A Community Building App That Connects Businesses With Local Customers
Pushlocal takes a hyper-local approach to connecting local customers with local businesses, non-profits and their local government.
Startup: Pushlocal
Co-Founded: Zach Jex and Brent Bourland
Launched: June 2012
Base: Natchez, MS
Challenge: Go to Twitter and find 10 restaurant specials in your city.
According to Zach Jex, Co-Founder of Pushlocal, social networks like Foursquare, Twitter and Facebook let you send information out into the Internet ether but none of networks are a real effective way to attract customers in the community. Jex says he and his partner wanted to find a way to make this process simple, affordable and measurable for small businesses.
On the other side of the equation, Jex says he just found it hard to keep up with what was happening with local businesses in his town.
