OVERVIEW
The idea of Qippit is to bring small and medium retail business together with new customers - simple!
Our app will provide customers with access to discounted products and services in the stores that are closest to them. Based on proximity, customers will be able to filter for what they are looking for - clothes, food, drinks, entertainment etc. And then make a product purchase, through the app, at a discounted rate. But they will have to be quick, as there will only be one of each product or service available each day.
Businesses will have a free advertising and marketing tool, that can bring them closer to customers who are already in their area and looking to shop! The idea is that businesses won't be competing with the big outlets (e.g. the corner sandwich shop is going up against Subway), because the big outlets won't be able to use our app. We are trying to create a space for small to medium business to grow, and help keep the colour and character that variety brings to any retail sector.
But the real secret is how the app will make money - which, sorry, but we can't say. However, our approach will be highly profitable, whilst being ethical and mindful of the interests of our target audiences.
