Are you one of the 16,000 people that drive over the border every day to work?

Just imagine what it would mean to Queanbeyan businesses if you spent an extra $50 a week in any one of the numerous small businesses across the city, any ideas? It would mean a massive injection of over $41 million dollars into the local economy every year. The flow on effects of this are enormous, extra jobs, business growth, a much healthier, vibrant and attractive CBD area for new business creation, the list keeps going…

If every member of the community thought about that scenario, and made a conscious effort even monthly, the difference that would make for Queanbeyan’s CBD and surrounding shopping areas would be absolutely amazing.

It takes you to start the trend.

The 60 businesses that currently participate in the Queanbeyan Dollars shopping/gift card program would love to see your face this weekend. To find out where you can get your card and spend those dollars follow the link http://www.visitqueanbeyan.com.au/queanbeyan-dollars-shopping-card to find out more.

You might ask, ‘well, why should I use a Queanbeyan Dollars shopping/gift card, what’s in it for me?’

Quite a number of those 60 businesses have offers associated with the cards so everyone’s a winner!

For information on those offers, have a look at the Queanbeyan Dollars facebook page.

Just a little taste of some of those offers you’ll find are …

Main Street Shoes on Monaro St currently have a massive sale, if you have a Queanbeyan Dollars card you’ll receive an extra 5% off!  Ivory Essence on Crawford St have 10% off across the whole store and this weekend Alive Health & Fitness Gym have a huge 30th Birthday Open Day on Saturday the 30th of May with lots of great offers.

If you’re feeling lucky you could win a Queanbeyan Dollars card at the Queanbeyan Tigers Club Thursday lunch time raffle, have a spot of lunch at the bistro and try your luck.

Start the trend.
