Bass Coast Shop Eat Love Local launches new campaign from 6 March to 30 September 2023
Bass Coast Shire launches Shop Eat Love Local to support local businesses, reduce spend leakage and strengthen the economy. Spend $20 for a chance to win a monthly $200 hamper.
Bass Coast Shire Council is proud to announce the launch of Shop Eat Love Local, our latest initiative to promote and support local business, with an exciting competition which we invite our entire community to get involved with! Shop Eat Love Local encourages residents to support local businesses, to strengthen the community's economy and address the spend leakage identified in the region.
Join us on this exciting 'Shop Eat Love Local' journey to celebrate the heart and soul of Bass Coast, where every purchase you make contributes to a thriving, sustainable and connected future
Boost in local economy
According to the council's state of the Shire report, 27% of resident's money is spent outside the region. This results in reduced employment opportunities, decreased economic growth and less investment in the local community. Shop Eat Love Local aims to tackle this issue by encouraging our community to support local businesses to invest in the local economy, which ultimately leads to a stronger, more vibrant Bass Coast community.
To launch our new campaign, council is running a competition from 6 March to 30 September 2023 for all our dedicated, local shoppers. Customers who spend $20 or more at participating local businesses can enter a monthly draw for a chance to win a $200 hamper of local products, provided by council.
Monthly prize draw
A random draw for winners will take place monthly, with prize winners announced via Shop Local and Make a Difference page and the Bass Coast Shire Council social media channels. 115 businesses across Bass Coast have already signed up to participate in the competition, and we invite more to join us.
By shopping locally, residents not only support these businesses and our local economy, but also contribute to a stronger, more resilient Bass Coast community. For more information, including how to enter, a list of participating businesses plus how to get involved if you are a local business, please visit the Shop Local and Make a Difference page.
