Local perks membership for your neighborhood, $9/mo
9 followers
Relay is a $9/month membership for one neighborhood at a time, starting with Clarendon in Arlington, VA. Members get recurring perks — a free coffee, a class, a discount — from independent businesses within walking distance. Pre-launch: I’m signing local merchants now and collecting a waitlist. Would love feedback on whether the merchant side of this can work.
Love the hyper-local focus, picking one neighborhood feels way more intentional than the usual citywide membership apps. Curious to see if the $9 price point actually moves the needle for both sides once merchants start seeing repeat traffic.
Have you thought about adding a merchant dashboard so shop owners can see which perks drive the most redemptions and which members keep coming back? It would make the value of joining really obvious during sales conversations and give busy owners something concrete to brag about with neighboring shops.
The single-neighborhood focus is smart, makes it feel curated rather than sprawling, and the walking distance angle gives the whole thing a real sense of place.
