Wolverhampton BID
launched the Enjoy Wolverhampton City Centre Gift Card in September to support
city centre businesses and keep spending in the city and have now released a
short video showcasing the Gift Card, along with the city centre businesses that
accept the card. The card can be used like any gift card but is so much
more flexible than a ‘single store’ gift card, it can be spent in any of the
125 businesses that accept it in Wolverhampton City Centre and it helps the
local economy at the same time.
City centre
businesses have embraced the card which is accepted in both big brands and
independents with just over half of the 125 businesses that accept the card
being small independent businesses ranging from jewellers, gift shops,
retailers, cafes and bars through to beauty salons and hairdressers.
The short video
highlights the ‘shop local’ message and by releasing the video on Small
Business Saturday we hope to reach a wide audience to raise the profile of our
city and its businesses.
With so many places
to spend the gift card, it would make the perfect Christmas present. You can
buy one online at www.enjoywolverhamptongiftcard.com and
load the card to the value you want to give. The card can be posted directly to
you or you can collect the card from 3 strategically located city centre
businesses the next day. You can also buy it directly from T.A. Henn on
Princess Street.
The card not only
offers a great present for whoever you give it to, as they can choose how they
spend it to suit them. From handbags, shoes, the latest fashion through to
gadgets and homeware the card can be used for a pamper or manicure, to catching
a film at the Light House, seeing a show at the Grand Theatre to treating
themselves to a meal out or a cocktail or two and whilst doing all this the
card also supports Wolverhampton City Centre businesses.
You can find the
full details of all the 125 businesses that accept the Wolverhampton City
Centre Gift Card at www.enjoywolverhamptongiftcard.com
Cherry Shine, Director of Wolverhampton BID, said: “Not only does the
