How consistent content on social media ensures your business stays discoverable in Ripon

The Local Rewards High Street Guides for Ripon showcases the best businesses in any place at a local and a national level. Being active on social media on a regular basis means that your business appears in the Local High Street Guide, and will always feature your most up-to-date information. With the pandemic regularly shifting the trading goalposts, even if you can’t trade, you still need to create content that keeps customers inspired and your business at the front of their minds.

We all have a part to play in helping businesses recover from the devastating impact of COVID-19. The good news is that consumers are increasingly compelled to shop local and support and protect local businesses. This means you have a captive audience of customers who want to support you. Plus you have Maybe* at your fingertips which can help you get in front of that audience.

Maybe* has created Local Rewards. It is a nationwide program that increases local spend by connecting shoppers, local businesses and places via social media, transactions and chat. 

Local Rewards connects every UK High Street with:

• A live local shopping guide that updates automatically
• A way to reach shoppers when they are nearby 
• An infrastructure that rewards shoppers for their local spend 

Here we share inspiration from the Ripon Local High Street Guide, detailing exactly what you need to do to ensure your business appears.
