The Chamber Bucks Program is a simple and effective way to bring more customers into your business while keeping dollars local. The Menard County Chamber of Commerce issues $10 ‘Chamber Bucks’ certificates that can be purchased by individuals or awarded as prizes through Chamber promotions. They can be used at any participating Chamber business — just like cash.
How it works
When a customer uses Chamber Bucks at your business:
- You accept them as payment (like cash)
- You turn them in to the Chamber treasurer
- You are reimbursed 100% of the value It is encouraged that the consumer uses the full amount to minimize the amount of cash a merchant must give back to the consumer.
Why participate?
- Drive new customers to your business: Chamber Bucks encourage people to shop local — and often bring in customers who may not have visited your business otherwise.
- Increase sales and exposure: Customers frequently spend more than the value of the certificate, giving you additional revenue opportunities.
- Keep dollars in Menard County: The program is designed to support local businesses and strengthen the local economy
- No cost to participate: The program is included as a benefit of Chamber membership.
