A Program Built Around Your Community
Your community doesn't have to fit Bloom. Bloom fits your community.
We customize every Bloom program around the goals, businesses, consumers, and resources of the community we work with. Some organizations have economic development budgets they want to put to work. Others — such as chambers and smaller community organizations — may have little or no budget available. That's okay. We can structure the program differently depending on what makes sense for your community and for Bloom.
The goal is simple:
Create more value for local businesses.
Give consumers a reason to shop locally.
Help your community measure the impact.
Build a program that can sustain itself and grow.

Questions? Answered.
Everything you need to know about bringing Bloom to your community.
How much does it cost our community?
That depends on the community and the program we build together. Some organizations may choose to invest directly in Bloom as part of their economic development or tourism initiatives. Others may prefer a model supported primarily through participating businesses and consumer rewards. We'll customize the structure around what makes sense for your organization and your community.
Do we need our entire team on the first call?
No. Start with a quick conversation with whoever is interested in exploring Bloom. If it looks promising, we'll schedule a longer follow-up with the appropriate decision-makers and stakeholders.
What does the first conversation cover?
It's simple. We'll learn a little about your community, explain how Bloom works, and discuss what a program could look like for you. No preparation or presentation is required.
What happens after the first call?
If there's interest, we'll bring the right people together for a deeper conversation. We'll discuss your goals, businesses, budget or funding opportunities, program structure, and next steps.
How do we onboard businesses?
Bloom makes it simple. You invite businesses through the platform, they register, and our team handles the technical setup. You can track their progress from invitation through launch.
What data do we get access to?
Your dashboard shows economic impact metrics, spending trends, category breakdowns, business participation, and growth over time. Reports can also be used for stakeholders, boards, economic development initiatives, and grant applications.
Can we customize the program?
Absolutely. That's one of the most important parts of Bloom. We customize the program around your community's goals, businesses, resources, and opportunities.
