In an effort to boost the local economy, promote local businesses and chamber members, the San Dimas Chamber of Commerce has created a Shop Local Campaign
Here are some tips on how you can boost your sales during the campaign
Print the Shop Local Flyer and post it at your check-out counter, on your business window and hand it out to your customers.
Encourage your customers, employees, friends and family to collect their receipts and submit them to the San Dimas Chamber of Commerce Office during the campaign. (For every $150 in receipts spent in San Dimas and submitted to the San Dimas Chamber of Commerce, you will receive an entry form for the Free Shop Local Campaign Drawing. If any receipts are from a San Dimas Chamber of Commerce Business Member, located in San Dimas or a surrounding city, you will receive an extra entry form.)
Share this campaign with your sales staff. Use the Chance to Win over $500 in Prizes as a great incentive to help close a sale.
Post Hot Deals on the Chamber’s website with special offers. Because of the extra traffic we will be generating during the campaign this is the perfect way to add a lot of visibility for your business. Learn How to Post a Hot Deal

Display flyers and business cards in the San Dimas Chamber office. We anticipate a great deal of foot traffic in the office during the campaign and members have the benefit of displaying their information for people to see and pick up.
