Do you have a business? Purple gives you free visibility 💜

One Sunday morning, in a small café in a big city, six women who'd never met before are sitting around a brunch table. They're chatting, laughing, exchanging numbers. The café owner looks at her dining room, full on what's usually a quiet Sunday morning, and realizes this might be the best marketing she's ever done. She didn't pay a cent for it.

That's exactly what Purple events make possible. Purple is the women-only app for meeting new friends and actually seeing each other in person, not just from behind a screen. And every week, hundreds of women are looking for a good reason to leave the house, try somewhere new, meet people. If you run a business or offer an activity, that's where you come in.

Your business, the setting for a real connection

You don't need to own a café for this to work. Maybe you're thinking your business doesn't quite fit, that this kind of thing is reserved for "cool" or "Instagrammable" places. That's not true. The only question worth asking is: can my space give women a good reason to get together? If the answer is yes, even loosely, it's worth a try.

And this isn't about throwing together a big event, with all the stress and prep that comes with it. The events that work best are usually the simplest ones: a small group, a quiet afternoon, a spontaneous evening on a weeknight when your business is running slow anyway. You already know your space better than anyone. All you have to do is open the door and let the connection happen.

How it actually works

You download Purple, create your profile, and set up your event just like any user would: a title, a description, a date, your address (looked up directly via Google Maps, no need to type it out), a category, a photo, and how many people you can host. Your event then goes through a quick review to keep Purple safe, and it becomes visible to every user in your area.

From there, they do the work: they discover your event, they sign up, and they come meet you in person, at your place. And beyond the handful of spots available for your event, your business becomes visible to thousands of women on the app. You didn't have to chase anyone down, you didn't have to pay to get noticed — you just opened your doors to a community that was waiting for a good reason to show up.

Why it's free

There's no catch. No commission on sign-ups, no business subscription, no card details to enter at any point. You create your event exactly like any other user would, and your business is the one that benefits. We'd rather Purple stay a place where women actually meet up, not become one more advertising space — so we don't charge the places that make that possible.

Your turn

If you run a business and hosting an event sounds like something you'd want to try, download Purple and create your own, or send us a quick message if you need a hand getting started. And if there's an entrepreneur in your circle who might be interested, tell her about it — that's usually how the best events get started.
