Kiama was one of the first communities to welcome Walkbuy, and it continues to play a special role in shaping what the platform is becoming.

From the beginning, local businesses embraced the idea of connecting with customers in real time through short, snappy ‘Pulses’ (Deals) on the Walkbuy app.

As Walkbuy continues to evolve and expand into new regions, Kiama remains at the heart of that journey.

Since launching in Kiama, Walkbuy has been learning, refining and improving the platform based on real feedback from towns just like this one.

Businesses are becoming more comfortable experimenting with Pulses, and shoppers are starting to discover new deals, new products and new reasons to stay local.

Behind the scenes, Walkbuy is also working on the upcoming release of new and exciting innovations, designed purely to increase customer and retailer engagement.

These improvements are focused on making it easier for businesses to connect with their community and for locals to see what’s happening around them in real time.

We’re looking forward to rolling these out and continuing to enhance what is becoming a genuinely valuable local connector.

One of the key partners in this journey has been Burnett's on Barney, a much-loved Kiama business that has shown how Walkbuy can be used not just to promote offers, but to build stronger connections with customers.

From homewares and local art to garden essentials and great coffee, Burnetts has embraced Walkbuy as another way to stay visible and engaged with the local community.

As more retailers join and share their own updates, Walkbuy becomes increasingly valuable for locals and visitors alike.

Every Pulse adds to the wider story of what makes Kiama unique and worth supporting.

We’re proud to still be working alongside Kiama businesses as Walkbuy continues to grow, and we’re excited about what’s ahead.

If you're a local business and not yet on Walkbuy, now is a great time to get involved.

The app is completely free to use, easy to get started with, and designed to help you reach customers who may not yet know you exist.

Likewise, for local shoppers, downloading Walkbuy is a simple way to see what’s happening just around the corner.

Walkbuy is about making local shopping easier, more visible and more vibrant.

Thank you, Kiama, for continuing to support us as we build something together.
