AddressPegs is an online platform that connects local customers with local businesses, charities and community groups. It allows businesses to communicate special offers and discounts directly to their customers and transact entirely within the Pegs app.
Our mantra is “local supporting locals”, and we have recently had success in the Melbourne area introducing Melbourne’s students (RMIT and Melbourne University) to Melbourne CBD businesses. We are now looking to replicate this success in the university/student sector in Geelong.
