⚡ Founding offer — the first 100 businesses get 6 months free
You’re already doing the hard part.
You write the special. You chalk it on the board, put it in the window, post it to Facebook, tell whoever’s at the counter. Spesh gives that same special one more place to be found — by locals nearby who were never going to walk past your board.
Nothing to invent. Nothing extra to run. Two minutes to join, thirty seconds to post a special.
Why list on Spesh?
Free promotion for the deals you already run
You already put specials on a board out front. Spesh puts them on locals’ phones too — at no cost. Change them anytime; people always see what’s current.
Turn your own customers into regulars
Get a QR code for your counter. Customers scan it when they pay and see what else you’ve got on — and they’re reminded to come back. Your regulars are your first audience from day one.
Get found by new locals nearby
Shoppers open Spesh to see what’s on around them, and every special you post lands on a page for your suburb that Google can find. That’s people who were never going to walk past your window — without paying for the click.
Know it’s working before you pay
See exactly how many locals viewed each special and scanned your counter QR — so you know it’s paying off well before your free months are up.
Your specials shouldn’t only be seen by people already standing in your shop.
Get my specials listed — free“Is anyone actually using Spesh yet?”
Fair question, and here’s the straight answer: we’re building Spesh with local businesses first. Nobody opens a specials app with nothing in it, so the specials go on before the shoppers do.
That’s what the first 100 businesses are for. I’m Ian — I’m building Spesh here on the Gold Coast, and I’m signing those 100 up one at a time, myself, so it ends up being something you’d actually use. Get in now and you’re on the front of it, not the back of a queue.

Your special lands on the phone of someone already after it
Shoppers keep a list in Spesh of what they want to catch on special. Post one that matches and their phone buzzes — no ad spend, no waiting for them to scroll past you.
They asked for it before you posted it
Shoppers keep a list in Spesh of things they want to catch on special. Put one of them on, and the people nearby who’ve been waiting get told — the product by name, with your shop on it.
A match, not a mailout
Only shoppers whose list matches hear about it, and only within 15km of your door. That’s why locals leave Spesh notifications switched on — and why yours gets read instead of swiped away.
You don’t send anything
There’s no campaign to build and no send button to find. You post the special; the notifications go out on their own. The most active shoppers near you also get a nudge that something new has landed.
Included from the Business plan up — the plan your free 6 months run on, so it's switched on from day one.
Get my specials listed — freeDeals that only count inside your shop
Some offers you only want honoured in person — a lunch price, a "while you're here" deal. Tick scan to activate and the special only turns on for someone who scans a card on your counter. It can't be used from home, and it can't be passed around online.
Print a card for the counter
Four table cards on an A4 sheet, or a poster for behind the bar. Each one carries a code only your venue has. If it ever gets out, retire it and reprint — the old cards stop working the moment you do.
Locals get nudged when they arrive
Someone walking in with Spesh open gets a reminder that you've got something on and a prompt to scan. They're already through the door — this is the last five metres.
They can come back for the next round
A customer who orders again gets a fresh code without leaving their seat, so a second order doesn't look like the same one twice. Prefer once per customer? Set a limit.
Check the code at the till
They show you a square on their phone. Scan it with any camera — your till tablet or your own phone, no app to install — and you see what it's for, whether it's still good, and a button to mark it redeemed so it can't be used twice. No camera free? They read you four characters instead.
Licensed venue? Drink specials print on counter cards only and come with a per-visit limit, so your promotion stays on the right side of the Liquor Act. We set that up for you — you can change the number.
Included on every plan, free months included.
Get my specials listed — freeKnow what worked — and what locals keep asking for
Two different questions: how your specials performed, and what people around you are hunting for. Both are answered from your dashboard.
Your reports
Views on every special, day by day, across 7, 30 or 90 days or any range you pick. Which special pulled hardest, which day peaked, and — if you run more than one shop — which location did it. From the Business plan up.
What locals are asking for
List Insights shows the most-wanted products around you right now, taken from what shoppers are actually adding to their lists — broken down by suburb, postcode and category. Stock to it, or price your next special against it. On the Pro plan.
Your reports run through the free months too — you'll know whether it's paying off well before there's a bill.

Snap a photo, set a price, done. We even tag the category for you.
Share It
Nothing to design. Your posters, counter cards and decals come ready to print — including activation cards for the deals you only want used in store.
More than one shop?
Run up to 3 locations on the Business plan and 10 on Pro. Each one gets its own specials, its own QR codes and its own numbers — and when you've got the same deal on everywhere, you post it once and send it to the rest. Someone living between two of your shops still only hears about it once.
Work the markets? Each market is a location. Set up the three or four you trade at and your specials show under whichever suburb you're in that day.
Want me to set it up for you?
If you'd rather not do it yourself, email me one special — the product and the price is enough — and I'll build it, tag it, and send you your counter QR ready to print. No account needed to ask, and you can take it from there or leave it with me.

Questions, answered
Is it really free?
Yes — free for 6 months as a founding business, no card needed. After that there’s a low monthly fee only if it’s working for you, and you can cancel anytime. See pricing
I don’t have time for another tool.
Setup takes two minutes and you change deals in seconds from your phone. There’s nothing to learn.
Do I need to download anything?
Nope. You add your specials from our website, and we give you a QR code to print or share. Your customers see your specials in the Spesh app, but you don’t need to download it yourself.
Does anyone actually get told about my special?
Yes, and it’s the part most owners don’t expect. Shoppers keep a list in Spesh of what they’re after; when you post something that matches, everyone nearby with it on their list gets a notification naming your shop. You don’t send it — posting the special is the whole job. Drink specials are the exception: the Liquor Act keeps those inside the venue.
How many specials can I run?
Up to 5 at a time on the Business plan and 25 on Pro, and you can swap them out as often as you like — there’s no limit on changes. If you only ever run one, there’s a free Starter plan that stays free. See pricing
I’ve got more than one shop. Or I do markets.
Up to 3 locations on Business and 10 on Pro. Each one gets its own QR codes and its own numbers, and you can push a special out to all of them at once. Market stalls count as locations — one for each market you work, so your specials show under whichever suburb you’re trading in that day.
How do I know it’s working?
Your dashboard shows views on every special day by day, your best performer, your peak day, and which location it came from if you run more than one. That’s there through the free months, so you can judge it before there’s ever a bill.
I already post deals on social media.
Keep doing that — Spesh works alongside it. Most followers miss your posts; the QR catches the people already standing in your shop, ready to buy.
Can people use my deal without coming in?
Only if you let them. Tick “scan to activate” and the special won’t turn on for anyone who hasn’t scanned the card on your counter — a screenshot sent to a friend across town is worth nothing.
Does this mean training my staff?
There's nothing to teach. If a special needs checking, the customer holds up a square on their phone and whoever's on the till scans it with any camera — the shop tablet or their own phone, nothing to install. The screen says what it's for, whether it's still good, and has one button to mark it used. Codes read out loud work too, if both hands are full.
Can one customer use a deal more than once?
Yes, while they’re in your shop — they get a fresh code for each order, so a second round doesn’t look like the same one twice. You can cap it at once per visit, or any number you like. Drink specials always have a limit.
What happens after the free period?
Plans start at $20/month, cancel anytime. No lock-in contracts. See pricing
After your free 6 months it's $20/month, cancel anytime. No lock-in, no card needed to start.
