In a matter of days, the Christmas season will be upon us and the Nashville Chamber of Commerce is getting ready for its annual shop local promotion, which will be titled, “Shopping Small Pays Big: Keep it Local.”
For businesses wanting to participate, here’s how it will work:
The promotion will begin Friday, Nov. 7 and will end on Friday, Dec. 19. During that period, if someone purchases from your business in the amount of $25 or more and they wish to be eligible to be reimbursed for that purchase (up to $100), either duplicate their receipt or write their name, phone number, and amount of purchase on a slip of paper and drop it in a receptacle of your choice.
On Dec. 19, participating businesses will bring their receptacles to the chamber office where chamber officials will draw 10 receipts and “pay back” those receipts to the purchasers. Again, the maximum payback will be $100. So, if a receipt for $56 is drawn, that amount will be paid. If a receipt for $156 is drawn, $100.00 will be paid. Any individual purchaser will only be eligible for one reimbursement, according to NCC Executive Director Tim Pinkerton.
