Sponsorship opportunities available for 'Shop Rome First'

ROME ? Sponsorship opportunities are available until Sept. 28 for this year?s 11th annual ?Shop Rome First? Christmas holiday promotion.

Since 2002, dozens of lucky shoppers have won more than $100,000 in prizes donated by Rome businesses with the Chamber?s holiday ?Shop Rome First?and Win!? contest promotion.

Rome?s December sales tax revenues have consistently risen since the start of Shop Rome First. Now during its 11th year, the holiday contest will again entice shoppers to find gifts and products locally, minimize driving expenses, and win big, according to Chamber representatives.

This year between Nov. 22 and Dec. 21 shoppers will be able enter to win valuable prizes each time they visit a participating business.

The Rome Chamber uses e-mail reminders during the Christmas promotion to shoppers who have requested more information about shopping in Rome and throughout the year. Daily updates also reach Facebook and Twitter fans during the Christmas promotion as well.

The Rome Chamber uses promotions for the Shop Rome First through the Friday faxes, e-mail updates, and direct mail member updates.

Shop Rome First provides tools to encourage shoppers to find products and services locally, before they order online or travel to other commercial hubs in the region and beyond. Continued...

Chamber officials added that the community benefits each time a local purchase keeps sales tax dollars in Rome.

Sponsors will benefit from increased visibility during this peak shopping season, prominently mentioned in many venues that will be used to drive traffic into the stores, according to Chamber representatives.

Sponsors will also be mentioned in all of the regional promotions for a six-week pre-holiday period starting in November through Christmas and in year-round promotions through October 2013.

To be included in all promotions, the deadline is Sept. 28.
