Star Business Christmas Campaign Back To Support Locals

Local businesses are encouraged to get into the festive spirit early by registering for this year’s Glow2680 Star Business and Shopper Christmas Campaign.

Registration for businesses opens this week, with entry forms, boxes, stars and other promotional material available from Monday, October 21.

Running through November and the first two weeks of December, this campaign offers customers the chance to win a $500 grand prize or one of five $100 runner-up vouchers when they shop at a participating Star Business.

The vouchers can be redeemed at the business where the entry form was submitted.

The aim of the campaign is to inspire residents to shop locally, helping to navigate the Griffith economy during the festive season.

As part of the broader Glow2680 promotion, this initiative gives Star Business a chance to boost sales while offering shoppers the opportunity to win a Christmas bonus to spend in-store.

The campaign will be promoted on social media, including Instagram, and businesses are encouraged to use the hashtag #Glow2680.

Businesses can get involved by:

• Registering their business - receive a glow2680 Star Business sticker, entry forms, boxes and other promotional material;

• Decorating their store - light up shop windows with festive decorations;

• Sharing a social media - send photos of window displays to Council or use the #Glow2680 on your social media platforms;

• Engaging shoppers - hand out entry forms to customers who spend more than $15, with one entry per transaction; and

• Joining the sidewalk sale - register your business for the Christmas Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, December 7, via the Tourism Hub.

Shoppers can be involved by:

• Showing their local shop some love- visit participating Star Business from Monday, November 4 to Thursday, December 12 and look for the Glow2680 Star Business sticker and poster;

• Entering to win - fill out an entry form after spending $15 in-store (one entry per spend) to go in the draw to win the $500 first prize and five $100 runner-up vouchers at the participating Star Businesses that you shopped at; and

• Don’t miss the sale - get your Christmas shopping done during the Sidewalk Sale on Saturday, December 7.
