For businesses · Edition One · Humble 2027
Only one business per category.
Fourteen categories are for sale. When yours is taken, it’s taken — no competitor of yours appears anywhere in the book. Five hundred booklets go out at $25 apiece, and every customer holding one is looking for a reason to walk through your door.
A 50% deposit holds your category — $148 to $475 depending on tier. Pay in full and your page design is free. Humble businesses only for Edition One.

Three editions
Which passport do you want to be in?
Each edition is its own book with its own stops and its own prize baskets. A business can be in one, two, or all three — and partners get 10% off any edition after their first.

Fifteen front doors. One business behind each.
Passport 4 Perks isn’t a coupon book. It’s fifteen local businesses sending each other customers for six months — a neighbor who has driven past you for years, finally walking in.
That works because every stop has a door. Somebody collects a stamp at the bakery, spots the salon two pages later, and books an appointment. So this edition is built for businesses your customers come to in person — a shop, a studio, a counter, a dining room.
If your work happens at your customer’s home or over the phone, this particular program isn’t the right fit — but our shared direct mail program is built for exactly that. It puts your business in the hands of five thousand local households from $190 a month, and nobody has to walk through a door for it to work.

How reserving works
Nobody buys a category with a credit card at midnight.
Category exclusivity only means something if somebody checks. So we do it in three steps, usually inside a single business day.
You reserve
Fill in the form below with your category and your Humble address. No payment yet.
We verify
We confirm your category is genuinely open and that you’re a walk-in Humble business, then talk through your perk.
A 50% deposit locks it
We send a secure payment link. The moment it clears, your category is off the market.
What holds a category
Pay in full at signing and your page design is free.
That’s a $100 value, and it takes the October 30 artwork deadline off your plate entirely — we build your page, so it can’t be late. Just tell us when you reserve.
What you’re buying
A page in the book, and a stack of passports to sell.
Reserve your category
50% holds it. Nobody else in your line gets into this edition.

Three tiers
Pick your page. Then do the math.

The part most advertising can’t do
You are not hoping this works. You can do the math on a napkin.
Take Elite. It’s $950, and you get 55 passports that sell for $25 each. Sell 39 and your page is paid for. Sell all 55 and you’re $425 ahead — your ad cost nothing and put money in the register. Sell some, hand out the rest; every one you give away still walks a customer through your door and fourteen others.
| Elite — $950 | 55 passports · paid for at 39 sold · $425 clear if you sell them all |
|---|---|
| Premier — $450 | 26 passports · paid for at 18 sold · $200 clear if you sell them all |
| Select — $295 | 17 passports · paid for at 12 sold · $130 clear if you sell them all |
And it doesn’t stop there. Sell out and you can reorder from the leftover pool at $20 a book — so every additional passport you move is another $5 in your pocket, on top of the customer walking in to use it.
What you provide
Two things come from you. Both start at $50.
Every partner contributes the same two things, whatever tier you buy. These are minimums, not amounts — offer more if you want to, and plenty of partners do.
1 · Your perk
The offer printed on your page, worth at least $50 to the customer, honored January 1 through June 30. What it is is entirely your call — a service, a product, an upgrade, a bundle. It does not have to be a discount, and the strongest ones usually aren’t.
2 · Your prize-basket item
One additional item or gift certificate worth at least $50, separate from your perk, delivered December 1. Fifteen contributions build three prize baskets awarded at the end of the cycle. Certificates must stay valid through December 31, 2027.
Fifteen stops, fifteen contributions, three winners — and every partner’s name is on all of it.
Included at every tier
Your Passport Kit.
Everything you need so a customer holding a passport never gets a blank stare at your counter. Included in every tier — there is no kit fee.
The Stamp Station — goes on your counter
- Your custom stamp and ink pad
- 5x7 counter sign — “Ask us to stamp your passport”
- Staff script card — what the perk is, how to stamp, what to say
- Price sign for the passports you sell
The rest of the kit
- Your passport allotment, ready to sell at $25 plus tax
- “Official Passport Stop — Humble 2027” window cling
- A social graphic and caption to announce you’re in
- Your listing on this website with directions to your door
Mark your calendar
Networking 4 a purpose.
Picture it. Fifteen business owners in one room, all with the same dream — more paying customers walking through their door.
What’s the fastest way to get there? Tell the other fourteen owners exactly what you do, what you provide, and who you’re looking for in a customer.
This is the night you pick up your Passport Kit. It’s also your chance to record a 30-second live commercial that we push out across our social media all through January — and we send you your own copy to use however you like.
Bring at least fourteen business cards.
