"A
Great Place To Shop" began in 1997 as a way the Chamber of
Commerce and the Chamber's Small Business Council could promote shopping
locally. All Chamber members are invited to participate as redeeming
merchants. Recipients of the gift certificates may redeem them for clothing,
gift items, household items, furniture, collectibles, printing and film
development, dental work, tires, groceries, pet needs at our local animal
hospital, and much more.
There is NO
COST to participating merchants who redeem the certificates (Chamber Bucks), but it is a
GREAT WAY to get customers into your establishment to shop locally.
Merchants simply return the redeemed certificates (Chamber Bucks) to the Chamber office and
are reimbursed for the full face value. Participating merchants are listed
in a brochure that is given with each certificate and also listed on our web site as
"Locations to spend Shop Thomaston Certificates."
Local
employers have used our gift certificates (Chamber Bucks) for holiday bonuses,
employee incentives, and safety awards. They are also great
gift ideas for graduation, door prizes, birthdays, coaches, holidays, and a well
deserved Thank-You! Gift certificates are available in $10, $15, and $25
increments. However, we will do special printings for companies who
purchase large quantities of certificates. This program has been a success
for both the Chamber of Commerce and our local Small Business members.
