City of Akron Press Release
From the desk of City of Akron Press Office
Published: 11-22-2022
Akron, Ohio, Nov. 22, 2022 — In 2020, Akron launched the Akronite app to increase civic and community engagement, raise up woman- and minority-owned businesses, and help residents connect with local retailers. Since the launch, more than 8,000 users and over 300 local businesses have participated in the points-based rewards system for spending dollars locally. The app has also generated over $2.55M of local economic impact.
The app gives retailers marketing tools to connect them with residents while incentivizing Akronites to shop locally by rewarding them with specialized blimps that are redeemable at participating Akron businesses. To learn more about Akronite, check out this video produced by Pritt Entertainment Group.
