Press Release
LivePerson launches new gift card marketplace to help small businesses weather the coronavirus storm
With social distancing becoming the new normal and people around the world doing their best to keep their neighbors safe from COVID-19 by staying at home, small businesses that rely on foot traffic are struggling to pay their bills and their employees. Without their customers' help, millions of barbershops, salons, yoga studios, restaurants, dry cleaners, coffee shops, and boutiques may not survive.
HelpOthers.io helps make a difference by allowing any small business to easily take secure payments from the customers who love them. Businesses that sign-up at HelpOthers.io can create listings to allow customers to find them and purchase digital gift cards, with no need to mail physical cards or documentation.
HelpOthers.io is assisted by "Nicholas," an AI-powered messaging bot named for the patron saint of merchants that makes connecting businesses and consumers as easy as texting family and friends. Just text "HelpOthers" to 78129, and Nicholas will guide you through finding businesses and prebuying goods and services.
In support of HelpOthers.io's mission, LivePerson has pledged
"We know it's time to step up to support our local businesses, and we hope you'll join us to provide a lifeline when they need it most," said
"HelpOthers.io was there when we needed them, and we will be forever grateful," said
Small business owners can register now for the marketplace at HelpOthers.io, and consumers can nominate their favorite local businesses to join by texting "HelpOthers" to 78219.
