Get Your Business on Deck with EatShopPlayMersea

EatShopPlayMersea started as a simple idea on Facebook — to make it easier for people to find everything our incredible island has to offer in one place. Over the years, it has grown steadily into the ultimate, go-to guide for both local residents and holiday visitors looking to explore.

While this remains a proudly independent, homegrown project, there are real ongoing costs involved in keeping our ship moving, tracking down all the latest news, and updating our master guides year after year.

Because of that, these options are not traditional advertising packages. Instead, they are a simple, friendly way for local businesses to step on deck and help keep this community resource alive.

Most island businesses choose to enlist because it feels like a perfectly fair exchange: you help support the platform that spends every day actively supporting and promoting you.

Whether you want to be a frontline leader alongside The Anchors or join our foundational network of local Shipmates, we have a perfect spot for your business on our deck.
