THE TRUTH ABOUT CUSTOMER ACQUISITION
Traditional marketing doesn't bring locals through your door
Most customer acquisition is expensive and impersonal. You pay for ads that interrupt strangers, send mailers people throw away, or hope that online reviews bring someone in. It's costly, it's forgettable, and it doesn't build real relationships with your community.
Gemspot flips it. Instead of chasing customers, you become a destination. Players are actively exploring their town, looking for new places to discover. When they find your gem, they're not responding to an ad — they're on a mission. They show up, they engage, and they remember you.
WHAT IT IS
A free treasure hunt that brings players to your door
Your business becomes a "gem" on the Gemspot map. Players download the free app, see your location marked, and come to your business to find a hidden Gemspot medallion. They scan it, solve a riddle, and claim the gem. Simple, fun, and it gets real people through your door.
It's completely free to join. You get the medallion, the setup materials, and ongoing support from the Gemspot team. If you want to go further — with a branded business page, bigger map marker, or direct push notifications to players — you can upgrade to Premium or Platinum.
You're not paying for ads. You're becoming part of something your community is already excited about.
WHAT YOU ACTUALLY BECOME
The business that gave the town something fun
You're not just getting foot traffic. You're building a reputation as a place worth visiting, a spot that's part of your community's story. Players remember the businesses they find on the hunt. They come back. They tell their friends.
With Premium, you get a branded page that tells your story and showcases what makes you special. With Platinum, you send exclusive deals and events directly to players' phones — better than emails they'll never read.
You're not just a business. You're a local favorite.
A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDERS
Why we built Gemspot
Gemspot started in a small Oklahoma lake town we love — built by a mother and daughter giving back to our community, and bringing a fresh marketing idea to an industry that needs one.
Building it side by side.
Showing up — every season.
We moved to Oklahoma in 2020 and fell hard for Grand Lake — and the way we fell for it was by showing up. For six years, this community is where we spent our time and gave our hearts.
Showing up — every season. Lexi was fully involved in the best way: student council president, cheerleading and stunt, volunteering at charity events, always one of the first to show up when the town needed hands. Misti was right there beside her — together we even co-founded Mooving Through Grove, a charity event for C.O.W. week that helped students raise nearly $250,000 in Lexi’s senior year. Somewhere along the way, all that showing up stopped being something we did — it became who we are, and the biggest part of what we love about living here.
Then came the bittersweet part. With Lexi heading off to college, that whole rhythm of being out in the community together was about to change — drastically. And neither of us wanted it to end.
So we created Gemspot: a reason to keep showing up, and a way to pull a whole town out into the businesses and streets we love. We built it for our town and for us — and now we get to build it for realtors and towns everywhere.
"We didn't want to leave home behind. So we built something to share home with everyone."
— Misti & Lexi, Founders of Gemspot
"Every town is full of gems. Go find them."
