The challenge

You have no direct line to the city, or to the residents next door.

Notices, renewals and community events reach you by word of mouth. And the foot traffic the city wants to send your way has no easy way to find you.

A license renewal arrives as a letter you find too late.

Road closures and utility work near your storefront are easy to miss.

Community promotions have no shared place residents already look.

Fees are paid in person or through a portal you use once a year.

A day in the role

A day for a shop on Main Street.

6:00
Check the calendar and newsletter

See which events and closures the city has announced for the week.

9:00
Renew a license

Pay the fee in the app and keep the receipt there.

11:00
A broken curb

Report it with a pin and a description. Staff assign it to the department that owns it.

3:00
A resident redeems an offer

They show a code at the counter, the same way for every participating business.

6:00
The city sees the redemptions

Offers and redemptions show up in the city's rewards reports.

The Bloomz difference

A local offer, not a coupon book.

Civic Rewards points are awarded by city staff for real participation, then redeemed at local businesses. A LOCAL badge marks offers from businesses in town, so residents can tell them apart from offers issued by other organizations.

Questions we hear

What business owners ask first.

Who lists the offer?

City staff manage the offer catalog. Ask your city office to list yours, with a title, a description, a points cost and an optional redemption limit.

Is Civic Rewards on in every city?

No. It's an optional module that a city switches on.

What does it cost a business?

The city, not the business, subscribes to Bloomz for Cities.

Also built for the people you work with.
