The Crawl Band™ is a branded wristband every guest wears before, during, and after their Moonshine Crawl experience. It's not just a souvenir — it's a redemption mechanism that puts your business directly in guests' hands.
Every wristband has an embedded QR code. Guests scan it throughout their trip to unlock exclusive Crawl Band offers from partner businesses. A guest finishes their crawl on Saturday night, wears the band to dinner on Sunday, scans your code, and gets their discount. They wear it to the airport Monday and scan it at a gift shop.
The result? Your business gets foot traffic, conversions, and repeat engagement — all from guests who've already pre-qualified as visitors to the Smokies with disposable income.

Lifetime 50% Founder Pricing
Once published rates launch in 2027, you're locked in at 50% of the standard rate through December 31, 2027 — and that rate becomes your permanent baseline.
The Commitment: Simple and Straightforward
We keep this simple. Three things:
1. Exclusive Crawl Band Offer
Provide a real, valuable offer exclusive to Crawl Band holders: 10–15% off, a free upgrade, a complimentary item, or an equivalent freebie.
2. Show the Colors
Display your Founders decal on your door or window, and keep a Founders card at your register.
3. One Social Post Per Quarter
Four times a year, tag @moonshinecrawl in a post featuring your business or your Crawl Band offer. We provide the content template if you need it.
That's it. No monthly reporting. No complicated obligations.
