Shop Arlington First is an initiative of the Arlington Chamber of Commerce and proudly sponsored in 2010 by Leader Bank of Arlington. As a result of this sponsorship we are now able to offer this initiative as an additional value added benefit of your Chamber membership – at no additional cost to you!
Shop Arlington First is based around a gift certificate program that supports local businesses. Designed to encourage town area residents to "think local" when considering where to make purchases and to "shop local" whenever possible, our goal at the Chamber is to increase market share to our local businesses by increasing awareness about the personal and community benefits of choosing local.
The objectives of the program are to:
- Re-circulate more dollars in our community to promote a strong local economy
- Support and strengthen locally owned, independent businesses and local jobs
- Preserve and enhance our unique neighborhoods
To be a participating business simply “OPT IN” by sending an email entitled “OPT IN” to info@arlcc.org and sign up to participate in the Shop Arlington First initiative aimed to drive business to your door and encourage more dollars to remain in the local community. Your business will enjoy increased visibility with a listing on the Shop Arlington First web page, a direct link to your business web site and your business listing included on the Shop Arlington First insert included with each gift certificate folder. Deadline to be included in printed material is April 15, 2010.
Please support the Chamber in keeping business local, sustainable and growing and OPT IN now.
