Last Year, we celebrated Think Local’s first birthday and, according to both users and advertisers, it has laid the foundations for rich rewards for both local businesses and consumers.

When we relaunched the website, our vision was clear – to turn locals into loyal customers. According to our advertisers and online users alike, Think Local has already realised the goal.

In that one year, we saw:

  • Number of local businesses promoting their content on Think Local increase by 107%
  • Online transactions increase by 178%
  • Monthly transaction value increase by over 200% (compared to the same month in the previous year)

As we do not take any commission on the sales generated through Think Local, that’s twice the revenue going straight into our advertisers’ bank accounts. In one case, an advertiser attracted over 300 customers in two months, which saw a 6,000% return on their two-month advertising spend.

How Do Our Users Rate Us?
Last month, our online users completed a user survey and here are some of the results:

  • 81% of users have referred the local business to at least one friend or family member
  • 90% of users have (or intend to) return to the local business to pay full price
  • 70% of the users rated their Think Local experience between 8/10 and 10/10
  • 89% rated their experience with the local business as ‘Excellent’ or ‘Very Good’
  • 70% of users visit Think Local at least once a week
