Read the transcript
What if the money employers already spend recognizing their people could also help strengthen local businesses?
Meet ABC Company. They want to thank their team, so they use Savortown to choose a participating local business—Bayside Coffee Shop.
ABC Company purchases gifts for its employees.
Moments later, Maria receives a message:
ABC Company sent you a $25 gift to Bayside Coffee Shop.
It's a real gift from her employer to a specific local business.
Maria visits Bayside Coffee Shop, enjoys her gift—and discovers a local business she may not have tried before.
For Bayside Coffee Shop, that introduction is an opportunity.
Savortown can help bring a new customer through the door.
What happens next is up to the experience they provide.
The employer gives a more meaningful reward.
The employee enjoys a local experience.
And the merchant gets the opportunity to earn a new customer.
That's Savortown.
A better way to reward your people—and a new way to connect local businesses with the customers around them.

The three-sided model
Why Savortown works.
The employer brings the collective purchasing power of its workforce. The merchant gains an opportunity to earn new customers and can invest additional value through Promotional Gifts. The employee receives a meaningful local gift. Savortown connects them.
Enjoy a local experience
Receive a meaningful gift from your employer to a specific local business, and discover an experience worth returning for.
Acquire a nearby guest
A targeted introduction can bring employees from nearby workplaces to your business. You earn the relationship.
Full-Value Gifts: The employer pays the gift’s full value.
Promotional Gifts: The merchant provides additional gift value as an investment in earning new customers.
An illustrative journey
From an employer reward to a local relationship.
A Sarasota employer selects a participating local business and purchases its gift certificates to reward the team. Employees receive a gift certificate to that specific business. Merchants offering Promotional Gifts provide greater value today for the opportunity to earn those employees as tomorrow’s regular customers. A great first experience could become a long-term relationship.
Never market the merchant’s discount. Market the employer’s gift.

Founding Partners shape the pilot.
We are inviting a limited number of local merchants and employers to challenge the concept, share practical constraints and help determine whether a controlled pilot makes sense.
