Local creators for your café, salon or store

How does Hypee work for local businesses?

Hypee helps local businesses in India work with Instagram creators from their own city. A café, restaurant, salon, gym or store posts a campaign with "In-store visit" as the offer, such as a meal, a service or a free week, and local creators apply. You can also search creators by city and niche once you sign up.

Applicants are ranked by fit so you see the best ones first. When you approve someone, your offer goes with the approval and Hypee tracks the visit and the post. Many local collaborations are barter only; if you pay a fee, you pay the creator directly and Hypee takes 0% commission. You can post up to 3 campaigns free.
