Shoppers are rewarded for every $25 purchase (in person or on line) with a chance to win $1000 weekly.

The more they SHOP, the better their chances to WIN!

“This contest has been an incredible gift by these two talented and generous women. Even some people that don’t normally go out of their way to shop local are telling me they came to my store because of the contest.”

Businesses get an impactful way to entice people to shop more, thank those who are already committed local shoppers and encourage the community to support them in other impactful ways. 

​

There are no fees or registration required for any business in a BIA to participate and they’re ALL automatically included. 

It’s no wonder then that over 95% of businesses want their BIA to run this contest again!

This contest was just what we needed. Our members felt supported by the BIA and the community. I can’t imagine a better event to have launched during this challenging time
for our small BIA of just 90 members. The $51,000 in
reported incremental spending was an amazing win under
such difficult conditions.

ABOUT US

This contest started as a passion project to help our local businesses at a critical time.

After the success of the first iteration in our beloved St. Clair West neighbourhood last spring we rebranded and expanded to serve other communities for the 2020 holiday season!

ShopLocal2Win is now helping over 800 businesses in three BIAs. With over 40 years of combined marketing experience and a passion for city-building it feels like we’ve been preparing for this moment our whole lives.
