WELCOME TO LOVE LOCAL REVY
We're thrilled to introduce our new shop local Initiative aimed at nurturing our local economy while embracing the vibrant spirit of our community. Love Local Revy is to be a recurring event, designed to support our local businesses during the towns’ slower periods of economic activity. We aim to do this by providing businesses with the tools to partake, and shoppers with prize incentives to spend their money locally, increasing foot traffic and sales.
Check back for the Spring 2024 campaign page with more info on participating businesses and prizes! Read on below for more information for businesses and shoppers!
HOW IT WORKS
It’s simple!
Eligible Businesses with a physical storefront register with us to receive their Participation Package, which includes a ballot box, ballots, and promotional materials to advertise their involvement.
Customers make a purchase at participating businesses and enter a ballot at the point of purchase to be entered into a draw for a chance to win one of six prize packs valued at $500 each!
At the end of each campaign, we will collect the ballots and announce the winners shortly afterwards. Businesses will hold onto their Participation Packages, including the Ballot Box, to facilitate the simple ‘activation’ of future campaigns.
CAMPAIGN TIMINGS
We're planning for three phases of the campaign throughout the year. Two of which will be during each of our Shoulder Seasons, the Spring and Fall. These phases of the campaign have the potential to coincide with the Chambers’ Ambassador Program events, as well as Welcome Week, increasing our reach and shopper participation.
The third phase will be dependent on the needs of the community. By setting up the campaign to be activated at any time, we can quickly provide additional support for local businesses during these times of need. Think of those really smoky days in the summer, or perhaps we’ll want to give consumers a little extra incentive to buy Holiday gifts locally, rather than online.
Promotion
Keep an eye out around town for our branded window decals and other display signage. We’ll be spreading the word on the ground through our Visitor Centre, print ads, and radio spots, whilst also promoting online through Social Media ads and by increasing our visibility in Google Search results.
