Wave Yard connects businesses around Woodfin and the French Broad River corridor with people actively planning a Taylor’s Wave day. Start with one timely event, choose a richer Local Directory presence, reserve a limited journey-page position—or combine the products that fit.
Founding invitations are selective.Fit, accuracy and genuine usefulness to visitors come before payment.
TWO SEPARATE ANNUAL OPTIONS
Choose the visibility that fits.
These products can be purchased separately. An Enhanced Partner profile does not automatically include a Journey Page Feature, and a Journey Page Feature does not automatically change the business’s directory tier.

The High Five Coffee – Riverside profile shows how Wave Yard explains where a business fits into an actual river day: what it offers, who it helps, when to use it and how to get there.
Enhanced profiles can include up to three selected business-supplied photos. Send three to five options; Wave Yard selects and optimizes the strongest set for the listing.
THE PROOF SYSTEM
See what visitors actually did.
Wave Yard reports observable actions instead of inflating exposure into claims about customers or sales.
Listing exposure
How often the partner profile or current update entered a visitor’s view.
Intent actions
Website, directions, phone, hours, booking, menu and event clicks when those actions are available.
Placement source
Which directory category, journey page, Event Boost or QR placement produced the action.
Confirmed results
Offer redemptions or purchases appear only when the business or its checkout system can verify them.
A click is not reported as a sale. Automated traffic is excluded when it can be identified, and results are described with the limits of the available data.
WHAT PAYMENT DOES—AND DOES NOT—BUY
Useful visibility, with clear boundaries.
Basic listings stay free
Useful local businesses can still receive a factual name, address, description and direct website link without paying.
Current Updates stay separate
Events, reopenings, seasonal offers and announcements use a temporary Event Boost / Current Update module and are not bundled into either annual option.
Paid never means “best”
Payment does not buy positive editorial judgment, safety guidance, rankings or control over factual coverage. Paid relationships are disclosed.
BEFORE YOU PAY
Simple terms. No monthly treadmill.
Payment is a one-time purchase. It does not enroll the business in automatic renewal.
Annual terms begin when the paid profile or placement is published. An Event Boost ends automatically after the event or agreed end date.
Wave Yard drafts the presentation from supplied information; the business confirms factual accuracy before publication.
If Wave Yard determines the business is not a fit or cannot deliver the selected placement, the payment is refunded in full.
After the business approves the work and it is published, the payment is not partially refundable.
No specific traffic, search ranking, leads or sales are guaranteed.
Relay creates each payment request for one named business, so the link cannot be reused publicly. Choose the offer and submit your contact details. Wave Yard will confirm fit and availability, then email the secure Relay request directly to you.
