The Love Drogheda Gift Card hit a big milestone this week by reaching €500,000 in gift card sales since it was launched as part of a drive to support local shopping during the Covid pandemic.
There are still €136,000 worth of gift cards currently unredeemed, so if you have a gift card in your wallet, purse or cupboard, check the balance and spend it locally this week!
The Love Drogheda Gift Card operates on a 0% commission basis and there are no sign-up fees to the businesses meaning every euro spent in Drogheda with the Love Drogheda gift card is retained in the local economy- sustaining and supporting local employment whilst celebrating and championing the unique businesses in our town.
With 225 businesses participating businesses in Drogheda ranging from independent businesses to large brand-name retailers there is no better way to shop local.
Sales continue to be boosted through the Love Drogheda weekly online “Where To Spend It Wednesday” campaign across Love Drogheda social media channels, which gives us the opportunity to showcase the variety of businesses that accept the gift card, as well as spotlighting a different business each week.
Trevor Connolly Love Drogheda BID CEO said: “The Love Drogheda gift card makes for an incredible gift for loved-ones or as a thank you to staff, since it falls under the Small Benefits Exemption Scheme meaning a gift of up to €1000 per staff member can be made via gift cards tax free each year.
Love Drogheda BID Director Valerie Sherlock added “Presently, there is over €136,000 currently unredeemed, we are encouraging businesses to promote that you accept the gift card and for customers to spend locally using the gift card especially over the next few months, use the gift card as a way to treat yourself!”
