How the Torbay and Torquay guide from Local Rewards keeps customers in the know

The Local Rewards High Street Guides showcase 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 as it appears in the Local High Street Guide, will always feature your most up to date information. And with constant trading changes caused by the pandemic, even if you can’t trade, you need to be creating content that keeps customers in the loop.

Travel businesses are handling uncertainty among customers by getting ahead of any questions customers may have about bookings. They may not be able to whisk anyone away at the moment, but local travel agents are still inspiring customers and giving them practical information.

We all have a part to play in helping businesses recover from the devastating impact of COVID-19. UK consumers are increasingly compelled to shop local and support and protect local businesses, which is great news for High Street businesses. You have a captive audience of customers who want to support you. Maybe* can help you get in front of that audience.

Maybe* has created Local Rewards. Local Rewards 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 Torbay and Torquay High Street Guide, detailing exactly what you need to do to ensure you appear in your Local High Street Guide.

Torbay and Torquay’s Local Rewards Guide and Offers

The Torbay and Torquay Local Rewards Guide is loaded with local and national businesses in the area. The guide is choc full of the Instagram content of Torbay and Torquay’s businesses, both local and national

Think of the Guide as a live and interactive curation of all the social media content showing exactly what the town has to offer shoppers and people looking for specialist services. And at the moment with businesses locked down, the guides shine a light on every business, and exactly how they are trading at the moment.

It’s tough for the travel industry with no one able to travel, and even tougher for customers who have bookings that they don't know will go ahead. With new announcements about lockdown and restrictions on the horizon, businesses have no more idea than the rest of us, what to expect. But travel agent Aztec Leisure is getting ahead of the likely increase in enquiries by providing customers with a clear idea about how they’ll engage and respond in the coming days.

This shows their customers that when they do have information, they will share it, and also demonstrates the importance of engaging your community by ensuring your content is always as accurate and up to date as it can be.
