Hamilton Day Update, Nov. 5

Hamilton Day Update November 5, 2021

Things are evolving quickly as we figure out simple ways to celebrate Hamilton Day in Waterdown Village on Nov. 20 to promote the 'Support Local' message and encourage people to visit YOUR businesses.

Hamilton Day is being promoted heavily on social media by the Hamilton Chamber of Commerce. Hamilton Day information has been added to the BIA website and we will be updating as more businesses join.

We're receiving and will distribute Hamilton Day promotional materials (such as tote bags, buttons, lawn signs and posters) to participating businesses.

In Waterdown Village, we'll have local musicians - the Chopped Liver Band and The Vaudevillian - performing in the district. Other Waterdown Village Hamilton Day programs include gift giveaways, extend shopping hours and special offers in some businesses.

It's not too late to join. Please reach out if you would like to participate so we can add your details to our website and social media. Contact spennie@waterdownbia.ca or adamneumann@waterdownbia.ca

See more details below.

Gift Basket Giveaways

Hamilton Day is focused on local shopping.

People who make three local purchases on November 30 will qualify to enter a draw for 1 of 10 amazing Waterdown Village gift packs. The more they shop, the more chances they will have to win.

We need your help to distribute Hamilton Day 'bucks' as part of this initiative.

We'll provide BIA members with Hamilton Day bucks and ballots.

For every purchase* made in your location on November 20, we ask that you provide ONE (1) Hamilton Day buck to your customer. Once people have collected THREE (3) 'bucks', they can trade them in for a ballot.

Ballots will be entered for a chance to win one of 10 gift baskets filled with items from participating businesses.

How to help us fill gift baskets:

We're looking for 30 items with a minimum value of $75
We ask participating businesses to pay the first $25 dollar of the prize item - the BIA will pay the $50 balance
So far, the following businesses have offered items for the baskets:
A Greener Place
Blink Beauty Bar by Sydney

Copper Kettle Cafe
Griffin Vintage Furniture & Gifts
Magnolia House Spa Salon Boutique
