[OMS_MANAGERS] Downtown Dollars

[W Darin Rutledge, Executive Director]

Looking forward to hearing from others – I did some research a while back but we haven’t had the capacity to pull the trigger on anything yet. I did find one program that seemed to be a good model in terms of reasonable administrative lift, technology, and a “credible” look and feel. Details are here: https://downtownsantacruz.com/downtowndollars

 

There’s always the old school method – print the $, get businesses on board, then simply have them submit for reimbursement when the certificates are tendered. There’s a lot to be said for that, however; programs like the above require a business to be on board with not only the concept, but also with an additional point of sale process, up front registration, etc. 

 

Let me know what you settle on!

Hello,

 

I was hoping that some of you have worked with "Downtown Dollars" in your downtowns. If so, could you let me know how your program works? We are wanting to have some downtown dollars made for the holiday season that we have printed and then customers can get an extra 10% off when they use them at stores. How are you doing this? Any information is welcome. 

 

If it is easier to call me you can reach me on my cell: 541-294-2349.

 

Thanks,

Holly
