Turning everyday student spending into local rewards and engagement
LocalLinked needed to connect student purchases with digital rewards while giving participating businesses a way to manage offers, discounts and prize contributions.
The challenge
Student purchases needed to provide a reason to return and engage with participating local businesses.
Physical purchases needed to be verified before digital reward points were awarded.
Helping students discover participating local businesses and available offers.
Participating businesses needed to manage their own offers and reward activity.
Monthly prizes required a structured way to convert student points into entries and select winners.
Platform operators needed central control over businesses, users, rewards and platform activity.
