Jisp, the home delivery and click-and-collect app, has partnered with social media management platform Maybe* to “maximise the social support” it provides to retailers.

Retailers will be able to take advantage of free monthly webinars, getting the latest tips on best practice, tools, and social media engagement to boost sales and customer loyalty.

In addition, Maybe* – which forms part of the UK government’s High Street Task Force – will be integrating Jisp as its recommended solution and will offer the app as form of payment via its local rewards programme when customers shop in-store. In return, Jisp will be providing Maybe* customers with 12-month free click-and-collect and home delivery, providing a saving of more than £400.

Greg Deacon, chief commercial officer of Jisp, said: “We are always on the lookout for brilliant companies to provide more value for independent businesses, and Maybe* is a perfect partner to boost our social media support on a local level.

“Jisp puts retailers at the heart of every single solution, and our top priority is to ensure small businesses continue thriving in their local communities through our best-in-class services. Maybe* has some fantastic clients not only in the convenience sector, but in hospitality and fashion too, so we look forward to a full-scale launch with them in the coming weeks.”

Polly Barnfield, chief executive of Maybe* Tech, added: “We’re delighted to be working with Jisp to help their retailers use social media. Today across the UK only 28% of independent retailers are active on social media, which put those that are not at risk when you consider that 66% of consumers spend three hours per day using social media. We look forward to providing tools and training to Jisp retailers.”

Maybe* launched social media tools for retailers in partnership with the Association of Convenience Stores in February 2020.
