Small business is the backbone of our local economy and it is up to all of us to support the businesses that make Wilton great! Please remember that with every purchase you make, it keeps their doors open and keeps their employees working (who are our neighbors, family and friends). It’s up to us to support them and they in return will be able to support our community!
Of the 18,000 + people who live in Wilton if only 4000 residents (less than 25%) spent $10 more a month on shopping local, they increase local sales by $480,000. According to recent statistics $.67 of every dollar goes back into the community. That’s over $321,000 back into the community through aiding local fundraisers, sports teams, schools, employing residents, etc.
See the recent campaign from American Express (in this post). Two of our local Wilton business (Bianco Rosso and Wilton Hardware) were featured in this ad and shows some of the hurdles that small business have had to over come in 2020. Click on image to view video.
Even during this very difficult time for our small businesses, they still serve their customers with a smile and generously sponsored prizes for our event. It truly shows the giving nature of our small business owners for their community! The two winners of the QR code scavenger hunt will each receive a $50 Chamber of Commerce gift certificate. These gift certificates are redeemable at many member businesses (see list HERE) and make great holiday gifts!
100% of the gift certificate amount goes directly to the local retailer and keeps the funds within our town’s small businesses. You can purchase our gift certificate totally contactless over the phone, 203-762-0567 or by email at info@wiltonchamber.com and have it shipped to you or an address of your choice. They can also be purchased locally at the Village Market or Fairfield County Bank (Wilton Branch only).
