The Greater North County Chamber of Commerce is sponsoring a “Shop Chamber First” promotion in October. Consumers who “Shop Chamber First” during the month of October will be eligible for a chance to win a Kindle Fire HD Tablet and other prizes at a drawing on Nov. 15.

The drawing is part of an awareness campaign launched this summer by the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce in coordination with the 2013 printing of the annual Greater North County Chamber of Commerce membership directory in July.  The campaign, which is sponsored by Christian Hospital, is designed to encourage more than 400 Chamber members and the public to “Shop Chamber First.”

Consumers who shop at a Chamber member business during October and mail copies of their receipts with their names and telephone numbers to the Chamber’s office will be eligible for the drawing.  Mailings must be sent to the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce, 420 West Washington Street, Florissant, MO 63031. Deadline for submission of receipts is November 10.

Participating members will display the “Shop Chamber First” decal in the windows of their businesses.  Consumers can also stop by the Chamber office to pick up a member directory.

“The purpose of this drawing, as well as the campaign itself, is to heighten awareness among area residents and consumers about the great breadth and scope of businesses that are available to shoppers in our North County community,” said Carolyn Marty, president of the Greater North County Chamber of Commerce.

“Our membership base has grown 40 percent since 2010,” added Marty. “We want North County residents to know about the many wonderful businesses and civic organizations that are located right here in our own area.”
