and goals. That might be a complimentary add-on, exclusive package, percentage or dollar amount off, upgraded experience, or another benefit created specifically for Sophia Social members.
We’ll help you think beyond “give everyone a discount” and create something that feels valuable on both sides.
Guaranteed promotion throughout the year
More ways for members to discover your business.
Your Guide listing gives members a place to find you whenever they’re looking. Your partnership also includes dedicated opportunities to introduce your business to the Sophia Social audience throughout the year.
Every annual partner receives:
-
Once you’re officially onboarded, we’ll introduce your business to members in the Partner Spotlight section of The Sophia Edit.
-
Your business will be featured again in The Sophia Edit, giving us another opportunity to highlight what you offer, share something timely, or put your business back on members’ radar.
-
Your business will receive one feature across Sophia Social’s Instagram and Facebook during your annual partnership.
Events + Sophia Sessions
Take the partnership offline.
Our events create opportunities for select partners to meet members in person and put their business, expertise, or products into the experience.
Depending on the event, that might mean hosting a pop-up, sponsoring part of an experience, contributing to a member gift, leading a demonstration, or sharing your expertise during a Sophia Session.
A wellness provider might lead part of an experience. A boutique might bring a pop-up members can shop. A financial educator might join a conversation around the money questions women want help answering.
Opportunities vary by event and are based on fit, because the best collaborations should make sense for your business and the women in the room.
Full access to Sophia Social
See what your customers see.
Your partnership also includes access to the Sophia Social member experience.
Explore The Guide, view your own listing, keep up with The Sophia Edit, see current member perks, and experience the community you’re investing in from the inside.
It also gives you a better understanding of what members are seeing, discovering, and engaging with across the network.

How it works
Every application is reviewed because the value of The Guide depends on the quality of the businesses inside it.
Not every business will be the right fit. That protects the trust members place in Sophia Social and makes being selected more meaningful for the businesses we partner with.
