Collaborate with complementary local businesses to drive foot traffic and mutual growth—even without big budgets.
Grow by Partnering, Not Competing
Big marketing budgets? No—but you already have opportunities nearby. Partner with non-competing local businesses to cross-promote and grow together.
1. Bundle Promotions
Team up with a florist: “Bring this receipt from FedEx Office and get a 10% discount on flowers.” Simple, low-cost, high-value exposure.
2. Host Micro-Events Together
Meetups, sampling, local art pop-ups. You share traffic and marketing, with minimal effort.
3. Gift-Card Swaps
Offer $10 store credit when customers show a partner’s receipt. They do the same with yours. You both benefit.
4. Track It in Your POS
M&M POS can add partner codes or coupon tracking to monitor which deals drive visits and sales.
Final thoughts
No income stands alone. Local partnerships extend reach at low cost—with marketing built-in. And your POS lets you know what’s working and what’s not.
