ENFIELD/EAST HANTS: Shop East Hants is a multi-faceted campaign designed to drive traffic to local stores, and raise awareness of local offerings.
Highlights of the campaign, which will run until the holiday season, include social media pages (@shopeasthants on FB and @shopeh.ca on Instagram) where almost daily giveaways are taking place; a video submission contest where the winner (decided by the public) walks away with $1,000 to spend locally.
Other highlights include a travelling bear named Hope who visits businesses and offers customers the chance to win just by snapping a pic, and a “passport”, which is a sticker card that, once filled with six different stickers which are all photographs taken by Lori Simmonds Photography, can be deposited at a ballot box for a chance to win local gift cards.
Hope, the roaming East Hants Bear, will be visiting businesses all over our area this fall, bringing daily chances for you to win.
Each morning, the business or organization hosting Hope will post a photo to social media. We’ll share that photo, you go get a photo with, or of, Hope, put it on Facebook or Instagram, tag @shopeh, and you’re entered to win a gift certificate to a local business. You can enter every single day.
