BACKGROUND:
In efforts to feature “Shopping Local” as a more prominent aspect of Greenport Shellabration, we have been exploring alternative ways to involve and promote merchants.
OPPORTUNITIES:
We are offering 3 options for participation this year, you can choose to participate in all, some, or none of these promotions. If you are interested in being involved, you must confirm your participation by November 1st in order to ensure inclusion of your business on our printed listings and allow us to effectively promote this aspect of Shellabration. We cannot guarantee inclusion of your promotion if information is received past this date.
Option 1: 10% BACK TO THE BAYS
Merchants signing up for this promotion agree to donate 10% of proceeds from purchases made during Shellabration weekend to Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County. This will be considered a tax-deductible contribution, and an official contribution letter will be sent upon receipt of check. Special marketing and signage will be produced showcasing the merchants choosing to be involved with this specific promotion!
Option 2: 15% DISCOUNT
Merchants signing up for this promotion will provide a 15% discount to all shoppers who show their wristband. If there are specific items that you want to exclude from the 15% discount, please provide details in the form below.
Option 3: CUSTOMIZED PROMOTION
Merchants seeking to offer a specific promotion, in addition to or instead of the two options listed above may do so. Please provide details as to the deal(s) you will be offering on the Participation Form so we can include details about it on our “Shellabration shopping deals” listing.
MARKETING:
This event is expected to draw 1,500 participants each year. We have extensive mailing lists and numerous social media outlets and websites where information on shopping opportunities will be listed. We will also include a special shopping insert in the Route Map that will allow for all Shellabrants to have information about merchant promotions in-hand to refer to during their time in Greenport as well as a Google Map showing merchant promotions and store locations. We hope that some combination of the available participation options will work for your business, and look forward to your participation in this event!
