NowLocal, Inc. app for iPhone and iPad

NowLocal is a free app that lets you quickly find and connect to virtually every consumer business (stores, restaurants, doctors, auto repair…) in your town, making it the "must have" app for anyone in a town.

Buying locally helps our communities. NowLocal makes it easy for you to do just that and makes it fun with offers, specials, and events from select merchants. Even if you’ve lived in a town for years, it’s likely there are many nearby businesses you’ve never heard of. NowLocal makes it possible to Discover Your Town™.

NowLocal is also an effective and affordable way for local merchants to connect to their local consumers, through the device they use the most – smartphones.

Note: NowLocal is currently available for a limited number of towns in Massachusetts.

For Consumers:
NowLocal gives you two easy ways to find local businesses you need, and discover local merchants you may not know about. If you know what product, service or business you want, you can search the app and get meaningful results. Or if you don’t know what you want – say you want to eat out, but aren’t sure where to go – you can browse through intuitive categories. Since NowLocal has listings for almost every business in a town, if there’s a local merchant that has what you need, you’ll find it on NowLocal.

Plus, select merchants add offers and events continuously to NowLocal, meaning there is always something new to explore, and making it easier to support your local businesses. And you’ll find useful and valuable discounts that are right nearby!

When you view a listing in NowLocal, you can view the business on a map just by tapping on the address. Or you can call the business just by tapping on the phone number. Some businesses have enhanced listings with pictures and more information, so you can learn more about their business. More enhanced listings will appear all of the time.

Want to find local businesses in another town? As NowLocal expands to other localities, you’ll be able to instantly download the information for that town, and get the same unified view of local businesses wherever you are.

For Businesses:
NowLocal gives you an affordable, super easy way to make your business visible on the mobile phones of the consumers most likely to do business with you – those in your town and surrounding towns.

NowLocal contains a free listing for every consumer business in a town, including yours. By upgrading to one of our affordable Enhanced listings you can make your business stand out with customized information such as pictures, detailed descriptions of your products and services, website, hours of operation, and much more. And enhanced listing merchants can add offers and events to your listing to gain even more awareness. Enhanced listing merchants can also add their businesses to additional categories and add search keywords that will make it easier for nearby consumers to find their business. New content, offers and events can be added in just minutes and changed at any time, making it easy to try new promotions, and get the word out.

To help local merchants grow their business, NowLocal also provides valuable analytics for Enhanced listing businesses. For example, NowLocal tracks all coupon redemptions automatically and provides reports which give useful insights about customers, and overall buying behavior in an area.
