GO Local & WIn! campaign returns to South Lake Tahoe this holiday season

The Tahoe Chamber's GO Local & Win! campaign is returning to South Lake Tahoe for the 2018 holiday season. Starting on Small Business Saturday, November 24, the campaign is for business owners and operators, and local shoppers and diners.

Last year’s campaign was a success in increasing spending in our community throughout the holiday season thanks to the help of our 68 participating businesses, which included local restaurants, retailers, and recreation. Those that participate in the campaign, collect a stamp for every $25 spent on their GO Local & Win passports throughout the holiday season. Last year the Tahoe Chamber received over 70 completed passports, representing almost $20,000 dollars spent locally. This year, the Chamber aims to increase that spending by getting more people to GO Local and in more ways.

For businesses this is an opportunity promote brands, expand their customer base, and connect with customers in a fun, interactive way.

For locals and visitors it is a fun way to try and win while trying unique shops, restaurants and retailers, all while supporting the local economy and businesses.

A new app will be integrated into this year’s GO Local & Win! Campaign. The “Snaptown” app will allow consumers to use their phones to collect stamps from participating businesses instead of having to use a paper passport. Paper passports will still be available, but when you join the GO Local Tahoe group on the app instead, guests will be able to find businesses more easily, search for new locations to collect their digital stamps and have the chance to win more prizes. All businesses that sign up to participate in GO Local will have the opportunity to set up their own business profile on the Snaptown app. To learn more about the GO Local program or to sign up to be a GO Local business, visit, TahoeChamber.org. Business participation in the GO Local campaign is free for Tahoe Chamber members, and $75 for non-members.

Sign up to participate before November 21, to get your business listed today. For more information, visit https://tahoechamber.org/go-local-win-participating-business/.
