Chamber creates shop local initiative
Chamber of Commerce information
The Van Wert Area Chamber of Commerce is driven to help the community build economic success. This mission is the foundation of the Chamber’s new “Shop Van Wert County” Initiative.
It’s more than a movement, more than a one-day promotional campaign: the Van Wert Chamber is excited to partner with all Van Wert County businesses to encourage county residents and visitors to shop smart and shop Van Wert County.
To support this initiative, the Chamber has introduced open registration for its “Shop Van Wert County Local Deals” booklet.
County businesses are invited to be part of a “Local Deals” booklet that will offer coupons and other promotions. Local residents and visitors will receive the booklet free of charge and distribution will target county residents and visitors to the community. The initial print quantity will be 7,500, with additional printed as needed.
It’s an everyday decision where to spend those hard-earned dollars, whether it’s for the home or a business. Local residents have a choice of where they eat, shop for a car or purchase gifts. Let’s encourage the community to shop local. Make it an easier decision for residents and visitors by taking part in this “Shop Van Wert County Local Deals” booklet.
Businesses that participate in the booklet will not only encourage potential customers to visit their business, but will receive the following by taking part:
- Business promotion
- Branding
- Marketing
- Local community image enhancement
Participation is limited to the first 50 businesses that register for the Local Deals booklet. The fee is $75 for Chamber members and $150 for non-Chamber members. All coupon/ad artwork is included in the fee. The registration deadline is December 3. Contact the Chamber at 419.238.4390 or go to chamber@vanwertchamber.com for additional information.
