NearNotify Retail

NearNotify is a mobile app that lets local retailers send real-time, geofenced alerts about expiring inventory, flash sales, and new arrivals to nearby customers. It combines a simple broadcast tool with community-building features, replacing costly ads and low-engagement social posts.

  • Geofenced push notifications for expiring stock, flash sales, and new arrivals
  • Customer loyalty and community hub with rewards for repeated visits
  • Automated cross-platform sharing to social media with localized targeting
Target Users: Small local retailers (e.g., collectible card shops, bakeries, boutiques) who lack budget for ads and need to attract nearby customers quickly.
Revenue Model: Freemium with monthly subscription for unlimited broadcasts and advanced analytics ($9.99/month).
