Geelong – The Driveree App is playing a pivotal role in revitalizing the local economy of Geelong, Victoria, by providing innovative solutions that help local businesses thrive. From supporting restaurants and delivery services to creating new job opportunities, Driveree is making a significant impact on the region’s economic growth and sustainability.
As one of the leading food delivery apps in the region, Driveree is not only changing the way people order food, but also offering vital support to local businesses through its unique platform. Driveree’s commitment to community-driven initiatives and affordable services is helping to ensure that Geelong’s small businesses and entrepreneurs can compete with national and international giants.
Supporting Local Restaurants and Retailers
Driveree’s focus on local restaurants is one of the app’s standout features. By providing targeted social media promotions, in-app discounts, and free advertising boosts, Driveree helps businesses increase visibility and attract new customers. Each week, Driveree selects eight local restaurants to feature on social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Pinterest. With a $50 advertising boost, these restaurants can showcase their menu items, special offers, and seasonal deals to a broader audience, increasing their chances of success.
“Our goal is to help local businesses in Geelong grow by making digital marketing more accessible,” says Karanbir Singh, CEO of Driveree. “Many small businesses don’t have the budget for expensive advertising campaigns, so we’re offering them a chance to promote themselves on major social media platforms at a fraction of the cost.”
Through push notifications in the Driveree app, users are alerted to special restaurant offers, giving local eateries an additional channel to reach potential customers directly. This initiative is making it easier for Geelong businesses to promote their specials and discounts, driving sales and increasing engagement with the community.
Job Creation and Economic Growth in Geelong
In addition to helping local businesses thrive, Driveree is also creating new job opportunities in the Geelong region. As the app continues to expand, more delivery drivers, marketing professionals, and customer support staff are being hired, contributing to the local job market and driving economic growth. By offering flexible employment opportunities, Driveree is attracting a diverse workforce and providing meaningful work to people across the region.
Driveree’s impact extends beyond the food delivery sector, as the app is also helping to boost the local economy through partnerships with local farmers, suppliers, and service providers. By focusing on local supply chains, Driveree ensures that more money stays within the Geelong community, benefiting a wide range of industries.
A Sustainable and Future-Focused Business Model
Driveree is not just about short-term growth; the app is committed to a sustainable business model that benefits both consumers and businesses. Through its use of eco-friendly delivery options and investments in green technology, Driveree is reducing its carbon footprint while providing efficient and affordable services to its users. This sustainability focus aligns with Geelong’s commitment to a greener future, further solidifying Driveree’s role in the region’s long-term economic success.
In addition to food delivery, Driveree has plans to expand its services into drone delivery and autonomous logistics, which could create even more job opportunities and economic benefits for the region in the coming years.
Driveree’s Ongoing Contribution to Geelong’s Economy
As Driveree continues to grow and expand across Australia, its commitment to supporting local Geelong businesses remains a core part of the company’s mission. From helping restaurants with marketing to providing job opportunities and creating new income streams, Driveree is a key driver of the local economy.
With a valuation of $13 million in the Geelong area and plans to expand nationally, Driveree is poised to continue its journey as a leader in the food delivery and ridesharing industries.
