How to appear in Bira’s Local Rewards Independent Retailers Guide
As a Bira member, your active presence on social media comes with exciting benefits. Through our partnership with Maybe*, your social media content automatically gets featured in our Local Rewards guide.
This Local Rewards guide showcases all the engaging content our members publish on Instagram, providing a platform to promote your business to the wider public.
However, that's not all - these guides are available for every town in the UK, and we share them with every Business Improvement District (BID) across the country. This means your content becomes part of a valuable resource that BIDs use to promote their town centres. It's a win-win situation where your social media efforts contribute to both your own business growth and the overall promotion of vibrant town centres.
At Bira, we are dedicated to supporting your social media journey. By signing up for Maybe* now, you'll receive expert guidance on managing and improving your listing on the Local Rewards guide. As you consistently post on social media, you'll witness firsthand how Maybe* empowers you to leverage the Local Rewards platform, allowing you to build your audience and expand your local reach through a hassle-free loyalty program.
