The scale of a chain, without joining one.
A national chain's real advantage was never its app or its ad budget. It's that four hundred locations send each other customers. Connected Growth is how independent businesses can gain that advantage and stay independent.
Both take you to the three products available today. Connected Growth isn't part of them.
- In development
- Where Connected Growth is today
- No launch date
- When you'll be able to use it
- Not sold, not priced
- What it costs you right now
How it will work.
Two businesses a few doors apart, each with a list of regulars the other has never met. Today there is no way for them to trade. That is the entire idea.
- You send them a customer.A regular of yours gets an offer from the salon two doors down. They see it inside the app already on their phone.
- They send you one back.Their regulars see yours. The platform records who sent whom, so the credit is a number rather than a handshake.
Neither business gives anything up. You are not competing for the same customer. You are introducing each other to the regulars you already have.
Four things it's being built to do.
None of these are live. This is the shape of the capability, written down so you can judge whether it's worth waiting for.
Cross-business referrals
Send a customer to the business next door and get one back, with the platform tracking both sides so the exchange stays even.
Shared rewards
Points earned at one LamGig business can be spent at another. That makes the loyalty programme useful beyond a single shop.
Joint promotions
Run an offer with the businesses around you: a neighbourhood campaign none of you could afford to put out alone.
Local partnerships
Find the businesses nearby whose customers look like yours, and agree terms inside the platform instead of over coffee.
It doesn't exist yet. Here's the honest version.
LamGig is new. A referral network is worth exactly as much as the businesses in it, and right now there are none. There is nothing here we could sell you or show you working.
We would rather write that down than put a number on a slide.
What we can tell you is where it comes from. Connected Growth runs on the customer data your three products are already collecting, which is why the order matters: the website, the orders and the customer list come first. The network is what they add up to.
- It is not priced, and it is not part of what you pay today.
- We are not taking a waitlist or a deposit for it.
- Nothing on this site counts it among the products you get.
