Savannah Master Calendar announces the launch of Savannah VIP, a Savannah-centric business initiative aimed at driving local dollars to locally-owned and operated companies.

The program provides a complimentary listing for all local businesses who agree to offer a minimum discount to subscribers; additional advertising opportunities with Savannah Master Calendar (the city’s most comprehensive professional networking and events guide, garnering 4.5 MILLION website views a year) are available for those interested. Partnerships with several tourist-based businesses enable this service to directly reach the millions of visitors that flock to the Hostess City every year, although local memberships are the primary objective.

Owned and operated by Marianne Ganem-Popell, a third-generation Savannahian, Savannah VIP has been a passion project in the works for many years. “I love our unique city and seeing the rapid growth she has recently experienced. I want to continue encouraging that trend by helping to spread the word about everything the Hostess City has to offer.”

As a customer loyalty program, the platform is available for use at a minimal cost and free for all military, first responders, and their families through the website. With additional developments in the works, this user-friendly experience aims to boost our economy, foster a vibrant neighborhood, and revolutionize the Savannah shopping experience with access to a plethora of discounts, offers, and rewards.
