With a Premium Profile on Local Food Loop, you will stand out as a place that is serious about the quality, origin and local flavour of your food.
Make your profile gorgeous with your own images. Share your inspiring story. Add your logo. Include all your social media links. Create offers for customers in your area. Make announcements about whatever you like. Show everyone exactly which local products you sell. Manage all this from your own secure control panel in your favourite browser. In short, get noticed, curate loyal customers and sell more.
Go Premium to strengthen your brand, and connect with customers who are already trying to find you.

Stand out with pictures that tell a thousand words. Change them whenever you want to. Connect with your customers by sharing your story - people want to know their farmer, their butcher, their baker, even if they never meet them in person.
Your Premium Profile lets you tell your story to create that connection with an extended description of your place, as well as a whole screen devoted to your inspiring story. Your extended description and story images will also appear on your map pop-up.
Have your berries just come into season? Do you want to create a limited time offer or special deal? Has your farm-gate just re-opened for spring? Or maybe you’ve just put a great new local beer on tap? From your Profile Manager, you can quickly create offers and announcements and they’ll instantly appear on your screen inside the app, visible to every user who checks you out.
Users simply redeem the offer by showing it to you on the app when they visit your place. (We're currently working on creating offers that will self-destruct if you're keen on single use discounts.)
You probably spend time carefully crafting more than just food. Your personality comes through on social media, so it makes sense to introduce customers to your facebook, twitter and instagram feeds, doesn’t it? App users can connect with our Premium members on any or all of these channels with hotlinks that jump from the app directly to your feeds.
We’re all about community, as nothing says ‘connected’ like a bunch of likes, follows & regrams.
What makes Local Food Loop especially awesome is the way it shows customers exactly where their food comes from. That’s what everyone wants to know. If you sell food, you can add unlimited local products to your profile, showing the origin of what’s available right now. If you grow or make food or drink, your Profile Manager will give you total control over where your products are shown. We know that’s important, especially if you supply seasonally, or you’d prefer that your product was no longer associated with a particular retailer.
And of course, if you sell your own food or drink at your own place, you’ll be able to highlight it there and proudly show off your zero food miles badge!
Getting listed with a Premium Profile costs as little per week as a good locally roasted coffee.
But it does so much more for you. Read more.
"Being a member of Local Food Loop allows customers to find our products, whether they be at a retail outlet or at a market. Thumbs up for bringing local producers together in this way!"

Area Supporters can subsidise Premium members in their region or sector, and are often the best promoters of their local food economy. This helps listed places take real advantage of their presence on Local Food Loop, especially in high tourist seasons or when food festivals are scheduled.
If you'd like to know more about becoming an Area Supporter, or you'd like us to talk to someone who could become one, please drop us a note.
We're in sunny Geelong, Australia (but we're fast growing to lots of other regions). Please contact us by email or phone about basic listings, Premium Profiles or your favourite place.
