Klosebuy is Here to Help with a Free Marketing App
Due to the impact of COVID-19 on restaurants, hospitality and retail Klosebuy and CSI have teamed up to offer a self-managed account for 12 months with no charge.
Klosebuy provides a digital app for consumers to see what businesses are open, providing essentials, has availability of products/services, and the type of delivery or pick up service available from the safety of their home. They know the importance of being connected with customers and keeping them informed during the pandemic.
Using a simple web portal, business owners can provide the above information as well as:
- Current Hours of Operation
- Any Capacity Issues or Changes
- Details on ordering including Specials
- How Pick up is Provided
- And so much more…
For businesses that are temporarily closed, this app can support their re-opening once State and Federal directives are lifted. With one click, a business owner can make their location “visible” on the app for their customers and those in their community to see. A “push” message can be scheduled to tell all “we’re back open for business!”
Their mission is to help businesses connect with customers in their local markets. They want to make sure all industries impacted by the virus have access to this simple to use technology.

Marketing Tips for 2020
Have you started a marketing plan for 2020 yet? Valentine’s Day is already upon us. Why not start with this simple blueprint for success every holiday and special occasion. Each year you will look polished by taking it to the next level. We can help you make all these ideas flow together with one easy-to-use system.
Decorate Your Website, Social Media Sites and Physical Location
Decorate your website, social media, or storefront to draw attention to your business during the holidays and special occasions. It doesn’t take much effort to add a banner, adjust your store window design, or incorporate festive packaging into your sales. Small acts of festivity will make your customers feel they are acting on a time-limited opportunity.
Create a Holiday-Focused Marketing Campaign
Using videos or holiday-themed campaigns can be extremely useful and should not be overlooked during the season. Thanks to modern technology, creating a short video or online poster can be done in no time.
Stock up on Gift Cards and Place Visual Everywhere
Gift card sales in the United States were approximately $160 billion in 2018, and sales continue to increase every year. It’s essential to stock up on gift cards and make them available at your customer’s reach.
Invest in a New Point of Sale System or update your old one
According to the National Retail Federation, Holiday sales during 2019 were expected to increase between 3.8% and 4.2% over 2018. Overall, holiday sales represent approximately 20% of annual sales per year, which means that if you don’t know what your percentages are, its time you invested in a POS System! A Point of Sale System not only tracks your sales, inventory, and employees but also gives you a complete ordering history to make future purchases faster and more intuitive.
Give a Holiday Gift with every order
A great way to inspire customer loyalty is to offer a gift with each purchase. This can be something as small as a coupon, information, product, or even a token of your company. The idea is to make your customers feel included in the celebration.
Offer a Sale
An easy and smart way to encourage company growth is through holiday sales. Days such as Cyber Monday are great opportunities for companies to increase profit through sales. All you need to do is plan what you will put on sale before the holiday is upon us and start doing some Digital Marketing or even some print mailers. Some companies also go the extra mile and offer presales to exclusive club members. Yet another perfect reason to use a POS System to capture valuable customer information. These kinds of loyalty perks inspire potential customers to invest in your company and keep customers coming back for more.
Remember we don’t plan, to fail we fail to plan!
