Drive spend to Chamber members with a Local Gift Card

Chambers across the country are looking for ways to help their members take advantage of the rebound from Covid. Many small businesses have suffered and the danger is that people continue to spend with the big, national chains or online and the small, local businesses are left behind.

Now more than ever it's essential we do everything we can to drive spend for local businesses. Using the Visa network we can help you create a local currency that does just that.

The leaders of 2 existing programs, will take you through why they launched their local gift card programs and the economic benefits their members are realizing.

Prince Edward Island in Canada launched a similar program to help their locally owned businesses and will have sold $2m+ program in the first year. This money can only be spent locally. Kelly Murphy, who runs their program, will be on the webinar explaining how they achieved this.

Eric Hortness, the Executive Director of Greater Madison Chamber of Commerce launched a program 3 years and saw his program more than double in 2020. He will describe why that happened and what his program is doing for the greater Madison community.
