Shop Local & Score Sweepstakes

Promotion Overview For Businesses

Between June 5th and June 21st we are driving shoppers to local participating businesses. We’re asking businesses to place promotional poster (4 1/2” x 11”) in their window identifying them as a participating location.

If you have a brick and mortar location, shoppers scan the QR code on the poster with their smart phone, and that takes them to your custom sweepstakes sponsorship page. Here’s what’s on the sponsorship page:

1) Your logo

2) An entry form that captures basic information about the shopper: Name, Email, etc.

3) 3 trivia questions about your business. These 3 questions are provided by you in the form below. We have more instructions on that further down the page.

4) A “sponsored by” section where you can include an optional promotional image/graphic, any messaging up to 150 words, and a link to your website and/or social media accounts.

The shopper completes the form, answers the questions about your business, sees your marketing message, submits the form, and they’re entered into the sweepstakes.

Setting expectation for shoppers about your location.

If you have a brick and mortar business where you DON’T WANT FOOT TRAFFIC we’ll add that message to the top of your poster. Just tell us on the sign-up form below.

If you have a brick and mortar business and you DO WANT FOOT TRAFFIC there’s an incentive for shoppers to enter your business to make a purchase. When shoppers make a purchase, take a photo of their receipt, and upload it with their entry form they get a bonus entry into the sweepstakes.

For brick and mortar business that want a larger poster to hang or for inside their store to promote the program we are happy to provide those.

Why would any resident or shopper do this?

It’s very easy to participate and takes less than 2 minutes to enter. However, the real incentive for shoppers is prizes. Prizes will be awarded June 23rd at a location and time to be named later.

First Prize is $100 in gift cards • Second Prize is $50 in gift cards • Third Prize is $25 in gift cards

Why would any business do this? What’s the catch?

This program is about as turnkey as it gets. Beyond completing the form below the only catch is we’re asking each business to donate a (minimum) $25 gift certificate to their business, or a (minimum) $25 Visa/MasterCard gift card to fulfill the prizes. There’s no other catch.

The real motivation is bringing awareness to our Shop Local campaign and Chamber businesses. If you provide a $25 gift certificate to your business we have a hunch that will come back to you in multiples. If you don’t have a retail type business we have another hunch the $25 gift card will pay for itself in awareness and lead generation.

Can I participate if my business is virtual or a non-profit organization?

Yes! We are including a section for virtual businesses and other organizations. When shoppers click on your logo they’ll go to an entry form just like the brick and mortar businesses.

What are the 3 trivia questions I need to provide about my business?

To keep the focus on your business in this promotion, we want shoppers to answer 3 simple trivia questions about your business (or industry). They can be easy or challenging, all we ask is that they’re written in a style that would allow for a multiple choice answer. In other words, no true or false—and—no yes or no questions. Here’s a few examples of questions that are appropriate for this promotion, but you can get as creative as you like.
