Locals Rally Behind Shop The Burdekin Gift Cards

The Burdekin Chamber recently closed out the month of March with a commendable achievement in the way of the group’s Shop the Burdekin Gift Cards!

A primary focus of the Burdekin Chamber has always been to encourage and promote “shop local” initiatives to further foster intercommunity networking and development. In doing so, the Chamber introduced Burdekin Gift Cards some years ago as a closed-loop gift card program which can be purchased from and redeemed only at participating local businesses who are also valued members of the Chamber.

Since the program was launched, more than $100,000 has been loaded onto the cards, directly benefiting the local economy and this March, $1,180 worth of Burdekin Gift Cards were purchased within the community!

With over 50 participating local businesses to shop with, Shop the Burdekin Gift Cards are a fantastic way to support the local economy and shop local.
