About this idea

People have tried and keep trying to be the next Groupon. Groupon and LivingSocial are dying; they failed to innovate, broke local small business trust years ago, and can’t regain it. Their outdated sites and features no longer interest the market. The Nudge is doing it best, proving people want new ways to engage with businesses. They function as the TikTok for business, with 10M users and growing. Young users share videos of themselves engaging locally, and people love watching. They Nudge or drive their people to specific activities in their local cities. It’s working for them, but we are different.
91% of consumers check for a discount before purchasing online, showing strong interest in deals. Yet, there’s no novel, user-focused approach.
We Heart Local targets the 30-50 crowd with disposable income, offering real-time, personalized deals. Our platform goes beyond static posts and videos, engaging users dynamically. Imagine tapping “I’m bored” on our app and receiving tailored offers like 25% off jet ski rentals or a nearby whiskey tasting tour, perfectly matching your preferences and schedule.
Our app provides timely, affordable options and helps businesses fill slow periods with targeted offers. This creates a win-win scenario, fostering genuine connections and enhancing customer experiences. Our gamified loyalty program further encourages community engagement through neighborhood challenges and cross-business perks.
By seamlessly connecting users with local businesses through AI-driven, dynamic interactions, We Heart Local is revolutionizing how communities engage and thrive.
