Do you own a small local business but feel like you should give up? Have you been struggling to keep such a company on the floating line, over the last few years? It’s of no surprise, knowing that due to globalisation and recent economic changes, our everyday life and our economies have transformed tremendously - in doing so, big corporations had to win while a vast number of local businesses had to shut down. It seems it’s harder than ever to generate sales, to boost online visibility, promote a new brand or reach a target market without enormous budgets! 

Can blockchain address these three major problems that seem to affect local businesses from almost all around the world? We’ll try to answer this question, in today’s short article. 

Let’s start by looking at the top three issues that seem to stop local companies from thriving:

* Large businesses can afford advertising and marketing campaigns that target local businesses target groups, while the later are having a hard time to keep up - mainly because of the lack of know-how and lack of resources
* Loyalty programs cannot offer results, as more and more loyalty points remain unused, all around the world. Is there another way to reward customers for their loyalty?
* Local businesses find it hard to create and maintain a digital identity and can rarely create content that is appealing to its customers or can attract new consumers.

**Introducing Flipnpik** - an innovative blockchain based social platform that changes all known paradigms, by creating a new environment, where local businesses and members work together, to improve the local economy and promote sustainable consumption within the respective community. Flipnpik is more than a social media app, due to the complex ecosystem it creates and the benefits it can offer its participants: a better online visibility; the ability to get to specific targets (inside the market); the creation of a platform optimized for sharing quality local content; the fast development of brand ambassadors; multiple options to promote brands. 

**Understanding the Flipnpik ecosystem** - a unique environment that encourages people of all ages to share valuable content that they create. While using the Flipnpik mobile app, being active, interacting with businesses, other individuals and promoting the products and services they like, people will be rewarded through a unique mechanism called Flip Social (FS). This will grant users the opportunity to transform them into Flipnpik tokens (FNP - these coins (or utility tokens, as the name suggests) will prove to be a great incentive for individuals to buy products and services that are available and promoted inside this network. 

Businesses will gain visibility if they play their cards right.

Partners ambassadors will also be part of this ecosystem - these individuals, by using their influence, will have the chance to directly promote the businesses they like, making more popular amongst its local consumers. In doing so, they will be provided with access to a series of premium services, custom created for their needs.
