Partner with Discover Ames!

Become a Discover Ames partner and you can help visitors STAY, DO, EAT, SHOP, and PLAN . . . perhaps at your business!

Discover Ames provides valuable services to the Ames community:

Partnership levels tailored to YOUR business type!

We believe that Ames businesses who provide lodging, dining, shopping, and attractions will uniquely benefit from the Discover Ames partnerships.

Destination Partner

Perfect for businesses in lodging, dining, retail, and attractions, industries that directly benefit from our destination marketing. As a Destination Partner, you’re not just listed; you’re prioritized. While we promote these sectors as part of our core mission, these partners receive enhanced exposure, priority placement in campaigns, and added opportunities for collaboration. It’s the best way to make sure your business stands out to visitors and locals alike.

Community Partner

This level is ideal for businesses that may not be directly impacted by our marketing efforts, such as service providers, financial institutions, or real estate companies, but still benefit from the economic growth tourism brings to our community. Community Partners play a key role in helping us amplify Ames as a destination. By investing in our mission, your business gains visibility, goodwill, and the opportunity to support community-wide success.
