Ararat heart of large service area
Ararat appears poised to enter a new era of regional enterprise and that can only be great news for shoppers across the region.
Ararat representative body Ararat Regional Business Association is set to undergo major revitalisation in response to a call-to-action gathering and everyday consumers have a major role to play.
The Weekly Advertiser and radio stations 3WM and MIXX FM are ramping up strong support for the western Victorian city and broader municipality through an annual regional ‘We Love’ campaign.
Ararat represents the business heart of a large service area and is also developing a reputation that is luring customers and clients from across the divide, keen to snap up shopping bargains.
The We Love Ararat shopping spree, part of a broad regional series targeting major cities and towns in the region, returns on Friday and continues a major effort to encourage Ararat district people to support their home-town businesses.
Ararat businesses have again responded to the opportunity and participating enterprises will offer a variety of bargains during a full day of promotional activities.
Again, there is a major incentive for shoppers to make the most of the occasion.
If they make a purchase when visiting businesses participating in the promotion they stand a chance of winning $250 shopping vouchers.
Two vouchers are up for grabs and people can enter by presenting their shopping receipts to representatives from The Weekly Advertiser, 3WM and MIXX FM at a broadcast site near Bendigo Bank in Barkly Street between 9am and 4.30pm.
