Gifted Experiences - Exchange of Services

You can gift an experience - a meal, hotel stay, event ticket or activity. In exchange for gifted experiences or press passes, Lis agrees to publish about any event or service that she has a positive experience with. The photographs and summary will organically be posted within a roundup or post 3-5 times within the year following the collaboration. Lis holds all editorial rights over which photos are published and the summary of the experience. Opportunities are limited to work during the dates and times provided by MVacay (remaining availability: August 2025). After the exchange of services, you are welcome to purchase additional coverage (email blasts, reposts, etc). 

Hotel and Wedding Planner Concierge Services

We can help support your hosts and concierges with timely resources to ensure your guests have a streamlined, easy experience visiting Martha’s Vineyard. We can turn any of our guides into physical, color one-pager print outs for you to distribute to guests. We are happy to white-label these with the name of your organization and collaborate on the guides your guests request most often. We provide timely insight into weekly events without you needing to have a local expert consolidating this information. Save yourself hundreds of hours of research and provide visitors with guidance to improve their stay. This can look like:

• Creation of weekly, custom PDF printouts branded with your logo that share island happenings (you can also share these via email with guests)

• QR code table tents or postcards for quick on the go info
