Save Local Augusta

Exclusive Launch Partner Program

We want to Promote Your Small business!

We’re launching something exciting for local businesses like yours!

We’re adding a new page to the site – Save Local Augusta. This page will showcase sales, discounts, and special offers for local businesses – making it easier for customers to find and support you!

**How Will the Save Local Augusta Page Work?**

🔹A single page on our site will be dedicated to displaying promotions and coupons for participating local businesses

🔹To redeem the featured promotions, there will be 2 options:
1. ONLINE: Businesses can either provide a link to their website (with or without a coupon code), and customers may redeem the promotion online
2. IN-PERSON: Customers will be asked to provide the coupon on their mobile device to the place of business to redeem the promotion

Before the full launch of the program, we’d like to invite a small number of locally owned small businesses to join our Save Local Augusta – Exclusive Launch Partner Program.

Eligible businesses will submit their promotional listings during this Launch and will be promoted for 30 days after publication, during which time the offers and promotions will actively be shared with our 12k+ email subscribers and our 3.5k Facebook followers.

Why Should you Join the Exclusive Launch Partner Program?

🔹 Increased Exposure – Your promotion will be featured on our website and actively to our audience for less than $1 a day!
🔹 More Customers – Exclusive discounts and promotions can attract new customers and reactivate past ones!
🔹 Early Access – Be among the select few to test the program and take advantage of the program before the public launch.
🔹 Help Shape the Program– Your feedback will help us improve the process so that it benefits local businesses like yours.
🔹Lock in Exclusive Low Pricing – The price for this service will increase after the launch period, but you’ll be able to lock in low pricing as an Exclusive Launch Partner Program member
