SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – The Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce would like to thank the businesses that participated in the 5th Annual Springfield Holiday Local Loyalty Program! Special thanks also to our Friend of the Program sponsors: Cota & Cota, HB Energy Solutions, Your Hometown Classic Hits WCFR 106.5, and Whidden Law Office, LLC for helping us to make the whole thing possible. Stamp cards with $100 values were distributed to the participating businesses so that shoppers could receive stamps in exchange for dollars spent. Each time a shopper filled a card, they could enter it into any of the raffles being offered by the merchants. Each merchant collected completed stamp cards for their raffles, and in the end, we tallied up all the completed cards valued at more than $158,700. (And that’s not counting all the partially completed cards). We couldn’t be more thrilled about how well things went this year and we certainly hope the program gave our wonderful businesses a bit of a boost.
We received lots of positive feedback from the participating businesses as well as the folks doing the shopping – it was fun to see everyone getting excited. We were so grateful to be able to bring this fun program to the Springfield area again this winter, and we were blown away by the enthusiasm of local shoppers – thank you to everyone who got involved and assisted us in the collective endeavor to #shoplocal, #lovelocal, and #dinelocal this past holiday season!
