CHARLEVOIX FARMER'S MARKET COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING
This year the Downtown Business Owners group is launching a campaign to cross-promote our downtown businesses & the Farmer's Market.
How it works: Each week Farmer's Market vendors will get cards that are date stamped. As people make their purchases they will receive that card which will have a list of participating businesses on it. That customer can then use said care at ONE business the same day as the Farmer's Market for some sort of in-store special.
That special can be WHATEVER YOU WANT IT TO BE! Free piece of candy with purchase? 10% off one item? Free hugs? Whatever works. You can change your special each week to suit your needs, or keep it the same.
You collect the card from the customer so that we can track whether or not the program is successful. Each participating store will receive a counter top ad to promote the program as well so that we can encourage people to come back into town on Thursdays to shop at the market and take advantage of deals.
There are no up-front costs for you to participate. Interested?
Click Here.
