Nhere. It’s what is near + here! As a small business owner and over sharer and proud community member, I am so excited to tell to about this app.
A few weeks ago, I got to meet the Nhere team at a Grow Strong (Armstrong County Small Business) networking event. After hearing about the app, I was sold. Nhere helps you find out “what’s close by and get an in-depth look at what’s local, whether you’re looking for a restaurant to eat at, a bar to drink at, a museum to visit, or a park to relax in“. With a familiar feel to some of today’s top social media tools, sharing quickly becomes addictive. {Bonus points that the app is a product of Pittsburgh!}
How am I using Nhere?
For now, I’ve focused my use of Nhere around building up info about my local community. As I have events for my business, I will be posting promotions.
There is a “circle” which pulls up a map with photos “near + here”. Most of the Kittanning ones are mine and from the event a few weeks ago, so I am eager to change that with plenty more posts about my town. 😉
With the camera feature, it’s easy to take a photo and tag it geographically so others know where to find the local gem you are sharing. For instance, the Ford Cliff VFD has a GREAT Fish Fry on Fridays in Lent so I shared their flyer as I was heading out (all full of fish, of course).
See how the location is on my post? And others can favorite and/or up/down vote it too!
Speaking of voting, I snapped this photo of my local YMCA’s latest campaign:
I’m excited to watch Nhere grow their business bug even more to see how it helps grow local businesses, too.
