Valdosta Main Street’s annual ‘Love Downtown Valdosta’ campaign encourages residents to visit the downtown shops and restaurants during some of the slower spending months.

Release:

Valdosta Main Street is gearing up to kick off a month-long ‘Love Downtown Valdosta’ marketing campaign. This campaign will run through the entire month of February, from Monday, February 1 until Monday, February 28, and encourage residents to visit the downtown shops and restaurants in some of the slower spending months.

“February is generally a slower time for our downtown businesses. We are looking to help grow sales for our small businesses in the new year. The post- holiday lull is very real, and the Love Downtown campaign is structured to reward the shopper for spending local. Twenty-five dollars adds up very quickly and this program is in place to hopefully make a significant economic impact in our Downtown community,” said Main Street Manager Ellen Hill.

Residents can participate by visiting any of our local downtown businesses and making a $25 purchase. You can then scan the QR code located on Main Street’s website and event flyer to upload your receipt and be entered into a drawing. At the end of each week, Main Street will select a winner at random to receive a $50 gift card to a downtown business of their choosing. There will also be a grand prize at the end of the month consisting of $200 in downtown dollars.

If you have any questions, please contact Valdosta Main Street at 229-259-3577.
