It is Holiday Passport time in downtown Peterborough.
The DBIA has launched Holiday Shopping Passports and the Holiday Window Contest.
Communications & Marketing Manager, Hilary Flood, says running these types of programs are great ways to get consumers engaged in support local businesses.
Holiday Shopping Passports are now available at 150 participating shops, boutiques, salons, restaurants, and cafes in downtown Peterborough. Shoppers can expect to earn a passport stamp for every $10 you spend whenever you eat, shop, and support local in downtown Peterborough.
Flood adds every year, they seem to attract more and more participants.
Early bird draw dates will take place on December 7th, 14th & 21st for a $500 Boro gift card.
The final grand prize draw will take place after the holiday season on January 11th where one lucky passport holder will win a $1,500 Boro gift card shopping spree.
Executive Director Terry Guiel says the physical shopping experience and visual storytelling of the downtown business community is something you just can’t replicate online.
