Seattle Southside Chamber’s Announces $500 Shop Local Contest for Customers and $1000 prize for Businesses
 
The Seattle Southside Chamber has announced the return of their $500 shop local incentive to encourage local customers to shop, dine and buy local. The shop local contest is part of Shop Small Saturday, a nationwide campaign to encourage support of local businesses.
 
Every time you shop, buy, or dine local from November 27^th through December 19^th, keep your receipt or proof of purchase and enter the details in an online form https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/82G78PL to be entered to win $500 cash. Each purchase is an additional chance to win!
 
This contest includes all types of purchases, including purchases in-store, to-go, and online. Additional chances to win will be added if the purchase was made at a Chamber Member location. One purchase has the potential to add up to 3 chances to win!
 
“Now, more than ever, we need to support our local businesses,” said Andrea Reay President/CEO of the Seattle Southside Chamber. “We’ve always been proud to be a Neighborhood Champion with American Express for Shop Small Saturday. This year, we’re proud to extend that out past Saturday the 27^th and truly have a Shop Small Season.”
 
Small businesses keep money in our community. For every $1 you spend at a small business, 67 cents stay in the local community. 44 cents go to the small business themselves for hiring employees and keeping jobs local and 23 cents is reinvested in other local businesses. That $1 creates an additional 50 cents of local economic impact. More information about the economic impact of shopping local can be found at score.org.
 
Local businesses need your help to remain resilient. This is why the Seattle Southside Chamber is also proud to announce that their Shop Local Contest also includes a $1,000 prize for a local business. The business where the winning purchase is made this year will receive up to $1,000 in marketing and promotion assistance from The Chamber and their partners.

Purchases must be dated from November 27^th through December 19^th and submitted via the online form no later than 11:59 PM on December 19^th to be eligible to win.
