SUPPORT LOCAL WITH LOVE OBAN VOUCHERS
Where can you spend your Christmas Love Oban vouchers?
Many people received Love Oban gift vouchers at Christmas, but where do you spend them? More than 80 Oban businesses accept the vouchers. From florists to a tasty treat, Oban is brimming with fantastic places to spend your vouchers. This week we have listed just some of them. Love Oban vouchers, also known as the Oban Pound, were set up by BID4Oban to encourage spending in local shops, restaurants and businesses. ‘The highly successful initiative helps keep money in Oban,’ said BID4Oban chief executive Andrew Spence. ‘We have a lot of new local businesses opening in the town. Given what we have just been through, it’s clear the town is extremely vibrant and people have got the confidence to invest in Oban. We are a destination town and a key hub.’
Why should a business accept the vouchers?
When asked, Andrew Spence from BID4Oban said ‘Love Oban Vouchers support local businesses. They have generated significant sales over the last nine years and encourage customers to Shop Local, Use Local and Buy Local. The face value of the vouchers can be redeemed by the participating business and we aim to credit your account within one week. The scheme is easy to use with minimal paperwork. Any business that wants to accept them can do so by contacting Kay or Andy at the BID4Oban Office.’
