Description of the Program:

TO:  All Employees, Estherville Area Chamber of Commerce Members

DATE:  May 2007

SUBJECT:  Shop Estherville First Discount Cards

 The local community appreciates the businesses that give back to Estherville by joining the Chamber, and by patronizing our local stores, businesses and restaurants.  To give back to all the Chamber Member employees that shop locally, the local Chamber business community is offering discounts to other local Chamber businesses and their employees, in appreciation for their business and to encourage those they may look to other towns for their goods and services before their hometown, to Shop Estherville First!  These cards are only available to Chamber Member employees!

Because your employer chooses to invest in the community and pays annual membership dues to the Chamber of Commerce, all employees get to enjoy the perks of being a Chamber Member!

Over 20 local businesses have enthusiastically joined us to offer discounts to show their appreciation! 

Included with this letter is your new “Shop Estherville First” discount card.

How to use the card:

• Keep the card in your wallet, and whenever you go to a store or restaurant, look for the blue & white poster that will advertise their current special, show them the card, and receive the discount!  It’s that easy!  All of the participating businesses are listed on the card, as well as, on our website at www.estherville.org.
• A business may change their special throughout the year by updating their laminated poster and notifying the Chamber Office of the change so we may post the new information.  Be sure to check back for new specials!  This card is good through September 30, 2007.  A new card will be issued at that time.
• We encourage you and all your employees to use the card whenever applicable to support the program and ensure sustainability in the future!
• This card is free and is offered because your employer pays annual membership dues in the Chamber of Commerce.  All of the member businesses will receive a card for each of their employees to use. 

Please contact the Chamber of Commerce office at 712-362-3541 with any comments or suggestions you may have to improve the program.  Please be patient with local businesses while their employees are being trained on the new program.
