Christmas is fast approaching, and to get into the festive spirit The Maryborough District Advertiser’s annual Christmas Shopping Promotion is back.

The Addy’s promotion has been running for over three decades. It is one of the community’s most popular ‘shop local’ initiatives where retailers, businesses and customers come together to keep money in the community – and shoppers have the chance to share in a $6000 prize pool.

“We are calling for residents to look local first before they go out of town and take the time to explore businesses where they have never shopped before. More than 60 businesses are participating this year, shoppers just have to spend locally at one of those stores and fill out a ticket to be in the drawThe Advertiser’s Natalie Woods said.

Twenty people will take home Advertiser Shopping Vouchers as well as store vouchers over the next six weeks, with two major draws, the first next Thursday and the last on December 22. Winners in these draws will receive over $500 in vouchers.

“The added benefit to our retailers in participating is the opportunity for the vouchers people win to be spent back with them. Ideally they will see a great return for their investment and it keeps all the prize money circulating in Maryborough,” Ms Woods said.

The Advertiser runs the promotion for the benefit of the community at no profit. A $2100 contribution was made by the Central Goldfields Shire Council to support the running of the promotion.

Tis the season to shop locally, look out for posters in store windows to know where to shop.
