Free Money back for Holidays 2009 in Collingswood!

Collingswood will give away more free money for visitors that dedicate their holiday dollars to Borough merchants by extending their popular Collingswood Cash promotion.

On November 23 Collingswood kicked off a campaign to give away a bonus $10 with every $50 of Collingswood Cash purchased. By December 3 the promotion sold out; Customers purchased $100,000 worth of gift certificates to spend in town and gotten $20,000 for free along with it. The Borough’s Business Improvement District (BID) has approved another round of $100,000 Collingswood Cash to sell and $20,000 to give away to shoppers. Round two is already selling at the same locations – Borough Hall, 1st Colonial National Bank and Sun Bank.

“We’re encouraging people to spend their dollars in our town and they have shown us they are more than happy to do so,” said Mayor James Maley.

If the second round sells out, the promotion assures that at least $240,000 will be spent at Collingswood merchants and services. Last year, the Borough sold $280,000 worth of Collingswood Cash during the free money promotion, channeling a total of half a million dollars back to business districts in town for the last two winters.

 

Shoppers can use the gift certificates to give as gifts, for big ticket items, planning events (an event dinner at a local restaurant, showers, birthdays), floral arrangements, vacations, gifts, anything, all for $10 extra with each $50 spent. All merchants in town accept Collingswood cash, the standard certificates last forever, but the bonus cash expires on March 31, 2010. The program is subject to limitations. Details for the 2009 promotion will be available at Collingswood.com soon. Last year the promotion was so popular, the limited amount of bonus Collingswood Cash sold out in hours. It’s a deal you can’t beat when buying your holiday gifts, making Collingswood that much more enticing for the season.
