With discount incentives to shop local, there will be more ways to support and shop Floyd County businesses this Fall and holiday season from the comfort, convenience, and safety of your own home.
ShopFloydVA.com will go live on October 1, 2020. All Floyd County businesses with e-commerce will have the option to be listed on the site by category.
Both residents and Floyd fans can visit the site to connect with all Floyd e-commerce businesses. As long as the payment is made online, this will include businesses that can ship, as well as businesses with curb-side pick-up. Some Floyd restaurants will also be participating.
The first incentive will be a discount of $10 off any purchase over $30, redeemable from any of the businesses listed on the site. This incentive will run October 1 through November 9, and will be limited to one per customer, per business.
Each business will also offer one hundred business-specific coupons in an effort to spread the support for Floyd businesses. Shoppers interested in the discounts offered by specific businesses are encouraged to visit the site early, as popular businesses may run out of their coupons quickly. Even if this happens, all businesses will remain on the site, participating in other promotions, for the rest of the shopping season.
This promotion has been structured to encourage folks to shop and get discounts with many businesses, as opposed to getting a huge discount with just one. Customers can save hundreds of dollars when they shop with many. Shop with ten businesses and save $100. Shop with twenty and save $200!
Categories are extensive and include retail shops and art galleries, artisans, farm products, music, restaurant orders with curb-side pick-up, spirits, and even gift certificates for services like body work. On-line events, both entertaining and educational, will also be included, as well as general services and non-tourism businesses with e-commerce.
Together with CARES Act funds, this is part of Floyd County’s public safety initiative to support safe shopping, and to support Floyd businesses during a very different year. The program also offers technical assistance to businesses trying to establish an e-commerce presence.
“We are hoping to provide more support for our businesses this Fall and Holiday by setting up this e-commerce option,” says Floyd Tourism Director, Pat Sharkey. “As well as support customers so they can shop safely and conveniently from home for Floyd products anytime, regardless of limited store-front shop hours or Covid-19 issues. Given the year, we will run this campaign alongside a gentler tourism visitation promotion and then have the site continue in 2021.”
