ARCHIVED - Albatera launches shopping voucher scheme to boost local trade
Shoppers in the Vega Baja town, Alicante province, can get twice as much for their money when buying locally
Albatera Town Hall is ploughing 150,000 euros into local commerce with a new consumer voucher campaign 'Yo me abono' that offers shoppers the chance to make savings whilst giving small businesses a much-needed boost.
Anybody aged over 18 and registered in the municipality can purchase a 15 euro voucher, which will be matched by the Town hall, meaning shoppers can spend 30 euros locally.
"This campaign is part of the Plan Reactiva with the sole intention of mitigating the devastating effect that the pandemic has had on all traders in the town. The council has launched many campaigns and aids, but appreciate that this is the moment to offer support in cash and put 300.000 euros in circulation in just one month in the municipality of Albatera," explained Mayor Ana Serna.
The vouchers can be used in all shops displaying a 'Yo me abono' poster in the window, with more local businesses expected to sign up to the campaign over the next few days. The initiative will also be publicised on the local authority's website and social media platforms, and through the media to attract as many voucher consumers as possible.
"I would encourage everyone to take part in this initiative, it's a way of helping each other and rowing together in support of our businesses to put an end to all this," added Serna.
Vouchers can be purchased at the Centro Sociocultural Reina Sofia (Queen Sofia Cultural Centre) in Calle Marquesa de Dos Aguas, from 9am to 1.30pm and 4pm to 7.30pm from Tuesday November 9. They can be redeemed in local shops and businesses until December 12.
