Every new customer who walks through your door has immediate value, but the real gold is in building a mailing list you own. With each signup, you’re creating a direct line to people who already shop locally—meaning you can reach them again and again without paying for ads. That customer list increases sales today and becomes one of your most valuable business assets if you ever sell your store. In short: more customers now, and a growing asset that keeps paying off long-term.
ShopLocal puts your irresistible free and discounted offers in front of nearby shoppers at the exact moment they're buying in another store. Our tap/QR stand at partner counters showcases your deal; customers opt in with email to claim it, and visit you. You get foot traffic now and a growing mailing list for repeat sales.
When customers in nearby stores see your offer for a free item, they need to collect it in person at your store. That brings fresh local shoppers to you. Plus, to claim their offer they must provide their name and email address which are added to your mailing list. That real-world context turns interest into real store visits.
Yes, expecially when your customers are local and the emails are verified. You receive an email address and name from everyone who chooses your offer at partnering stores. No more wasting money on advertising that just gives impressions.
By offering customers something in exchange for providing it. Asking someone to join your mailing list is not very effective, but if people can earn a free coffee or item exchange for their data they will happily provide it to you. Our network captures emails when shoppers claim your freebie, with built-in verification and automatic syncing to your list.
You display a plastic sign on your sales counter that customers can tap or scan inviting the shopper to see exclusive deals or free offers in the area. Shoppers choose the offer they are interested in and provide an email address to claim it. You get new customers and your offer appears on other counters. We automatically balance everything so everyone shares shoppers fairly.
Many merchants see claims within days as nearby traffic discovers your offer. Claims result in adding emails to your mailing list and real visits to your business.

No. All you need to do is provide your store details, display a tracking sign on your sales counter, and list a freebie item in your account. Your offer will then appear to shoppers at other nearby stores when they tap their signs, and vice versa. The network you are assigned to is based on geography and other factors using a sophisticated automatic system that keeps everything fair and delivers you the best results.
Our system is most effective for any bricks-and-mortar business that has foot traffic and a place to display the tappable sign. It's great for boutiques, salons, cafés, gyms, bakeries, clothing and coffee shops, gift shops, or any local business that benefits from repeat customers and email-driven promos.
We emphasize local, limited-quantity offers and giveaways. The customers who will see your offers were not 'hunting for coupons' when they were shopping in other stores. The tapped a sign inviting them to find local giveaways. Once they visit your store or join your mailing list, you can continue to market to them in the future. They basically become a long term customemr.
