A Greater Wave program
Greater Perks
Giving local businesses marketing services, promotional exposure, and a source of incentivized customers through a free perk card program.
What it is
Reward local residents and visitors while increasing your visibility.
Greater Wave has developed an efficient and effective system for businesses to stand out in their local markets. Our Greater Perks brand operates a portfolio of local cardholder membership programs that connect small businesses with community members in their areas.
Community members in each market (Michigan, Chicago, Ohio, and more) get a perk card. Cardholders can then use select perks, such as discounts and deals, from the local businesses enrolled as partners in the program.
How it works
For businesses
Become a partner
Businesses enroll for free in their local Greater Perks program. Enrollment includes a featured perk on the program’s perk card and a package of free promotions on the program’s local outlet.
Choose a perk
Offer a special deal or discount for cardholders to use when visiting. You have total control over what your perk is and how it’s redeemed.
Receive promotions
All enrolled partners get promotions that showcase their business and its perk. Our team plans, designs, and posts these with little to no extra effort from you.
Incentivize customers
Our team dedicates time and resources to marketing and selling these local perk cards. As the number of cardholders grows, so does the number of community members with a reason to visit you.
How it works
For community members
Get a perk card
When a Greater Perks program launches in a market, area residents and visitors can purchase a perk card at greaterperks.com to start receiving perks from enrolled local businesses.
Browse the perk directory
Each perk card has its own online directory of active perks, with filtering and search so cardholders can easily discover the local businesses they’re looking for.
Show the card, get the perk
When visiting a business enrolled in their local program, cardholders show their card to receive its exclusive perk.
Check out greaterperks.com for a live look at how community members get cards, browse the perk directory, and discover your business.
Greater Perks FAQ
Common questions from businesses.
Can my business limit how the perk is used?
Definitely. Each business sets its own parameters for how its perk may be used. For example, the perk may not be combined with other offers, may only qualify for certain purchase amounts, or may only be available on certain days of the week.
Do perk card sales impact my business or our partnership?
No. Businesses enrolled in a Greater Perks program receive their benefits and promotional package for free, regardless of card sales.
What if cardholders use the perk too much?
A good perk still allows for profitability. For example, a 10% discount incentivizes loyalty while the business still makes money on the transaction, so heavy use should make a business money, not lose it. If it ever becomes an issue, we can change the perk mid-partnership.
How do staff know a card is valid?
Cardholders are told the card must be presented when using your perk. We suggest having staff check for the card and that it is currently active before applying the perk.
