Shopping and making purchases at local businesses could lead a local consumer to $1,000 in cash, courtesy of the Estevan Mercury publications and local businesses.
A new contest with simple rules, is coming to Estevan next week and all a potential customer has to do is show up at a local participating business and do a little browsing and shopping.
Entry tickets for the contest will be found in the weekend editions of 小蓝视频east Lifestyles for the duration of the contest.
鈥淚t鈥檚 about doing things locally and supporting the local businesses. Support and win locally,鈥 said Mercury/Lifestyles marketing representative Deanna Tarnes, in explaining the contest. 鈥淓stevan is a great place, and this will prove it.鈥
It has been pointed out by community supporters that it鈥檚 the local businesses that are the cornerstones for all the city鈥檚 promotions. Every cause, committee, or sports team relies on the local businesses for support in one form or another whether it be through raffle items, work-in-kind or cash donations, it鈥檚 the local businesses that are continually stepping up to be counted on, in good and bad economic times.
Local consumer support means local businesses can continue to contribute.
Based on that fact, the Mercury, Estevan鈥檚 oldest continuous business, is acknowledging and featuring these businesses through the local contest and business profiles over the next 13 weeks. The business profiles will be featured within the pages of 小蓝视频east Lifestyles and on the Mercury鈥檚 social outposts, Facebook and Twitter.
Check the Lifestyles pages over these weeks for your ticket to a chance to win some cash.
The participating businesses have also indicated that entry tickets will be made available to customers in-store as well for shoppers鈥 convenience.
