Why StreetShops Matters

How local shops benefit from being online

Many local shops are only visible to people who already know where they are. StreetShops gives them a premium digital presence and makes it easier for nearby customers to support them.

The long-term opportunity is larger than one street: a repeatable marketplace model that can digitise local business ecosystems street by street, suburb by suburb, and city by city.
