Why is Local First Arizona providing this?

Local First Arizona wants you to connect with the thousands of mobile consumers passing by your business daily. Consumers are becoming increasingly mobile and shoppers are now demanding access to personalized sales and information based on their location. Using HyLo enables your business to effectively reach this increasingly mobile customer base with up-to-the-minute information, promotions, sales and events that are specific to your business and its locations. As your customers are made aware of the fact that your business is now providing tangible value in the mobile space, promotions and events will help your business move inventory and fill seats when you need it most.

Why would I promote this?

You now have a tool to reach local customers through their mobile device with unique daily or even hourly, deals! But the only way customers will know about your mobile promotions is if you tell them you’re now mobile. It will be a welcome surprise to your customer when you ask them to always check the Local First mobile application when they’re near your business. By reminding customers in your neighborhood to check and see what deal you’re offering today, you’re effectively giving the person a reason to stop into your business when they’re already right outside your door.

How do I promote this?

Promotion of your application among customers is easy….Tell them about it!

If customers are going to access your sales, they need to know about them first. By telling customers that you’re now continually creating accessible, mobile sales on a regular basis, you create an excitement and incentive to shop among people who frequent your business. Give them a new reason to stop in every day of the week! When you create a buzz by continually providing unique, locally accessible sales, the word will spread quickly. But it all starts with you.

So remember, the first step is to talk about it!

What is the value to the Business?

As more customers use your mobile application to view real-time, location specific information about your business, you’ll have an increasing number of opportunities to generate new sales at the times you want. The easy-to-use platform helps your business connect with surrounding events and activities. You can then run any number of mobile promotions in conjunction with these events, which are specific to your location and quickly accessible by local, passing customers. By partnering your business with local events and offering sales that the large crowds can quickly access, you continually create unique reasons to bring in new business when and where you need it most.
