Walkbuy is continuing to immerse itself in Kiama’s retail scene, bringing local businesses and shoppers together as its main purpose – and now, there’s even more reason to get involved.
Since launching this month, Walkbuy has received excellent support from the Kiama business community, with more than 40 local retailers, cafes, creatives, and service providers jumping on board.
These include favourites like Kai Lunar, The Coffee Emporium, Cin Cin Wine Bar, Zink Surf, The Collective Beat, Burnetts on Barney, Felicity Gardner Illustrations, the Sea and Beau, KG cafe, Mermaid&Me Boutique, Barber Industries Kiama, to name a few.
Using the app is simple – receive real-time notifications (called “Pulses”) from these local businesses as you Walkbuy and discover new arrivals, special offers, or what’s fresh out of the oven.
Whether you're after boutique fashion, great coffee, handmade goods, or weekend plans, Walkbuy helps you shop around the corner, and be part of the community.
And here’s the kicker: every time you activate a Pulse in September, you’ll automatically go into the draw to win $500 cash.
No strings attached – just shop local, explore what Kiama businesses are offering, and you could be $500 richer by the end of the month.
“The response from the community has been incredible,” says Walkbuy founder Peter Walsh.
“Every weekend we’re out on the streets chatting to locals and businesses, and the feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.
“People love how easy it is to use, and they’re genuinely excited to discover and support local shops in a new way. We are also learning ways to improve, which is priceless.”
Walkbuy is free to download and for Kiama businesses, 12-month free trials are automatically activated when signing up!
