Frequently Asked Questions

subtitle

The MyTown team are always here to answer any burning questions you may have. However, before you ask us, take a look at some of the frequently asked questions from our current clients.

We want to keep these services exclusive for our members. If they were unlimited, all clients would use them at all times, this would result in users getting bombarded with too much information from lots of businesses all the time. Furthermore, as I'm sure you can imagine, taking away the exclusivity of something removes the benefit and return of it. The idea behind our extra services is that you use them when it suits for your business, this could be a special promotion you have running, or a particular festive occasion where your business does well, we suggest that you apply earlier rather than later to secure your requests.
