Blip is many things. It is a way for a community to be rewarded for supporting locally owned independent and franchise businesses. It is also a way to strengthen your community by keeping more money in the community. And, Blip is a way for local businesses to reach local residents and attract new customers.

The Blip Keytag is completely free for local residents. In fact, you don't even have to register your name, address, or telephone number with us. Just find a participating local business and pick up a keytag at their location.

You'll find participating local businesses all over town. Look for the BLIP decal in their store (or truck) window. You'll also notice counter displays where you can pick up a free keytag at a participating merchant. You will also see a directory listing of all participating businesses in the "Buy Local Ad Magazine" for your town. And, of course you can find participating businesses right here on this website.

Yes, you can. Each participating business determines their own discount or promotion and can range from as little as 1% to as much as 10% off your purchase (on eligible purchases). The typical family of four can save over $400 a year by simply using the Blip Keytag.

Click on the "advertise" link in the green bar at the top of the page (or here)and see if your business qualifies to be a part of the BLIP program. We'd love to have you join with other local businesses and offer discounts & promotions to help stimulate the local economy.

At this time you'll have to check this site often to stay up-to-date. New merchants will continually be listed on our home page so you can find them easily. In the near future you'll be able to follow us on Twitter, Facebook, & MySpace and always be aware of the latest Blip happenings.
