️Save Local — a platform to help Hospitality & Retail businesses during the COVID-19 crisis.
Purchase gift cards to support your favourite local businesses!
Firstly, we hope you, your team and families are safe from the COVID19 outbreak. These are undeniably torrid times for each of us, however, it also presents us with the opportunity to bring out the best in us.
Hashtag Loyalty has empowered over 3000 businesses in the past 5 years to establish strong, meaningful and long-lasting relationships with customers. While these relationships with customers are important to the daily activity at your business, in a crisis such as this — they will prove to be vital to survival.
Retail and hospitality have been amongst the worst affected businesses due to the recent COVID-19 health crisis. As India observes a 21-day lockdown, they too have closed their doors to ensure our safety, despite it meaning a complete stop to their revenues. While such a lockdown for an enterprise might mean a dip in their revenue graphs, but for the local businesses we love — it is a matter of survival. They require urgent cash-flow to ensure payment for rents, utilities, loans, insurance and most importantly salaries for their employees.
Being a technology company we’ve done what we do best and have launched a special initiative Save Local (savelocal.in), a platform where loyal customers can buy gift cards of their favourite local businesses and support them.
These gift cards are a manifestation of customer loyalty. Every purchase made is a guarantee of future visits and a gesture of care and shared passion for your business.
How does Save Local help a business?
1. Issue gift cards to your customers in a seamless manner
2. Guarantees customer footfall post lockdown
3. Immediate cash-flow from sale of gift cards
We at Hashtag Loyalty invite not just our merchants but every business owner from the retail & hospitality sector to add their business, create a gift card and avail the benefits of Save Local.
