Locally’s Partnership with Board Retailers Association
Locally and Board Retailers Association join forces
About
A little bit about us...
Locally was founded in 2014 in anticipation of changes in consumer behavior. We saw that shoppers were increasingly turning to internet-connected devices for decision making and that increasingly nearby stores, the brands they carry, and their on-hand inventory were invisible to shoppers. So we built a solution.
Today, we help thousands of stores present their selection to nearby shoppers using ecommerce tactics and we provide users with novel last-mile fulfillment options like in-store pickup and same-day delivery.
Meet the Locally Team
Our team was built from stakeholders; retailers, web developers, marketing experts, industry veterans, and local shopping advocates.
