Shoppers will have even more chances to win hundreds of dollars worth
of prizes this year!
Shop Local in
Downtown Greenville to Win
GREENVILLE, Ohio- This holiday season, shoppers can earn chances to win
hundreds of dollars in merchandise and gift certificates through “Win
the Window,” a shop local campaign by Main Street Greenville and Second
National Bank.
"This promotion was created to encourage and remind people to shop
local during the holiday season and to support our downtown
businesses," said Crysta Hutchinson Bloomingdale, Executive Director
for Main Street Greenville.
Between November 23rd- December 8th, shoppers can enter to win by
spending money at any of the participating downtown Greenville
businesses. Find the list of participating businesses and prizes on the
Main Street Greenville website, www.mainstreetgreenville.org.
Participating businesses have provided merchandise and gift
certificates to place under the Christmas tree in Main Street
Greenville’s window, located in the Darke County Welcome Center at 421
S. Broadway.
Shoppers will get a ticket entry for every $5 they spend at a
participating downtown business, up to single purchases of $1,000. For
example, if you spend $100 at a business, you will receive 20 tickets
to enter into the contest to win the window of prizes. There is no
limit to how many times you can shop to enter. The more you spend
downtown at participating businesses, the more chances you have to win
the window full of prizes!
New to the contest this year, there will be multiple winners! The
bounty of merchandise and gift certificates has been divided into
categories such as home decor, hair care, apparel, and food &
drink. Each category will have a winner for a grand total of 4 chances
to win! Your chances are better than ever this year, so make sure you
get your entries in!
Participating businesses will have tickets available at the time of
your purchases and a glass jar to collect all of the tickets for the
drawing. The drawing for the winners will take place on Wednesday,
December 12th at 3:30 pm at the Main Street Greenville office, located
in the Darke County Welcome Center at 421 S. Broadway. You are not
required to be present to win.
In conjunction with the Win the Window contest, Main Street Greenville
is once again serving as a Neighborhood Champion for Small Business
Saturday on November 24th! Small Business Saturday is an American
shopping holiday held on the Saturday after U.S. Thanksgiving during
one of the busiest shopping periods of the year. First observed in
2010, it is a counterpart to Black Friday and Cyber Monday, which
feature big box retail and e-commerce stores respectively.
By contrast, Small Business Saturday encourages holiday shoppers
to patronize brick and mortar businesses that are small and local.
To help celebrate the day downtown Greenville the following events are
scheduled:
· All Day: Shop and dine at participating businesses to be entered into
our Win the Window Contest!
· 10 am - 4 pm: Small Business Bingo! Use the image Main Street
Greenville will provide on Facebook to play small business bingo. When
you've completed a row, bring your receipts to the Darke County Welcome
Center and be entered for a chance to win a $25 giftcard to your
favorite downtown business!
· 10 am - 4 pm: The first 175 shoppers who visit Main Street
Greenville's office at the Darke County Welcome Center (located
directly next to KitchenAid Experience) and show their receipts, will
receive a FREE Shop Small Canvas Bag and goodies from our event
sponsor, Second National Bank!
· 10 am - 4 pm: Bring in your items purchased at downtown businesses
for free gift wrapping!
· 12 pm - 2 pm: FREE Horse Carriage rides throughout historic downtown
Greenville. Rides begin in front of the Darke County Courthouse.
Bring your holiday shopping downtown this year and enter to win big
while supporting local businesses in the process!
