ALL BIA members are automatically included - retailers, restaurants, service providers!  

For the 6 weeks from Nov. 3 - Dec. 14/25, there will be a weekly $5,000 draw from all receipts of $15 or more submitted to the contest website—whether customers pay by cash, credit card, or debit.

If the winner paid with Interac® Debit, they’ll also receive a bonus of $5,000 - making their total prize $10,000!

In addition, if the weekly winner is YOUR customer/client you will also win!  You will receive $2,000! Please note: if your business is a chain then you would not be eligible to win the $2k - the winner will be asked to select another independent business to receive the $2k.

Every Receipt of $15 or more = One Entry.  People can submit more than 1 entry each week.

I will be dropping off promotional materials towards the end of this week so you have them ready to go when the contest launches next Monday, Nov. 3.  I will also share a prepared social media file later this week so you can promote the contest on your own platforms.

Since entries don’t carry over, customers will need new receipts to enter each of the six weekly draws taking place on Nov. 11, 18 and 25 + Dec. 2, 9 and 16.

Please use this opportunity to:

1. Create a sense of excitement for people to shop, dine or use your services before December 14. 

2. Encourage customers to pay with Interac® Debit so they don’t miss out on the $5,000 bonus if they win.

As always, if you have any questions don't hesitate to contact me. 

Thanks,
