Introduction
Since conception, our mission at bubltown has been to empower local, independent businesses to thrive in an increasingly digital and convenience-led world.
Everything, from our core Lcommerce platform to our augmenting sales, marketing and support operation; has been built with that mission in mind.
We have gained many great partners along the way, and one of the groups we have recognised a particularly close alignment in objectives is Councils.
Having worked alongside some of the brightest minds in the Public Sector, we have come to understand that by working together – we all stand to achieve far more of our priorities than we could hope to achieve alone, such as:
- Supporting local, independent businesses growth
- Increasing local footfall and spend
- Adding value to visitor economies
- Facilitating digital customer inclusion & transformation
- Increasing the reach of civic engagement tools
- Amplifying opportunities for inward investment
- Promoting cleaner, greener, living spaces
- Harnessing valuable data to be used in better decisions
- Creating new direct and indirect income opportunities
But this document is not about bubltown, nor our mission. It is about you and the key opportunities that we see for you to deliver your priorities, at a time when Council resources are stretched like never before. I sincerely hope you find it useful.
