DOVER—
The “Shop Dover First” campaign is an effort by the Greater Dover Chamber of Commerce to promote and quantify local spending. With every local purchase, consumers can enter to win one of three local shopping sprees, valued at up to $2,500.
This campaign is underway now through the end of December, with corporate support from Federal Savings Bank, and creative services for point-of-sale materials provided by Lucy’s Art Emporium.
Shoppers are encouraged to enter all purchases, regardless of dollar amount, for all purchases made in the Dover area. Consumers can submit entries at any local business displaying a white “Shop Dover First” entry box, or online at the Chamber’s website, dovernh.org.
“Local business owners invest in the community and have a vested interest in the future of Dover,” said Kirt Schuman, Executive Director of the Chamber. ““Shop Dover First” is an effort to support them. Each and every dollar spent at a local business is spent about a dozen times before it leaves our community. By patronizing local businesses, you are helping to keep your favorite establishments open while contributing to the vitality of the Dover economy.”
Eligible local purchases are not limited to retail products, but also include everyday expenses such as gasoline, groceries, coffee, prescriptions, meals and dining, as well as services such as dry cleaning, haircuts, vehicle registrations, doctor’s office visits, and ATM fees.
To encourage consumer participation, three “shopping spree” gift packages will be given away during the campaign. These packages contain gift certificates for an extensive array of products and professional services that have been graciously donated by Chamber member businesses. Prizes will be awarded on November 1st, December 1st, and the Grand Prize drawing, worth over $2,500, will be held on December 17th, with winners being notified by phone or email after each prize drawing.
Any local businesses that would like to get involved with the “Shop Dover First” campaign are highly encouraged to contact the Chamber for more information.
