Dashible

Dashible connects and builds long-lasting relationships between consumers and local retailers through an integrated deals and loyalty platform.

Introduction

Dashible helps consumers find deals, discounts and promotions at local businesses in New York and New Jersey (expanding nationally in 2021) and provides businesses with the opportunity to reach new customers, create customer loyalty and increase revenue.

Why You Should Invest

  • Deals have proven to be one of the best ways to get new customers in the door. But, if they only come once, what is the real benefit? Existing loyalty programs focus on customers that businesses already have. Deals and loyalty should be symbiotic for maximum effectiveness.
  • Dashible integrates deals and loyalty in a single SaaS platform to help businesses find new customers and keep them coming back. We are building out our artificial intelligence to make the platform predictive and present customers with deals and loyalty programs that they are likely to actually desire. We offer easy and fun-to-use apps for both local retailers and consumers.

Problem

Local retailers have a difficult time finding new customers on a limited budget and keeping existing customers long term. Businesses are forced to use several different tools that don’t work together, are often too expensive, are 100% manual and don’t collect the valuable data that the business needs. To promote deals/promotions many of these businesses use tools like daily deal platforms that force a deep-discount, are extremely expensive due to revenue sharing and typically only attract one-time customers and posting to social media which is only seen by people that already follow them. For loyalty, they revert to manual tools like printing paper loyalty cards that customers lose or using expensive loyalty platforms that require another device on the counter or programs that require integration with their point of sale system that may not capture customers that pay in cash. We are continuing to build a platform that enables business to interact with and get a better understanding of customers through data and artificial intelligence throughout the entire customer lifecycle.

Problem

Historically, deals have been used to attract new customers who tend to not return, while loyalty programs have been used to keep existing customers coming back.

Solution

We plan to start by helping businesses attract new customers via deals, promotions and digital loyalty cards. This way, businesses can optimize the lifetime value of their customers by offering increasingly valuable rewards determined by the business.

Solution

Through our 100% digital platform, we put the control in the hands of the business owners. Dashible makes it easy and affordable to create custom deals that work for their specific business needs, whenever they want to. Our app allows our business owners to interact with customers even when they are not in the store. Deals can be created instantly to allow businesses to react to current happenings in their area.

We have built a unique digital loyalty offering that works with our deal service allowing businesses to create custom loyalty programs and provide incentives (deals) for customers to make repeat visits. They can provide increasing valuable rewards for their best customers.

One of the most powerful things about Dashible is that all our services work together to help businesses increase revenue while saving time and money and collecting valuable data about their customers’ behaviors.

Of course, we also provide value for the customers. We have developed a fun and engaging app that allows customers to easily find new deals and loyalty programs in their area by swiping right for deals they like and left on deals they don’t. This gives us more information about their interests. There will be no more need to search through lists of businesses. Dashible will do that for you.

    Hello everyone, Artificial Intelligence (AI)...

    Hello everyone, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a game-changer, transforming the way we interact with technology and will reshape business in society in ways that no one will be able to completely predict. We have been busy over the last several months gaining an understanding of all the new Artificial intelligence (AI) technology and tools being introduced. We believe that AI must be included as we continue to build Dashible and our other brands. We were recently accepted into the Google for Startups Cloud Program! This program gives us substantial credits to use for Google Cloud services and we also have a “Success Team” at Google. This will definitely help us build the AI tools for local businesses that we have been envisioning.

    We currently are operating under two brand names: Dashible - Marketing and loyalty for local businesses. https://www.dashible.com DashTechs - Technical staffing and software development. https://www.dashtechs.com

    March 2023 Update (2/4) - What to Expect in 2023

    This year, Dashible is working on finding even more ways to support and provide value to our local businesses, consumers, and communities. In a city with around 110 universities and colleges, targeting the NYC student community is a lucrative strategy for local businesses to grow their customer base. By offering special student discounts and perks, they can build a loyal customer base that is likely to continue patronizing their business even after graduation.

    With many establishments already offering student deals, we are happy to announce a new student feature that will launch soon on our app. Similar to our happy hour feature, this new filter feature will help Dashible users find their nearest student deals. To make our loyalty/rewards program even simpler, users can now also earn loyalty stars without the app. All they need to do is scan the loyalty QR code and enter the phone number that they’ll use when signing up for the app.

    March 2023 Update (1/4) - 2022 in Review

    2022 was definitely a year of collaboration and engagement for Dashible. Throughout the year, we held various events with our New York City merchants, such as Brooklyn Baklava, Squarrel Cafe, Stiletto Goddess, and Brooklyn Brows. Along with promoting the Dashible brand and acquiring more users on the app, these events also helped drive more customer traffic to the merchants. As part of Black Business Month in August, we also collaborated with Green Book Global and EatOkra in a special campaign to highlight and amplify 7 Black-owned Harlem restaurants. On behalf of these two other amazing black tech founders, we are pleased to share that our campaign was featured by NYCgo in September 2022 as well as by the 1010 WINS All News 92.3 radio station to welcome Black History Month in late January 2023.

    Since last summer there has been a marked increase in consumers looking for black-owned businesses. Dashible is happy to announce a new feature in the Dashible consumer app for iOS. You can now search for black-owned businesses that are offering Dashible Deals. Businesses have the choice to label themselves as black-owned when signing up for Dashible. The label also acts as a search attribute, making it easier for Dashible users to find black-owned businesses.
