Why Businesses That Offer Great Discounts Earn More

At The Cronies, our goal is simple: create a membership that local people genuinely love and local businesses genuinely benefit from.

We believe the best way to achieve that is by making sure our members receive fantastic value while helping businesses attract new customers.

That’s why we encourage businesses to offer meaningful, attractive discounts to Cronies members.

Great Offers Create More Members

When local people see discounts that are genuinely worth having, joining The Cronies becomes an easy decision.

For just £5 per month, members gain access to exclusive discounts, offers, events and benefits from local businesses across Kent.

The more attractive the offers are, the more people choose to become members.

Everyone wins.

Members save money.

Businesses gain new customers.

The local community becomes stronger.

Rewarding Businesses For Supporting Members

We don’t just ask businesses to offer great discounts – we reward them for doing so.

When a business opts in to our referral programme and creates an offer that encourages someone to become a Cronies member, we’ll pay that business £20 for every new member they introduce.

To ensure we’re rewarding genuine long-term memberships, the payment is made once that member has remained a Cronies member for six months.

This means businesses are rewarded for helping us grow a thriving community of active local members, not just generating quick sign-ups.

Why We Do It

Many advertising platforms ask businesses to spend money before seeing any results.

We’ve taken a different approach.

We want businesses to have a simple, low-risk way of introducing themselves to new local customers.

A compelling offer gives people a reason to visit your business for the first time.

Once they’re through the door, it’s your opportunity to impress them, build a relationship and turn them into a loyal customer.

At the same time, members receive genuine savings that can easily cover the cost of their membership many times over.

Making Membership A No-Brainer

Our ambition is to make becoming a Cronies member an obvious choice for local people.

If members can save significantly more than the £5 monthly membership fee, everybody benefits.

That’s why we’re constantly looking for businesses that want to provide outstanding offers and experiences.

The better the offers, the more valuable the membership becomes.

The more valuable the membership becomes, the more members join.

The more members join, the more customers local businesses can reach.

It’s a simple idea that benefits everyone involved.
