Keep customers in the loop between visits
Share news, products, services, events and offers through a channel customers chose — not one rented from a social algorithm.
A shared platform that makes local commerce easier to discover, more rewarding and better connected — for businesses, customers and communities.
Between visits, someone else has their attention.
Customers want to shop local — yet often cannot see what is happening a few streets away, even at businesses they already know. Between visits, big brands and online operators hold attention. Smaller businesses are stronger when they close that gap together. Email lists and basic stamp schemes are not enough. Blanket discounts eat into margin and train customers to expect them.
A loyalty programme you own and brand — plus store news, targeted campaigns, nearby discovery and cross-promotion with other local businesses, in one shared app. See how members, visits and campaigns are performing without managing a marketing stack.
Build a direct channel to your audience, reward the behaviours that matter and reach potential customers already shopping nearby.
Support local businesses and get rewarded for loyalty — in one app where you control the noise. Your next great find may be around the corner.
Bring a local community programme into the app built for footfall — digitise membership, add value for members and see what is working.
Four practical ways to close the gap with online commerce — and start without an IT project.
Share news, products, services, events and offers through a channel customers chose — not one rented from a social algorithm.
Use points, stamps, vouchers and campaigns to encourage return visits, fill quiet periods and grow baskets — without blanket discounting.
Cross-promote complementary businesses and join local communities so the area competes as a destination — while each shop still has its own reasons to visit.
Set up online, run it from a phone or tablet, and let loyocal handle scheduled campaigns, customer preferences and reporting in the background.
One place to browse local businesses, keep up with favourites and manage rewards — without juggling separate cards and apps.
Concrete scenarios — not generic marketing speak.
A café voucher valid 8–10am only brings regulars in when tables are empty — without discounting busy Saturday brunch.
Quiet hours get demand. Peak hours keep value.
A regular has not visited in three months. Send a “we miss you” voucher for this week only — not a blanket discount for everyone else.
Bring back the ones who drifted.
Someone leaves the salon next door still on the high street. Your menswear shop can reach them with 15% off chinos — same day, while they are still out.
Right place, right mood, right offer.
The brunch café shares a voucher for your gallery; you return the favour. Customers get a reason to stay local — you both get footfall.
A neighbour sends customers your way.
After a visit, invite the customer to leave a Google or Trustpilot review — a neutral ask at the right moment, not another newsletter.
Reputation that compounds.
Supermarket-style deals sized for your shop: spend thresholds, quiet-day windows, or “dessert with any main” — set the rules once.
Reward with purpose, not a flat sale.
Feeling great after a haircut? Keep the vibes going with a local offer for a new outfit or a glass of wine. loyocal helps neighbouring businesses reach people when it matters — with consent and relevance, not cold spam.
Appear in Offers near you when people are already out locally. Boost placement when you want extra visibility. Or partner with the gym, salon or café next door — they share a voucher for your business as a reward, and you can return the favour. Same-category rivals are not stacked against you in the promoted band.
Right place, right mood, right offer.
Outside of big retail, classic reward stamp schemes work for cafés and bakeries but not for most other businesses. Your business may already have some online presence, you may have experimented with rewards schemes before. You want to better connect with and understand your customers and grow your business.
The obvious case for rewards schemes may be for high street stores, such cafés, restaurants, takeaways, salons, barbers, fitness and wellness, specialist retail, leisure and other independent businesses that rely on repeat visits and local discovery.
loyocal also works for businesses that are not traditional retailers, such as service businesses, car showrooms, financial services, legal services, and other businesses that want to be able to communicate periodically with the customers, market their services to nearby footfall, or local residents, and incentivise visits with promotions from other local businesses.
loyocal is not a till replacement, a payment processor or a mass coupon marketplace. It is a practical customer-engagement platform where you own your brand and customer experience that you can use without needing an IT project.
We are working with early partners across the UK. If you run a local business or a place-based community, we would like to hear from you.
