[OMS_MANAGERS] Small Business Saturday Punch Card

[director.mfcda at gmail.com]

Here’s something we’re doing in Milton-Freewater, dreamt up by local hero, Emily Holden 😊

 

 

Shop Local for the Holiday Season Project Proposal

Purpose
To allow local small businesses to combine funds and resources to encourage local residents to shop small within our community during this holiday season.




When
Promotion would begin on Small Business Saturday, which is Saturday November 26th and run through Friday December 30.

The Event
We will print stamp cards that will be distributed through participating businesses.  As customers shop at participating businesses, they will get a stamp with each purchase made.

Once a card has been filled (5 purchases), they will put their name and phone number on the back and drop them into a drop box.

Customers can complete as many cards as they desire by continuing to shop local throughout the holiday season.

On December 31, one lucky winner will be drawn for a grand package of gift cards from each participating business.

Hello Everyone,

 

Happy Monday to you all! 

 

On one of the recent Main Street Calls we had there was discussion of Small Business Saturday ideas. One of the engagements discussed was a punch card encouraging the community to make 10 qualifying purchases to be entered into a drawing. I believe there was follow up information sent out but I am unable to find anything. If anyone has further information they can share, that would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thank you in advance and have a great day!
