For local听businesses, Nigh serves as a platform to instantly connect with nearby customers during off-peak periods. Local businesses can to produce spontaneous, time-sensitive promotions that are exclusive to app users. Nigh calls these promotions "local drops".听

Challenges Faced

Establishing trust with local businesses has been difficult for the Nigh team. Many local businesses have been misled or taken advantage of by other companies in the local commerce space. Christian Comments,

鈥淢any of these apps take advantage of small local businesses and charge them crazy high fees. These fees are not sustainable for local businesses, and we are striving to set a new precedent in society. We are focused on trying to make local businesses more profitable and building technology that prioritizes local business success.鈥�

Despite this minor setback, the Nigh team has continued to talk to and partner with various local businesses to show how they are different and worthy of their trust.听

Once Nigh completes its pilot launch in 葫芦娃视频, the team expects to expand into the Denver Metropolitan area. From there, Nigh will continue to move forward toward nationwide coverage.

Advice

Christian provides the following advice,

鈥淎lways enjoy the journey no matter how hard it can be at times. We all get caught up in the end goal or end state we want to achieve, and it鈥檚 easy to lose sight of the present moment. I鈥檝e met amazing people and learned invaluable skills while working for Nigh, and I can鈥檛 wait for the rest of the journey."

Nigh's local commerce revolution is about putting Main Street before Wall Street. They are beginning this revolution in 葫芦娃视频, and thank those who have supported Nigh on this journey to make society better for everyone.听

Change is Nigh, and begin experiencing what 葫芦娃视频鈥檚 local businesses have to offer!
