There will be $6000 up for grabs for customers of participating businesses, with the month-long promotion expected to repair some of the damage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic across the past 18 months.
The Shop Local campaign kicks off on Monday, November 22 when we will uncover the first of the participating businesses.
Readers will be able to access a list of participating businesses as well as keep a keen eye out for those that are displaying the Shop Local logo, featuring the Rock Solid branding, in their windows.
It’s a simple concept: The Riv and Rock Solid want to keep Echuca-Moama locals in town to do their Christmas shopping, so the incentives are enormous.
Riv advertising manager Kristy Hayes said shopping locally and supporting the local business community was more important than ever right now.
“Businesses of all sizes continue to be impacted by COVID-19 so we’re really excited to partner with Rock Solid to encourage people to shop locally and reward those who are not only supporting our local businesses, but are also supporting local job growth.”
Customers could win a share of $6000, with weekly giveaways of $1000 and $500 in shopping vouchers for the participating stores.
From Monday, November 22 until Sunday, December 19 any purchases made at participating stores will earn the customer an entry into the corresponding week’s draw.
So, for local businesses that haven’t signed up for the promotion yet and wish to participate, call Riv advertising manager Kristy Hayes on 5482 1111.
All 12 editions of The Riv during the four weeks of the promotion will feature details of participants and, excitingly for readers, our winning customers.
Weekly winners will have the chance to choose where they spend their winnings as the prize money can only be spent at participating businesses.
Promotional posters, coupons and entry boxes for customers will be stationed at all of these businesses and the draws will be on November 30 and December 7, 14 and 21.
