In June, we launched an initiative to keep local dollars in our local economy with the Celebrate Stratford Gift Card. To date we’ve generated over $8,000 in card sales, and our top 5 businesses with the most redemptions are: Cricket Car Hop with 24, Drowsy Whaler with 16, Mellow Monkey with 15, Del Mar Pizzeria with 15, and Open Door Tea with 12!
The Celebrate Stratford Gift Card works at dozens of local businesses through Mastercard, and is ready to tap right from your Apple or Google Wallet. By using the link, you can purchase a gift card, and use it at any of the over 30 participating Stratford businesses.
We are still running our BOGO promotion where purchasers can get 25% extra value:
Buy a $100 card → get a $25 bonus card
Buy a $50 card → get a $12.50 bonus card
Buy a $25 card → get a $6.25 bonus card
Celebrate Stratford Card:
The purpose of the Celebrate Stratford Card is simple: to keep more spending local, introduce customers to Stratford businesses and strengthen our local economy.
The card makes it easy to support a growing variety of Stratford restaurants, shops and services.. all while giving the recipient the freedom to choose where to spend it.
We’ve received some thoughtful questions about how the program works, so we wanted to share a little more information
Why purchase a Celebrate Stratford Card instead of spending directly at one business?
Both are wonderful ways to support local businesses. The Celebrate Stratford Card also makes a great gift, offers the recipient more choices and encourages people to discover businesses throughout Stratford. During promotional periods, it provides even more spending power to use locally.
Does the value purchased on a Celebrate Stratford Card expire?
No. The regular Celebrate Stratford Card is a prepaid Mastercard that can be used at participating independent Stratford businesses. The funds purchased on the card do not expire.
