Today's shopping environment is marked by  fierce price competition. Shoppers can scan a barcode with their phones and see how much cheaper they can find the same item online, with free shipping, and purchase it with asingle click. At the same time, new services like Google Offers and Amazon Local offer metric-driven digital marketing services to local businesses. Can a Business Improvement District (BID), whose main task is to manage marketing for its member businesses, stay relevant? And can local merchants stay competitive with online big-box retailers?
SweetPerk partners with shopping communities to build mobile apps branded to their unique identities. The apps encourage residents to shop local and they enable merchants to drive foot traffic and generate loyalty.
