Why Customers Don't Come Back
Most local businesses lose customers not because of bad service, but because they have no way to bring them back.
- Customers forget about you when they need you most
- No way to reach your customers directly
- No system to reward customers who keep coming back
- Spending money on ads that bring in new customers, but can't keep them

- Done-for-you text messages written in your voice and communication style
- A custom digital loyalty card for Apple and Google Wallet, designed with your branding

You Don't Have To Figure This Out Alone
After 30 years working in marketing and creative services with local businesses, we’ve seen firsthand how hard it is to stay connected with customers while running everything else. Most business owners know they should be doing more to bring customers back, but they just don’t have the time, tools, or team to make it happen.
That’s exactly why we built Elevate Local. Not as another software platform to figure out — but as a complete, done-for-you service that handles the hard part for you. We’ll guide you through every step, set everything up, and keep it running every month so you can focus on your business.
How It Works
Linking customers to local businesses
Customer Retention
Did you know?
- Acquiring a new customer costs 5-25 times more than retaining an existing one.
- A 5% increase in customer retention can increase profits by 25%-95%
- Loyal customers spend 67% more than new customers.
Launch your reward program and keep customers coming back. Our mobile-friendly digital card solution works on Apple and Google Wallet. No additional hardware needed. Our scanner app makes card transactions simple.

Customer Acquisition
An effective way to attract and acquire new customers is by creating a special offer that’s delivered as a one-time digital coupon card.
- Simply add our QR Code to an offer you’re currently advertising, either through print or digital media.
- By scanning the QR code or clicking a link, the user will be prompted to sign up and install the one-time coupon card.
- After the coupon is redeemed at your business, it seamlessly converts into a digital punch card.
You just acquired a new customer into your loyalty program.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re going to help you build a thriving subscriber list when your customers join your loyalty program. Once your customers scan the QR code to download your loyalty card, you’ll collect their phone number as well. We’re going to supply you will QR code signage that you can use right away.

No. We will take care of this for you on our gateway. We’ll register your designated toll-free number and texting account on your behalf. We do all the setup for you, so you can focus on your business and your customers.
While local, 10DLC phone numbers are popular with local businesses, toll-free numbers are generally a better choice than 10DLC/A2P when using for SMS marketing purposes. Therefore, we recommend and purchase toll-free numbers exclusively.
- Toll-free numbers are exclusively used by companies
- Toll-free numbers have a professional reputation
- Toll-free numbers convey legitimacy and trust
- Toll-free numbers have higher throughput (number of messages sent per second)
- Toll-free numbers are generally quicker to register. You can get up and running sooner
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) supports multimedia content such as images, audio and GIFs.
SMS (Short Message Service) is limited to text. You can use emojis in your SMS messages, however the 160 character limit will be reduced to around 70 characters per segment. You can also add text links in your SMS messages.
While MMS offers additional media advantages, it’s also a lot more expensive. SMS remains a cost-effective option for simple text-based messages and notifications. SMS is seen as more relational (think family and friends).
For the purposes of marketing and ongoing customer engagement, it is strongly preferred to use SMS. SMS messages are more direct, quicker to read, more relational, compatible with virtually every mobile device, and less expensive. In order to maximize the value of customer engagement, we only send SMS messages.
We offer a free 30-day trial to see if this will be a good fit for your business. You have the option to cancel within this 30-day window. We do not offer refunds after the subscription process starts. However, we also do not lock you into a long-term commitment. You are free to cancel at any time.
If you ever need help in any way, please reach out to us. We are committed to working with you to help your business grow and succeed.
Feeling unsure is completely normal. It means you’re making a thoughtful decision. Here’s what we’d say: the biggest risk isn’t trying something new, it’s continuing to rely on foot traffic alone with no way to bring customers back.
Your 30-day trial gives you full access to everything with zero risk. If it’s not the right fit, just let us know before your trial ends and you won’t be charged a thing. We’re confident once you see it running, you’ll wonder why you waited.
