A new shopping initiative is launching in York – with the chance to win £500!
Shop York is a brand new initiative designed to support local retailers during a traditionally quieter time of year, in a collaboration between York Bid and Indie York.
Featuring a stamp card system, it aims to encourage shoppers to explore the high street and support local businesses – with the chance to win some exciting prizes…
Shop York will take place during the entire month of February 2025. Shoppers will be able to collect a Shop York passport and earn stickers, with each transaction above £5 earning customers one sticker for their passport.
Shoppers who collect five stickers from five different retailers can enter a prize draw, with the top prize being a £500 York Gift Card.
Participating businesses will be promoted through the Shop York website and a marketing campaign showcasing all participants.
Rachel Bean, project manager at York Bid and Indie York Steering Committee member, said; “York is incredibly lucky to be home to a wide variety of brilliant shops.
“This event is a celebration of that, and we hope it will provide vital support to businesses in the quieter months.
“This brand-new event is a brilliant opportunity for retail businesses to engage with and attract new and returning customers.”
Shop York is open to retailers who are members of York Bid or Indie York. For those who aren’t members yet, there’s still time to join.
For retailers wanting to be part of this new initiative you must register by Monday 2 December. To register, visit the York Bid website.
