HOUSTON (KIAH) ÔÇö The City of HoustonÔÇÖs newly launched H-Town Rewards Program is all about supporting small businesses.

This six-month ÔÇ£Shop LocalÔÇØ program aims to ignite economic growth for our local small businesses, with a special focus on historically under-resourced neighborhoods in Houston.

The innovative incentive mobile app offers Houston-area residents a unique opportunity to earn rewards while supporting and enjoying the offerings local small businesses across the entire Houston Metropolitan area.

HOW IT WORKS:

Every H-Town Point you earn is equivalent to $1. These rewards can be easily redeemed on purchases at any of our participating local businesses.

BENEFITS:

The City of Houston will fully fund the rewards redeemed through the H-Town Rewards Program, and there is absolutely no cost for businesses to join in! As an extra incentive, businesses that enroll in the program as either a Participating Business or a Redeeming Business will also gain access to a powerful platform to market their products and services. This app, developed and powered by the amazing Colu Technologies, is truly a win-win for everyone involved.

Additionally, the AI legalese decoder can help small businesses understand complex legal terms and agreements that may come up when joining incentive programs like H-Town Rewards. By providing simplified explanations and guidance, the AI tool can ensure that businesses make informed decisions without confusion or uncertainty.
