"This is a No-Brainer! Why would we NOT sign up?"
Without exaggeration, this is the most common comment we hear when speaking with cities and civic groups about City Skeds.
City Skeds provides a great deal of value for a low price and enables cities to help out businesses in their area.
City Skeds is an exciting new shop local program that helps cities increase sales tax revenue, businesses attract new customers, and residents find big savings!
Your city or business association can join with Skeds to promote local shopping in your community by building a City Skeds campaign in your area. All business owners can sign up for a Skeds Business Home Page for free on your City Skeds shop local portal page. Learn how to get your city or area Involved!
- Cities can join the City Skeds program to provide local residents and businesses with a shop local website featuring exclusive offers and promotions. City Skeds includes a centralized buy local portal at a simple web address that everyone can easily remember. This page offers a showcase that features all participating businesses and allows residents to search these businesses to find what they desire. See an example for the City of North Richland Hills "Shop NRH" shop local program
- Skeds can provide design services to help create graphics for each city's shop local program. See some examples of what we have created.
- Each business that joins is provided with a customizable business profile page on the City Sked portal page for your shop local campaign. Businesses can link to this page from their existing website, or even use the Skeds business home as their website.
- Residents can subscribe to receive emails from any business participating in your City Skeds shop local program. They can receive new offers from their favorite local businesses as soon as they are posted to your City Skeds shop local campaign portal.
- Participation by businesses and residents is completely free! For a limited time, we are also waiving all setup and maintenance fees for new cities who wish to launch a unique shop local program for their residents and businesses. See our pricing schedule for normal rates.
We work with civic groups including economic development boards, city governments, chambers of commerce, and others to help produce effective City Skeds shop local campaigns. To get your city or area involved, Contact Us for more information.
