If you’re considering a gift certificate or currency program for your town you’ll probably be focused on how it’s a great source of non-dues revenue for your chamber or shop local association. But a local currency program also brings some great benefits to your merchants.
Here’s what businesses love about Conpoto’s local currency program:
Increased Exposure
Your organization can market its local gift certificates program to larger businesses as employee incentives. This gives your smaller merchants the ability to get in front of a larger industry or business as the company uses the currency program as gifts for employees.
Ease of Use
Businesses also enjoy how easy the gift certificates are to redeem. Some businesses have selected to incorporate redemption right through their point of sale system, making it just as easy to use as a credit card. The certificates can then be processed in the end-of-day reports.
Opportunity to Advertise
Conpoto’s local currency program allows you to give businesses the opportunity to advertise on the currency program’s website page, in a listing, and along the printed certificate itself for additional revenue for you and more exposure for your businesses.
Fraud Detector
Conpoto’s currency program also has an app so figuring out if the certificate is valid or not can all be done electronically. Simply scan the code or punch in the numbers and there’s instant validation.
The mobile app also helps the businesses that are a part of the currency program get found. This doesn’t happen through a phone book anymore. When people are looking for shops or restaurants, they search on their phones.
Helps Local Businesses Support and Shop Local
For smaller local merchants who give employee awards or incentives, this currency program helps them give the gift of local to their employees, which is a reward for the employee and the community.
Local currency programs offer more than just another non-dues revenue stream. They offer a way to help local businesses gain more exposure for very little cost.
