Capture customers.
Bring them back.
Local Retention helps local businesses capture customers before they walk away — then professionally markets to them through weekly email and a managed local website designed to keep them coming back. SMS opt-in capture is included, with text campaigns available as an add-on.

A professional campaign, created and sent for you.
COMES BACK ↗
Every customer who walks out without joining your list is a customer you may never be able to reach again.
Local businesses spend years building foot traffic, relationships and repeat customers — but many still have no reliable way to contact those customers after they leave.
Then it never gets done. Local Retention fixes that.

Build Your Customer List While They’re Still Standing in Front of You
Every Local Retention business gets its own custom QR customer-capture system. Customers can quickly provide their first name, email and optional mobile number with SMS opt-in. Their information is automatically added to that business’s own customer list.
No app to download. No complicated signup.
