For locally-owned businesses
One free thing. One week. A line of new locals.
A Flash Perk is the simplest way to introduce your business to a crowd of paying locals. You give away one thing for a week, and we send a wave of brand-new Members through your door.
- Free menu item from a new spot
- Free class, blowout, or service
- Sneak peek of a new opening
- Anything you can hand out in 1 week
3-day avg launch · 7-day run · Guaranteed ROI
How It Works
Simple Setup. Big Results. Launch your Perk in as little as 3 days.
We make our money from our Members—not from you. That means we cover every cost of getting your Perk in front of thousands of paying locals — copy, design, promotion, and even your food cost if Members don't spend enough. Zero risk, zero overhead, real new customers.
02
Offline Sets It Up
We build the Perk, write the copy, and send it back for a quick thumbs-up. No briefs, no creative lifting, no agency fees.
Time: 1–2 business days.
03
Goes Live to Members
Your Perk goes live in the app, email, and (sometimes) social. Paying Members claim and redeem it over a 7-day window.
Time: 7-day run.
04
Results & Recap
Track redemptions, spend, tips, and reviews. Offline calculates profitability and covers your food cost if Members don't spend enough.
Time: 1–2 days after wrap.
Why Flash Perks
Problems Flash Perks solve for businesses.
01
You want to promote something new, but closing down for an event doesn't make sense.
- Private events don't always make sense for fast-casual or counter-service locations.
- When Members are mixed in with regular business, "events" lose that "event" feeling.
- Flash Perks create buzz without adding friction to normal operations.
02
You want new faces in the door. Lots of them.
- Most Offline Members who visit will be first-time, local customers who may not know you yet.
- You're not discounting to your existing base of followers — this is targeted exposure to brand-new locals.
- Every redemption is a real customer relationship, not an Instagram tap.
03
You don't want to give away product with no return.
- Offline guarantees profit — we cover your food cost if Member spend doesn't.
- Optional, free POS integrations (Toast, Square) track spend, tips, and profit in real time.
- Our data shows most Members make additional purchases that more than offset the free item.
