Buy Now, Get Later encourages those financially stable in COVID to pay ahead for the services they love but can't get while in lockdown. Need a haircut?
Want a massage? Call up your local business and ask to buy a gift card for your future self. Buy Now, Get Later is a good-will based movement aiming to help get cash into the pockets of small business owners that are financially impacted by COVID lockdowns. We do not want any cut of any transactions, we simply want to encourage people to help each other. We have some guidelines to help:
Buyer Gu
ide
(think of it as buying a gift card for yourself to use in the future)
- shop local. Ideally, you will know the business owner who you are directly helping
- make sure you get a certificate or credit statement for your transaction
- like and share the Buy Now, Get Later page to encourage your friends to follow your lead! Vendor Guide
(think of it as selling a gift card: get the money today, but provide the service later):
- provide each customer with a standard credit or certificate for them to use to redeem the purchase. If you have an existing gift card system, that works perfectly
- provide a COVID-safe payment method (bank transfer, BPAY, etc) so that customers can 'shop' from home
- like and share the Buy Now, Get Later page with your existing clients to let them know you are open to help! We all know can be difficult to ask for help!
