Chorley is going to be one of the launch towns for an innovative regeneration campaign to attract more visitors into the town and support independent retailers.

Chorley has been identified by TikTap as an ideal town to launch its new innovative mobile technology to proactively increase footfall in Preston, Chorley and Leyland by introducing a local offer and voucher incentive scheme.

Utilising mobile technology supplied by TikTap, which has been developed by the company behind Orange Wednesdays, local retailers in the town centre will be able to provide shoppers with instant offers and exclusive promotions redeemable in store via their mobile phones.

The TikTap technology is enabled via a unique pod, which is plugged into a retailer’s EPOS electronic till system. Consumers download the TikTap app, which stores details of all live offers in the area – users ‘Tik’ the ones that appeal.  When they are in the shop, they simply tap their mobile phones over the pod to redeem the offer, bridging the gap between online, mobile and High Street shopping.

This new initiative aims to be a major part of the strategy to maintain buoyancy in Chorley with only 6.4% of shops currently empty, compared to a national average of 14% TikTap will help Chorley continue to buck the trend experienced by the rest of the UK whose high streets are suffering due to the difficult economic climate and the increase in online and mobile shopping at the expense of bricks-and-mortar retail stores. Neale Graham CEO of 2ergo outlined “TikTap™ puts the power of mobile marketing in the hands of the retailer, allowing them to initiate coupon based campaigns within minutes. TikTap’s™ unique service delivers a highly targeted local audience and user-friendly technology to deploy, track and, crucially, measure those campaigns.”

TikTap will help small retailers with lower marketing budgets market themselves to a wider audience, as well as larger businesses who already promote traditional offers via bonus card schemes, print vouchers and other more traditional communication channels like direct mailings. It harnesses the use of smartphones, which people carry with them all the time, enabling more effective, targeted offers tailored to new and existing customers,

Malcolm Allen of Chorley Traders Association has been briefed on TikTap and comments:

“It promises to be a really exciting innovation, in fact, just what the High Street needs currently.  It’s great news that Chorley will be one of the key launch Towns for this innovation and it could be of real benefit to local shops.  I wish it every success.”

Norcash, who are one of the North Wests leading till/EPOS resellers see TikTap as “one of the most innovative and exciting things to happen for the High Street for many years,” said Stephen Bateman, Managing Director, Norcash. “At last, a method of revitalising our town and city centres that is workable and accessible to even the smallest enterprise.”

The support by Chorley is a fantastic example of how towns are proactively taking the initiative to bring their High Street back to life and get them back to their thriving glory. “We’re thrilled to support this ambition for regeneration with the implementation of TikTap, which will enable local retailers to provide compelling, enticing offers with measurable results all via a simple, smartphone app,” said Michael Dougherty from TikTap.

Preston has launched an innovative regeneration campaign to attract more visitors into the town and support independent retailers.

This new initiative which will be launched to businesses next week and consumers at the end of June aims to be a major part of the strategy to reverse decline in Preston with more than 13.6% of shops currently empty, compared to a national average of 9.8%, partially due to the difficult economic climate and the increase in online and mobile shopping at the expense of bricks-and-mortar retail stores.
