THE GAP
Your regulars love you, yet you can't reach them when it counts.
Instagram shows your post to a sliver of your followers. Most emails go unopened. Texting charges you for every send. Meanwhile your best customers walk past your door because nobody told them about today's special.
Three ways to reach customers, compared
A quick look at what each channel really delivers for a local business.

People read texts, but every send is billed. A flash sale to 1,000 customers costs you $50 each time.

- $0.05
- Per 1,000 texts
- $50.00
Lock Screen Push
~30% CTR
Lands on the lock screen instantly: no feed, no inbox, no filter between you and the customer.
- Price per push
- $0.00 (Free)

Send a push whenever you like
Got news or a quiet afternoon to fill? Type a message and press send. It appears on every pass holder's lock screen right away, at no charge.
About 30 seconds
Put quiet hours to work
Same-day specials
Quiet Tuesday afternoon? Push an offer at 2 PM and see people at your counter by 3. There is no waiting for anyone to open an email.
Example:
"Lunch Special is! Two slices and a drink for $6 until 3 PM. Show this pass."
Walk-by alerts
Draw a circle around your shop. When a pass holder steps inside it, your welcome message shows up automatically.
Example:
"Good to see you nearby! Show this pass for 10% off today."
Refill open slots
A client cancelled at the last minute? Offer the empty slot at a discount and fill your calendar within minutes.
Example:
"A 3 PM slot just opened! First to reply gets 20% off."
Powerful where it matters, simple everywhere else
Made for owners who run a shop, not an engineering team.
Nothing to Install
Your pass sits in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which customers already carry. Nothing extra to download.
Location Triggers Included
Send a message automatically when a pass holder comes within range of your business.
Clear Reporting
Track how many people hold your pass, how many tap each push, and which offers pull people.
Looks Like You
Choose your colors, logo and layout so the pass matches your shop. It carries your name, not ours.
Common questions
SMS costs around 5 cents per message — reaching 1,000 customers costs $50 every time. Tapbeam notifications are free and unlimited, land on the lock screen just like a text, and customers join by tapping once instead of handing over their phone number.
No. Your pass lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, which are already on your customers' phones. They tap your link or scan your QR code once, the pass is added, and they'll receive your notifications from then on.
Everything. For 30 days you get your branded pass, unlimited notifications, geo-fencing, and analytics — no credit card required. If you cancel before day 30, you pay nothing and your pass simply stops sending.
Your next full house
starts with one push
Quit hoping people spot your posts. Send offers that appear right on their lock screen, free of charge.
