Why Local Blast Is the Only Real-Time Marketing Tool Your Local Business Will Ever Need

Stop Chasing Clicks. Start Creating Foot Traffic.

Local Blast isn't another "marketing tool." It's a local foot-traffic machine built for brick-and-mortar businesses—by local business people who are sick of being screwed by big tech.


If you're tired of burning money on Google Ads, fighting Instagram algorithms, or giving Groupon half your damn revenue for every deal, this post is your wake-up call.


Local Blast is your real-time marketing advantage—and your unfair weapon for 10x-ing in-person traffic without approvals, ad spend, or algorithm nonsense.


Here’s How It Works (In Plain English)

1. You Create a Real-Time Deal
Inside your dashboard, you set up a deal or offer. Pick how many vouchers people can claim, how long it lasts, and how far it reaches (2 or 5 miles).


2. You Blast It Out
With one click, your offer hits every Local Blast user near your business who’s interested in your category (restaurant, fitness, salon, event, etc).


3. Customers Claim & Show Up
They see it, they claim it, they show up. You redeem it at the counter—no revenue share, no codes, no tracking pixels. Just walk-ins that convert.


4. Didn’t Redeem? You Get It Back
If someone claims a voucher but doesn’t redeem it in 24 hours, it returns to your inventory. Use it again. You're always in control.


Why Local Blast Works (When Ads Don’t)

No Algorithm: Every blast is direct. No paid reach. No shadow banning. No weird delays. Just straight to people nearby.

No Middleman: You keep 100% of the revenue. No platform cuts.

No Waiting: Want to fill your 3pm-5pm lull today? Blast it right now.

No Tech Nonsense: Designed for real owners, not marketing nerds.

Side-by-side comparison chart of Groupon vs. Local Blast features, showing that Local Blast offers $0 revenue share, no approval process, real-time control, a 2–5 mile local reach radius, powerful analytics, and a flat $99/month early access pricing — while Groupon charges up to 50% revenue share with limited control and basic tools.

5 Real Examples of Businesses Using Local Blast

1. Restaurants: "Launched a lunch-only BOGO wrap deal at 11am, had 12 redemptions before 1pm. Never touched Google Ads again."

2. Barbershops: "Filled slow days. Friday mornings are now fully booked by noon. The 24-hour voucher creates urgency."

3. Fitness Studios: "Used to pay $800/month for Meta ads. Local Blast gave us 3x the walk-ins for a fraction of the cost."

4. Nail Salons: "Pre-loaded 30 campaigns. My team doesn’t touch it. Blasts run daily."

5. Local Events: "Sold out 80 tickets in 6 hours. People claimed & showed up. No ads."


Here’s Why This Is the Beginning of the End for Groupon

Groupon is at its lowest point in over 10 years. Why?

  • Merchants are burned out on revenue-split models.
  • Customers are annoyed by spammy deals and complicated redemption.
  • It’s not built for today’s attention span or smartphone behavior.
  • Local Blast is a complete reimagining. Scarcity, urgency, local-first. It's built for the NOW.
