It’s not just science fiction anymore...now, from the comfort of our own quarantines, we can participate in a local movement unlike any other.
It’s not just science fiction anymore...now, from the comfort of our own quarantines, we can participate in a local movement unlike any other.
Introducing Grow The (360), a community-wide certificate program geared toward (you guessed it) shopping locally! SW Washington retailers, restaurants, boutique salons, and gift-able service providers can all participate in this no-cost program created to support the community now, and in the future.
We’re making it easy for our neighbors to contribute to the success of our local economy in more ways that just one. With Grow The (360) as a participating merchant you’ll be able to:
- Be a part of a historical movement in SW Washington!
- Redeem certificates gifted to employees, friends, and family. Since one certificate can be used at any of the participating businesses, our entire community reaps the benefits of the “shop local” program!
- Purchasers will be able to buy and gift the certificates online, all in the same place.
- Offer deals and exclusive products to those who receive and redeem their Grow The (360) certificates!
- Participate in Clark County’s Official Shop Local Currency program supporting our SW Washington businesses!
Hard to believe it’s true? Go to VancouverUSA.com/GrowThe360 to learn more about this community currency, and to sign up to become a participating merchant. In less than two weeks, the certificate portal will be available offering gift certificates to be purchased online!
We encourage you to forward this email to your favorite restaurants, boutiques, and gift-able service providers to be a part of this no-cost, community-wide program!
