Support Local with the Worthington Dollars E-Gift Cards
This month The Worthington Partnership and Experience Worthington are proud to announce the new Worthington Dollars E-Gift Card, a community-based digital gift card that makes it easy to shop local.
The Worthington Dollars electronic card helps you support locally owned businesses while giving you an easy option for gifts. Participating merchants receive the full value of each transaction. They’re perfect for individuals and businesses large and small looking for gifts to friends, family, co-workers, and employees.
“We’ve had success with the cards already,” says Chloe Beck, marketing manager from The Whitney House. “People have already used them. I’m looking forward to those large corporations and large companies discovering us; we’re hoping they come back for happy hour or dinner or to order catering.”
Beck also says that the Worthington Dollars program will help outsiders discover Worthington as more of a destination for all sorts of activities. “I’m most excited to get Worthington restaurants and retail on one page, being looked at as one destination,” says. “It still shocks me that we get people coming in that have never been here before or have never heard of us. I hope for Worthington this can drive momentum to continue working together for our whole community.”
What is it?
Worthington Dollars is an all-digital electronic gift card that you purchase online and spend at a growing list of local businesses (as of this writing, there are 35 participating, with more added regularly!). The E-Gift Card is always available on your phone, and also makes for great gifts for birthdays, holidays, teacher appreciation, coach gifts, or just to show your appreciation to a friend.
