Neighborhood Referral Network

Your neighbors’ regulars are your next customers.

Word of mouth is the only marketing that works on trust. We make it trackable — and pay the people who do it.

One offer, one counter QR code. Nearby shops send you their regulars — you send them yours. Staff verifies at the counter, so every dollar ties to a walk-in. Learn more ↓

What a neighborhood referral network is

Your regulars are your best source of customers. You already have that channel — it is just unmeasurable and unpaid today. A referral network connects the shops on your street, credits whoever sent a customer, and charges you only when someone reaches your counter.

Your neighborhood referral networkYour shop at the center, eight neighboring shops around it, and customers flowing in both directions along every connection, within 5 km. Every walk-in is verified at your counter.within 5 kmCoffeeDeliPubRestaurantFloristBakeryPet storeMartYour shopOoh!local

How a referral moves

  1. A shop sets a price

    You name what a new customer is worth. No media plan, no campaign calendar.

  2. The street carries it

    Nearby shops show it to their regulars, and any customer can share it with a link.

  3. Someone walks in

    They redeem at your counter and staff check a code. That is the only moment anything is charged.

  4. The split settles

    Whoever sent the customer earns 25% of the fee, and your list never moves.

Then your regulars get sent next door — the loop repeats.

The unit is your street, not an audience. Nobody buys an impression, and nobody owns your list.

What you get

Neighbors helping neighbors

Your regulars do the marketing

They share your offer with their own link and keep 25% of the fee when a friend walks in.

New faces from your own block

Offers reach locals within 5 km — and every shop that joins is another place your offer appears.

You pay only for walk-ins

Name the price per customer. Staff confirm each redemption with a PIN — no visit, nothing drawn from your balance.

No monthly fee, no media budget

Fees leave your prepaid balance only as verified redemptions happen, held 14 days so you can dispute one.

Minutes to set up, seconds at the counter

No campaigns, no ad manager, no agency.

Your margins stay yours

You set the offer and its size — the discount never becomes the product.

Not ads, and not delivery

Instead of deal sites

  • Deep discounts pull bargain-hunters, not regulars.

  • Offers stay neighbor-scale, and whoever sends a customer earns a share.

Instead of delivery apps

  • They keep your customers and your data — you become a kitchen in the background.

  • Customers walk into your shop and become your regulars. The list stays yours.

Three truths

What every independent shop runs into

Independent businesses cannot afford to pay for “maybe.”

Every available channel charges you before it knows whether anyone responds. You set a price per verified walk-in, and no walk-in means no charge.

Independent businesses do not have time to become marketers.

The modern ad stack is a part-time job on top of a full-time one. Here the work is one printed code and one PIN, and it runs itself after that.

Independent businesses need proof, not promises.

No impressions, no clicks, no guesswork. One number: how many people walked through your door.
