The South Shore Digest Local Card

An invitation, not an ad

I'm Tony from South Shore Digest, the weekly local guide that lands in about 425 South Shore inboxes every Thursday morning. I'm building The South Shore Digest Local Card, a curated set of local spots I'd send a neighbor to, carried by our readers on their phones. I'd like yours to be one of them.

This is not an ad I'm selling you. It costs you nothing. You give one deal, good one time per cardholder, and you join a curated group of local spots our readers carry all season.

We're assembling the founding group now. The card is digital, carried on the reader's phone, and it runs as a dated seasonal edition. It launches once the founding spots are locked, and I confirm your offer with you in writing right before we go live.

Why there's zero risk

• No fee. No contract. You never pay South Shore Digest a cent.
• One deal, one time per cardholder. A free item, 20% off, $10 off a check, whatever fits. Each reader can use it once, then it grays out for good.
• You put the limits on it. Blackout dates, dine-in only, excludes alcohol, valid days and hours, whatever you need.

The only thing it costs you is one discounted visit from a new local customer, which is the cheapest way you'll ever win a regular.

How it works at the counter

A reader opens their card and shows you a code. You scan it with any phone camera, tap one Redeem button, and apply the deal. It only works once per reader, so there's nothing to track on your end and no app to install.

What you get

• New local customers from a small, loyal, hyperlocal audience that reads us specifically to decide where to go this week.
• Your name on the card and in the launch announcement to all our readers, plus a social post tagging you so it reaches your followers too.
• An Instagram Collab announcement. Every new spot gets announced as a Collab post, on your profile and ours at once, in front of both audiences. The more spots join, the more of each other's followers everyone reaches.
• A real local relationship with the guide your customers already read.

That's about 230 neighbors opening it every Thursday by choice, roughly double the average for local email. Readers who already trust where we point them are worth more than thousands of strangers who scroll past an ad.
