For businesses
Give focused people a reason to walk through your door
Zenera pays people in Z Tokens for time spent off their phone. Those tokens are only worth something if there is somewhere to spend them, which is where you come in. You decide the reward, you decide the terms, and you pay nothing to be listed.
What listing involves
- £0
- to list a reward, and nothing per redemption. The only cost is the reward itself.
- 10 min
- of your time to get listed: one email, one reply from us, and a look at the wording.
- None
- of your customer’s personal data is passed to you, and none of yours is asked for beyond the listing.
What you get
A small, local audience rather than a large, distant one
Zenera is not an advertising channel and does not pretend to be one. It puts your offer in front of a few hundred people who live or study near you, at the moment they have finished working and are looking for somewhere to go.
Customers who are already nearby
Somebody can sort the catalogue by how close each reward is, so yours is found by people who are nearby and have just finished a couple of hours of work, which is exactly when somebody decides to leave the house.
No fee to list
There is no listing fee and no commission on a redemption. You bear the cost of whatever you have chosen to give away, and nothing else.
You control the terms
Set the token price, how many can be claimed in a day and how many in total. Change any of it, or pause the listing, whenever you like.
A reason to come back
Tokens are earned over days of focused work, so a reward is spent by somebody who has been building towards it. In practice that is a planned visit rather than a passing one.
What you would get
This is the listing, and this is the cost
Nothing here is a mock-up of something we intend to build. The catalogue draws every listing this way today, and the arithmetic beneath it is the arithmetic the app runs.
A flat white
Independent café
600 Zfive days of first hours
- You choose this
- The reward and the terms. A coffee, a class, ten per cent off, whatever suits you.
- We suggest this
- The token price, set against the hours it takes to earn rather than against what it costs you.
- Nobody chooses this
- The artwork is generated from the reward’s name, the same way the app generates it. No logo to send.
What it costs you
The coffee. Nothing to list, nothing per redemption, and no commission on anything the customer buys alongside it. Somebody who kept five days away from their phone to earn it is standing at your counter, and that is the whole arrangement.
Getting listed
Four steps, most of which are ours
From the first email to a live listing is usually a few days, and the work on your side is one conversation and one approval.
Tell us what you would offer
You, once
A coffee, ten per cent off, a day pass, a free class on a first visit. Email the business name, the address and the offer.
We set the listing up
Us
We price it in tokens against what other rewards cost, agree the terms with you and put it live. Nothing is published until you have seen it.
Customers redeem in person
Your counter
The app shows a short code and a QR code for the same claim. Your staff read the code back or scan it, and it is marked used on the spot — a code works once, and a second attempt on the same one is refused.
You see what happened
Us, monthly
A monthly summary of how many rewards were claimed and when. No personal data about the customer is shared with you, and none is asked of you.
Who it suits
Places people go when they stop working
If your customers include students, freelancers or anyone else who works in stretches, a Zenera listing tends to fit. If they do not, it probably will not, and we will say so.
- Cafés and coffee roasters
- Gyms, climbing walls and yoga studios
- Independent bookshops
- Co-working and study spaces
- Sandwich shops and delis
- Barbers and salons
Before you ask
The three questions everyone asks first
- What does it cost?
- Nothing to list, and nothing per redemption. You bear the cost of whatever you have chosen to give away, and no more than that.
- How do we stop abuse?
- Codes are single use, expire within minutes of being shown and are tied to one account. Tokens can only be earned by completing sessions on a real device.
- Do we need new hardware?
- No. Staff scan the QR code or type the short code in the Zenera app on their own phone, signed in with an address you give us, or on a web page on any phone or tablet. Nothing to buy, and no till to connect.
Tell us what you would offer
Send the business name, the address and a rough idea of the reward. We will come back with a suggested token price, the terms as we would write them, and any questions we have.
No listing fee and no commission on a redemption.
