Possibly one of the hardest challenges at Christmas time is deciding on what gift to give.
If you are at a loss or undecided, the answer could be as simple as a Why Leave Town gift card.
The Why Leave Town program is a winner for both businesses and customers with the money placed on the cards staying in the local community.
Since the start of the trial program in Murwillumbah in July, 324 cards have been issued with more than $23,000 loaded up for use across 57 businesses in the town.
Council’s Senior Economic Development Officer Kym Kranen said the program had been a great success.
“Businesses have been keen to become involved in the Why Leave Town campaign because they can see the benefits of encouraging locals to shop and spend locally,” Ms Kranen said.
“The cards are accepted by a wide variety of businesses which makes them ideal for this time of year, especially when doing some gift buying or even giving the cards as gifts.”
The Why Leave Town cards can be registered and are valid for 3 years. There are 2 locations in Murwillumbah where the cards can be ‘loaded’ with money – from a minimum of $10 to a maximum $1000 – at The Foundry Murwillumbah and TRAC Murwillumbah.
So this year, spread some Christmas cheer in more ways than one by participating in the Why Leave Town Murwillumbah campaign.
