Whir

Whir is a local promotions platform that helps businesses connect with nearby customers who are deciding where to go. Instead of depending on social media followers, algorithms, or passing foot traffic, businesses can put their deals and events on a map for Whir users nearby to discover. Promotions can include daily specials, happy hours, live music, trivia nights, seasonal menus, flash sales, and grand openings.

Businesses create a profile, write a promotion, set its timing, and publish it; the deal can appear on the map within seconds. Whir also offers scheduling and calendar management, while its paid Analytics plan provides insights such as map views, deal engagement, directions requested, and performance reports. The free Starter plan includes a business profile and deal management, with no credit card required. For businesses with multiple locations, Enterprise offers multi-location management, custom integrations, dedicated support, and white-label options.

Customers can browse nearby offers through Whir’s iOS and Android apps without following a business or signing up for its newsletter.
