Dear Friends,
Do you offer your customers and clients anything special when they use
BerkShares? Do you do anything extra to encourage increased usage or reward
customers for their efforts to shop locally? Do you promote the fact that
you accept BerkShares in an effort to keep our local economy strong?
Let us know what you’re doing and we’ll share your efforts and ideas with
other BerkShares businesses. Future BerkShares Business Emails will include
brief announcements of special offers from BerkShares businesses. In this
way, you’ll get increased exposure and encourage new business at no cost to
you. We’ll excited to share incentives for others to help keep more
BerkShares in circulation, supporting our local economy and keeping it
strong. Just send an email to info@berkshares.org with “BerkShares Specials”
in the subject line and we’ll include your offer at the end of our next
email. Please see the first such offer from Locke Stock and Barrel at the
end of this email for an example, and note that each business is limited to
one mention, per special, per year.
Want to learn more? Visit www.berkshares.org for the current list of
participants, and plan to attend the next informational session on Monday,
January 26 at 5:30 pm at Brix Wine Bar in Pittsfield. Light refreshments
will be served and, of course, a fine selection from the bar at your own
cost. Registration is strongly suggested due to limited seating to
sharon@berkshares.org or 413-358-2692.
Space is limited, so if you plan to attend, please contact BerkShares
Executive Director, Sharon Palma, by emailing sharon@berkshares.org or
calling 413-358-2692. Our thanks to the Brix Wine Bar for graciously
providing space for this event.
Best wishes,
Sharon Palma for the BerkShares Team
