Follow on Google News | NYC Based Mobile App Thinks Screwing Small Business is not so Amaz-ingTaap.it Live Local is offering consumers $10 off on local purchases made through their app.
By: Taap.it In order to drive consumer traffic to local vendors around the country, starting this week and extending through the holiday season, Taap.it will offer consumers $10 off on selected items purchased through the app or online and picked up locally. “Local stores represent 99.7% of all employer firms, they keep our country running, we can’t turn our backs to them,” said Dave Balkaran, Director of Business Development at Taap.it. Based on a shopper’s location, Taap.it enables them to find items in their cities from local stores. Shoppers are able to buy these items using their mobile device or their computers and are able to pick them up either the same day or the following day. If the buyer chooses to pick it up in-store, they will receive $10 off the item they purchased. All the items tagged with the hash tag #10 bucksoff are subject to the $10 off. “We are simplifying the way consumers shop. No more waiting in lines and no more waiting for weeks for an item to be delivered,” said Dave. “At the same time we are connecting more local businesses with more local consumers.” Allowing consumers to pick up the same day and offering them $10 off isn’t the only thing driving traffic to local businesses through Taap.it. The mobile app company has a sharing system in place which allows consumers to rate the items inside of a store and share it with friends. By rating the items and sharing it with friends consumers are earning points which they can later redeem for prizes. It’s also highly beneficial for small businesses, since the more their items are rated and shared the more visible their store will become. “Think foursquare with a more in-depth tone to it,” said Dave. “What is being offered inside the place matters more than the place itself. If you can walk into a restaurant and know what their best dish is, it will make your selection process that much easier.” # # # About Us: Taap.it Live Local is located in Midtown Manhattan with more than 20 employees and continues to grow fast.
