A few days ago, I got an email from Elona, a Product Manager for GOLOKAL. She invited me over to their office to by Exchange Place to meet her team and hear their story. At first, I was reluctant to be honest because as someone from a tech background I know a lot about the business of apps and that it is a very competitive industry. As soon as I walked in and got the vibes of the office and their culture, I got a good feeling. I sat down with co-founder Oksana Sokolovsky and she told me all about their app.
This app is all about shopping local and supporting our local businesses. I love everything about it and I know it’s going to be a game changer for Jersey City business owners and consumers.
GOLOKAL was created to empower local businesses to directly connect to customers – moving real-time offers and inviting buyers for attractive in-store promotions. With GOLOKAL, businesses can create exclusive local deals and serve up fresh local content, ultimately motivating users to get out and explore their neighborhood. Deals are delivered directly to users’ mobile devices, and are instantly redeemable within a short window of time (4 hours or less), using geo-location technology. With GOLOKAL, all offers are free to consumers, and consumers redeem directly from businesses, so businesses keep 100% of the profits.
