Ballina Retailers have launched the 4th Annual Christmas Cracker Bonanza Draw. With €10,000’s worth of Vouchers from local businesses up for grabs, this is a fantastic way of rewarding your loyal customers. All you must do is donate €100 in €10 or €20 vouchers.
We mix and match the vouchers so a lucky winner has the chance of winning €100 worth of vouchers from a variety of local businesses. The winner returns to your business, spends their voucher and may add to the voucher. But the best thing is, as well as generating additional revenue from your voucher, your business may also get new customers!
We would appeal to all Businesses to drop their vouchers into the Tourist Office (Across from Jackie Clarke Collection). You can start rewarding your customers straight away with early entry into the Xmas Draw. Posters and Draw cards are now appearing around the town of Ballina.
