Testimonials

"The perks card is a wonderful tool designed to increase traffic, giving locals and beyond the opportunity to experience restaurants, shops and amenities of LIC.  Defining our area as a destination,or a place to remain relies upon the cooperation of each of us, local businesses, to offer slight discounts to entice consumers.  Dutch Kills Centraal records the use of the Perks card, noticing higher check averages and return guests benefiting our establishment, even with the discount."

- Ken Holiday, Marketing and Events, Dutch Kills Centraal


 
"Modern Spaces offers dinner for two (valued at $150) to an LIC restaurant if renting an apartment and a credit ($500) towards moving expenses if buying or selling through the brokerage. Offering these deals through the Perks program not only brings visibility to Modern Spaces, but also welcomes newcomers to LIC by encouraging them to explore local restaurants and services. It's a simple and effective way to promote my company, and other local businesses"

- Eric Benaim, CEO/President/Founder, Modern Spaces
