Calling all businesses to sign up to new Citizen Coin app
Tuesday, June 04, 2024
Do you own a business in Wakefield? Would you like to reward people who volunteer and promote your business to the district?
Sign up to the new Citizen Coin app and promote your business to volunteers across the district.
Citizen Coin is a new unique rewards app and website. It rewards people who volunteer with Citizen Coins, which can be spent on discounts at local businesses.
“The Citizen Coin app is a brilliant way to promote your business whilst encouraging people to volunteer and supporting those who already do wonderful work in our local communities.
“And it’s all completely free. I’d encourage local businesses to take a look and sign up today.”
Cllr Maureen Cummings
Cabinet Member for Communities, Poverty and Health
The app is free to use for everybody. Register to the scheme and you can:
• Promote your offers to every volunteer who joins the app
• Boost footfall to your business
• Increase support for volunteers and your community
Citizen Coin has helped businesses in other areas of West Yorkshire. Here’s what a retailer had to say about their experience in joining the scheme:
“Business had been slow, and we did not have funds to invest in marketing and advertising. Citizen Coin helped by getting our name out there and drumming up new business for us. New customers have come through our doors to try our food. We have had such positive reviews and repeat business.
“As a small, family-run business, we are really happy and proud to offer discounts to our customers for the all the volunteering and the good that they do. Citizen Coin is helping us identify who these amazing people in our community are, while we are offering discounts and encouraging them to keep up the good work.”
