Shop Local BINGO | Jasper, AB
Before I talk about the game & giveaway, it’s important for me to outline WHY I’ve decided to do it. Jasper has some incredible small businesses. These businesses are a large part in what makes Jasper such a tight knit community. They’ve been there for us, some for longer than others, and now they need our help more than ever! The small business owners of this town are our close friends, associates, and colleagues. Supporting local businesses means keeping these businesses and the community members that operate them thriving. If you’re bored in quarantine and have been spending more time than usual shopping online, consider changing your habits to shop one of these local businesses instead. The future of Jasper depends on keeping these businesses open.
I know, these are hard times for everyone, but if you do find yourself looking for a place to spend some of that CERB cheque you just got, consider putting it back into the Canadian economy - and more specifically JASPER’S economy.
Looking for a way to help but don’t have the funds to support these businesses? Let’s use social media as a FREE marketing tool for our fellow community members & business owners. Here are a few ways you can help without spending a dime!
- SHARE your favourite posts, giveaways, sales or promotions from local businesses to your stories
- LIKE, COMMENT and ENGAGE in posts and stories
- POST photos of items you’ve previously purchased from these businesses, don’t forget to tag them!
Ok, now to the game & giveaway! It started off with me giving away a FREE 1 hour photography session for yourself or to gift to a friend. The session can be anything you’d like - family, couple, boudoir, you and your pet, you and your martini glass, you eating your homemade sourdough bread and drinking dalgona coffee in your pyjamas - your choice!
THEN, many local businesses wanted to get in on the fun and donated so many incredible prizes! Here’s the updated list (follow my Facebook & Instagram accounts for the most up to date list)
