No Long-Term Contracts

Stay because you want to, not because you're locked in. That keeps us honest.

Dedicated Support

Already with another symbol group?

Thinking about switching?

Many of our retailers came from other symbol groups. Here's what they were looking for — and what they found with Nearby.

With other groups

  • × Rigid pricing set by head office
  • × Mandatory promotions that don't suit your area
  • × Membership fees and marketing levies
  • × Long-term contracts

With Nearby

  • Set your own prices for your customers
  • Choose which promotions work for your store
  • Zero fees — no exceptions
  • No long-term contracts — stay because it works

Your dedicated team

Real people, not a call centre

Every Nearby retailer gets a dedicated Business Development Manager who knows your store, your area, and your goals.
