New customers walking in the door without buying a single ad.
LakeOrion.VIP puts your business in front of residents who've already opted in to shop local. No hardware, no POS integration, no cost to join — you set the offer, we bring the customer.
You're not buying an audience. You're already standing in front of one.
LakeOrion.VIP sits on top of the Lake Orion Digital Network — the same residents already reading, following, and shopping through it. Joining VIP means showing up in front of people who are already local and already looking.
Zero acquisition cost
You're not paying to reach a cold audience. Members already opted in to support local business — you're just giving them a reason to pick you.
No new hardware
Staff scan with the phone they already have. No terminal to buy, no POS plugin, nothing to install at the counter.
You control the offer
Ten percent off, buy-one-get-one, a member price — you decide what you're comfortable giving, and you can change it any time.
Four steps. None of them slow down your line.
Set your offer
Log in, pick a discount type, save it. Takes less time than a POS software update.
Customer shows their card
It's already in their phone's wallet. They don't dig for a coupon or open an app.
Staff scans, taps confirm
One scan, one tap on your phone. No customer typing, no PIN, no separate device.
It's logged automatically
Redemption's recorded the moment staff confirms — nothing to reconcile by hand later.
Real numbers on what's working — not a guess.
Every confirmed redemption feeds a dashboard built for your business. You'll always see your own activity in plain terms; deeper cross-network insight is available as your business grows with the network.
Know what's actually bringing people in
Most local advertising gives you an impression count and a shrug. VIP gives you an actual redemption count, tied to a real visit, at your register.
- How many members redeemed your offer, and when — by day, by week, whatever you're trying to track.
- Which of your offers actually get used, so you're not guessing what to run next season.
- How many of your redeeming customers are active elsewhere in the network — a picture of shared local traffic no single-shop loyalty app can show you.
- Repeat-visit rate for your own business, so you know if VIP members are becoming regulars.
Free to join. Pay only if you want deeper insight.
Every business gets listed and starts collecting redemptions at no cost. The paid tier is for businesses who want to see how VIP traffic connects to the rest of their local marketing.

What owners usually ask first.
Does this replace my POS or require new hardware? +
No. Staff scan the member's wallet pass with any phone camera and tap to confirm. Nothing plugs into your register.
Can I run more than one offer? +
Starter includes one active offer. VIP Partner lets you run several at once — staff picks the right one at the confirm step, no customer input needed.
Do I see who's redeeming, by name? +
You see enough to run the redemption smoothly — a first name and what they're claiming. Full account-level data isn't shared beyond what's needed to honor the offer.
What does "members also shopping nearby" mean? +
Because VIP spans the whole network, VIP Partner accounts can see aggregate patterns — like how much crossover exists between your customers and other local businesses. It's never tied to a single member's identity in your dashboard, just the overall trend.
Is there a contract? +
No lock-in. Starter is free indefinitely, and VIP Partner is month to month.
