the downtown app your MAIN STREET's been waiting for
All your city’s events, businesses, products & sales in a single Pinterest- and Instagram-inspired app
Our new release is here!
How it works
MAIN&ME showcases photo galleries of products, sales & events from all your Main Street businesses in a single Pinterest-like app. With everything in one place, the app attracts more visitors to your Main Street than any one business or Facebook page could on its own. You provide the photos and information. We provide the free app and a nationwide network of shoppers & tourists already using Main&Me.
Benefits For Your City
“Every time a photo is shared, or a new product photo and description are added to Main&Me, the visibility of local products, sales and events is enhanced. The more activity on Main&Me, the more authentic the search algorithms will judge the data to be, and the higher the locally-owned business information on Main&Me will be ranked in everyday online searches.”
“Why “free?” Because if you buy it and your merchants don’t support it, we’ll both have egg on our face. But if you start using it for free, and people see the value and love it, you’ll be a hero. When you’re ready, we charge “market rates” for the notifications (ads) your merchants may wish to push out to users, and for dedicated sponsor pages you can market to your community bank and other local benefactors (so they’ll be heroes, too).”
“By acting together on a nationwide scale, Main&Me cities increase the chances that future shoppers across the country will become aware of local sources for the things they need before defaulting to Amazon. In time, the perceived advantages of shopping locally—immediate availability, ability to try on things in real-time, face-to-face customer service, keeping jobs & money circulating longer in your community—will multiply and bring new generations of shoppers back to Main Street.”
