LocallyLive is a new sustainably-minded local discovery platform where users can browse daily deals, specials, events, and happenings at verified local "Spots." Users can apply to register their own local spots. If verified, they can create a spot profile and start posting daily deals and happenings live on the platform. The platform's mission is to keep money circulating in communities by encouraging people to spend with local entities and source local goods. Create a User Account to start discovering, or apply to register your Spot Account and start posting today! With LocallyLive for mobile, our users can: • Discover the daily postings of verified local entities on our Live Feed that are chronologically ordered and can be filtered by distance away from you. • Easily share posts and spots you find with friends and family, letting them know what looks like a good time or deal to participate in. • With easy-to-use action buttons located on the post and spot profile, you can easily navigate to a spot's address, contact them via phone, or visit their website. • View what’s going on around you in our Live Map feature, where you can visually see the posts populate in real time on our interactive map. • Use our Search tool to help you find what you're looking for: whether it's specialty foods like “gluten-free” menu items or a certain kind of activity like a “tour guide,” our search feature can make it possible. • If you own a local business/organization/event that meets our verification guidelines, then you can apply to verify & register your Spot Account within your user account today! With LocallyLive for mobile, our Registered Spot Accounts Can: • Set up their Spot Profile with relevant information about their local business, organization, or event. • Add their Spot’s history, ownership information, or the story about how the spot came to be in the Spot Profile’s “Our Story” section. This helps users to see who is behind the business/organization/event and gives transparency so the users can learn about the spot. • Fill out the “Community Impact” section of the profile. This is where a Spot can share what they contribute to the community. Some examples would be - restaurants sourcing local ingredients, taprooms serving local spirits, hosting community events/programs, or giving back to local charities. This is where our users can learn more about how a spot gives back to its local area. • Begin creating posts that can be scheduled with our built-in post scheduler. With our scheduler, you can have posts reoccur on a certain time and day of the week, every day, or build out a post to go up for months in advance or for weeks on end. • We offer multiple pictures and different text fields within posts. Depending on your subscription, each post can have up to 10 different pictures and text. • Spots can add Keywords to their posts so that users can find them more easily in our Search Tool. • When a Spot’s post goes live, it will populate our on Interactive Live Map at the address the Spot is listed at or to the post location they have it set to. • We offer a free 12-month “Launch Plan” subscription for all new spots verified to the platform. After your free year is up, we offer three, low-cost, monthly or yearly paid plans for Spot Accounts to choose from: Our “Base Plan,” “Growth Plan,” and “Summit Plan.” SPOT VERIFICATION & GUIDELINES: If you plan to verify a Spot Account, please review our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, which can be found within our mobile application and on our website, to review our process for determining which spots can be verified, the qualifications that deem them “local” and also the rules to abide by when posting and creating a profile. Thank you!
