January 30, 2025

Rewarding a Local Ecosystem

The Localight App unites independent businesses in one mobile rewards wallet. Customers can earn points and unlock offers while shifting their spending to be local.

The Localight Ecosystem

  • Boosting Local Commerce: The Localight app is embedded with an Ansa-powered rewards wallet which encourages customers to shop at local small businesses.
  • Community-Funded Growth: Community anchors such as a city or local bank fund rewards that can be spent at local businesses.
  • Customers Spend & Earn: Customers earn LocalCash™ (cash back rewards) for shopping locally.
  • Merchants Benefit: Spotlight businesses gain brand recognition, higher revenue, and loyal customers.
  • Sustainable Rewards: Businesses reinvest LocalCash™ earnings to fund future incentives, kicking off the flywheel to reinvigorate Main Street businesses.

Kickoff the Flywheel of Spend

Ansa’s platform powers a mobile rewards wallet that enhances shopping activity, organically grows brand awareness for Main Street businesses, enables effortless transactions, and keeps funds circulating to drive additional value for local downtowns.

What impressed me most about Ansa is how seamlessly their closed-loop wallet aligned with our goals at Localight—merchants thrive, shoppers earn rewards, and we barely broke a sweat getting it going.

— DW Ferrell, CEO Localight
