Volunteer Deal Finders — Uncover the Best Offers Across Town

Love a bargain? Even better — love sharing one? We're building a volunteer team of sharp-eyed Deal Finders who actively seek out the genuinely good offers, discounts, and promotions running at businesses across St Albans and Harpenden — and bring them back to the platform so the whole community can benefit. This isn't about scraping discount codes off the internet. It's about real, local intelligence: knowing which café on the high street is running a 2-for-1 on Tuesdays, which independent shop has a summer clearance on, which fitness studio just launched a newcomer offer, or which deli is doing a lunchtime special that never gets posted online. **What the role involves** - Regularly checking in with local businesses — in person, by phone, or through their social media — to spot active deals and promotions - Submitting deals to The Social Martini platform with clear details: what it is, where to find it, how long it runs, any conditions - Being the first to know: building good relationships with local business owners so they come to you with upcoming offers - Verifying deals before submitting — we only list things that are real, current, and genuinely valuable - Covering a specific patch of St Albans or Harpenden so we don't miss a thing: the market area, the St Peter's Street corridor, the Fleetville neighbourhood, Harpenden High Street, and more **What we're looking for** - A love for local — you know the shops, the cafés, the restaurants, and you genuinely enjoy exploring them - People skills — business owners need to feel comfortable sharing offers with you; warmth and trustworthiness go a long way - An eye for a genuine deal — not just 'offer' stickers, but things that actually make a difference to someone's week or month - Basic digital literacy — you'll need to submit deals through a simple online form and occasionally grab a photo for us - Reliability and consistency — even one solid submission per week makes a real difference to the community **What you'll get** - Recognition on the platform as a named, verified Deal Finder — the community will know you by name - First access to the best deals you find before they go live to everyone else - A chance to directly help local residents save money and support local businesses - Monthly Deal Finder meetups (coffee and catch-ups, usually at a partner venue) - A glowing volunteer reference from The Social Martini team for your CV This is a volunteer role — no salary — but the impact is immediate and very real. Every deal you submit could save a local family money, introduce someone to a shop they've never tried, or help a small business reach customers it wouldn't otherwise have found. That's worth something.
