So, you're a customer of a business in Sparta? Well, we've got a few words to say to you!!!
THANK YOU!
Not only is shopping local more convenient than driving 15+ minutes out of your way to get the same thing, but it is also makes a huge difference. Every purchase you make is just like a VOTE for what you want your community to be- full of small, independent business owners who employ local folks who live around here OR a big box retailer who doesn't even know (or care) you exist. Now, we know, we all need certain things from big box stores, and nothing against them, but when you can CHOOSE to spend your dollars locally, you are infusing the money into our local economy, which makes for a stronger community! Our independent businesses are the ones who help support the local boy scout project, who buy the yearbook ad at the school, who sponsor our festivals and events, and who supports the sports teams. When you shop, eat, and get your services done at a local business, you're helping everyone in the community from the bottom up.
Sparta TODAY wanted to help our businesses THANK YOU for shopping local, so in the month of March, we are hosting a LUCKY & LOCAL promotion when you choose to spend locally you will get a SCRATCH OFF CARD that will either have a fun shop-local message when you scratch it off or have a PRIZE of Sparta Bucks! New to Sparta Bucks? Check it out HERE.
Who is handing out the Lucky & Local promotion Scratch-Off Cards? Well, whoever wants to! Every business has been invited, so if you stop in and they DON'T know about it, tell them to give us a call or email us at ddadirector@spartami.org, and we will get some cards down to them!
There is over $14,000 in Sparta Bucks gift certificates to win in March! That's a lot of BUCKS to potentially win!
