The program is designed to increase customer traffic in St Joseph businesses and brings incentives for customers to shop locally.
The program is growing as customers catch on to the appealing $10,000 prize, Chamber of Commerce CEO Ted Allison said.
“We watch the numbers grow each year. So people are catching on to this and that’s why we continue to be excited,” Allison said. “It’s really designed to keep people thinking about the local economy.”
Allison says this year more than 60 businesses are participating in the Shop St Joseph Campaign.
No purchase is required to win, but one ticket for every $10 will be given to customers. Customers can also get one free ticket from each merchant. The drawling for the $10,000 grand prize is December 19th.
