Here are three reasons businesses choose NuMarket to power what they do:
➡️ Stability: Customer Capital provides predictable support — even after a campaign ends — giving businesses the ability to grow on their own terms.
➡️ Regulars: Everyday customers turn into loyal Regulars with real reasons to keep coming back.
➡️ Ease: Campaigns are easy to start and run, and businesses access the capital they need while giving customers more of what they already love.
No outside investors. No complicated systems. Just a clear way to build with what you already have.

We’re done with crowdfunding.
After years of helping local food and beverage businesses raise money with their communities, one thing has become clear: crowdfunding isn’t enough. It scratches the surface, but it doesn’t build stronger neighborhoods. So we took a step back, put in the work, and made space for something bigger: Customer Capital.
What is it? Customer Capital is money that stays local, multiplies, and powers the businesses you want in your neighborhood. Not donations, but real capital in exchange for credits to spend and now: special access to your favorite places and exclusive benefits you’ll be excited about. It’s a way to be more than just a customer: to keep your money local while fueling the places you love to dine in, shop in, and gather in.
Why now? In the past year alone, over 8,000 people have bought into NuMarket campaigns. That’s thousands of neighbors choosing which businesses they want to see grow—and proving a new, community-powered economy is possible.
This only works when we do it together. Tell a friend to tell a friend and follow @NuMarket.co . It’s going to be good—for you, your community, and the businesses that make it special.
Without Customer Capital, this is the reality for your neighborhood 🥱. More corporate giants. Fewer local spots. Less character. Less community. Customer Capital keeps dollars local, allows the businesses you love to take up more space, and makes sure your neighborhood stays the one you actually want to live in.

So for example if you enter $100 you get back $120 to spend with us in the shop- if you put in $100,000,000 you get back $120,000,000 that’s $20,000,000 EXTRA in store credits, WOW!
.
If you’re a big spender of $450 or more you also get som extra perks. Extra extra perks for 100 mill as well.

Many businesses wait for a reason like a new location, a big repair, a slow season… some kind of moment that justifies it. The not-so-secret secret? You don’t need a reason to get capital with NuMarket. You just need customers that love what you do— and you already have them. Your customers are ready when you are.

#Biddeford is the kind of city it is because of local businesses like @timeandtidecoffee . Eight years of roasting serious coffee, walking your drink to your table because that’s just who they are, and opening their doors every weekend for free maker markets so the community has a place to gather.
67 Regulars have already bought in on NuMarket. Some are the daily faces Briana and Jon know by name and order by heart. Others are brand new names they can’t even find in their Square system yet — people who decided Time & Tide was exactly the kind of coffee shop they wanted to put their dollars into ☕️
Getting credits gives you 20% more to spend at the cafe you love and gives Time & Tide real capital to grow. Check it out at the link bio!
Not gonna lie, seeing NuMarket credits being used out in the wild makes us really happy. Today alone, we saw Regulars show up in their neighborhoods and use their credits on things like ➡️
@liseandvito for a toast at the bar
@lasperrascafe for the new spring menu drop
@noshandgrog for a cold one with friends
@boxcarburgers for that crispy Thai chicken sando
@chachissanpedro for sandwiches and pistachio mousse
@linger.boston for the perfect matcha
@fishguychicago for sustainably raised Pacific white shrimp
@sullivancountrystore for lunch and their signature tunes
@littleredkitchen for their brand new breakfast sandwiches
@cochinitaco for the ube and coconut concha LTO
This is what it’s all about!! 20% more turning into real visits, real moments, real connection.
@krikrigrill is opening soon and in Chelmsford, you’re going to want to be a part of it’s special community (luckily you still have a chance!)
@chefbrendanpelley spent 20 years opening some of Boston’s best restaurants. Now it’s his turn! Kri Kri has been taking shape since a hike life changing hike through Crete. Imagine this: made-from-scratch gyros, cozy avgolemono, slow-roasted meats, homemade ice cream right here in his hometown for his neighbors.
And when it came time to open it, they came rushing to be a part of it with @numarket.co . “It’s easier than taking out a loan. It’s easier than doing a Kickstarter reward-tier situation. I just have to do what I do best — cook for people and make them happy.”
That’s what NuMarket is for.
Before opening, Kri Kri already has almost 100 Regulars pledging their loyalty and you still have a chance to nab a spot in their Founding Herd! Check it out at the link in bio.
P.S. It’s Brendan’s birthday this week — best gift you can give him is showing up and snagging some credits. 🎂
Today we lay to rest “campaign.” We’re not crowdfunding, you’re not donating and businesses aren’t asking for help.
Instead of a campaign, what should we call it?
