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.
First 10 founding businesses free monthly · No POS integration · Every local shop welcome
The problem
Sound familiar?
Word of mouth is your best channel — and you can't see it, attribute it, or pay for it.
The channels you can measure don't fit a shop: city coupons bring deal-hunters, and ad platforms take a cut of every sale.
You run the floor, not a marketing team — no hours for a campaign calendar, no budget for one that might flop.
The solution
Team up with neighbors
Ooh!local turns the shops around you into a cooperative marketing engine — delivering verified customers to your counter, not impressions to a dashboard.
Before you join
Check out your atomic network
Enter your shop address and see the 1 km around your door — member shops, what they cover, live offers today, and how many neighbors have been looking. Open the standalone preview.
How it works
Five steps, two minutes of your time
Join free
Add your shop and one offer. You get 10 platform-funded referrals before a card is needed.
Print your counter QR
It comes from your dashboard — no hardware needed.
Neighbors share it
Shops and customers pass it on, earning a share of the fee.
Customers walk in
They redeem on their own phone. You confirm at the counter.
You pay, then repeat
Nothing until a customer redeems. Then it loops.
Benefits
What is in it for your shop
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 1 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 for founding businesses
The first 10 founding businesses within 1 km pay no monthly fee — permanently. Referral fees still leave your balance only on a verified redemption, held 14 days.
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.
Trust & privacy
Your list stays yours
- Your customer list stays yours. We never share raw emails or phone numbers.
- Businesses see aggregate analytics only: redemptions, new vs. returning.
- Customers opt in explicitly. They can pause or opt out anytime.
- Fees are held 14 days before the sender is paid, so you can dispute a redemption; the sender's share is clawed back if it was fake.
- QR plus a short-lived redemption code, with staff verification for higher-value rewards.
