Let's Get Vocal About Local

A few ways we've been keeping local top of mind
#LoveLocalPtbo
The Big Spend
From March - June 2020 the Peterborough Chamber ran a social media campaign to highlight our members to the community. 

We encourage residents to continue to keep our local businesses top of mind.

The purpose of the yearly #LoveLocalPtbo campaign is simple - we want to celebrate and support businesses and organizations operating in Peterborough. Our local businesses create jobs, support local charities, and contribute to the unique nature of our community.  In Peterborough, the business community represents about 30% of the tax bill.  This is tens of millions of dollars that goes directly back into our community!

The 2020 #LoveLocalPtbo Campaign is now underway
These banners (right) featuring 46 member business logos will be placed at every chamber event throughout the year. Members attending the events put their business card in the fishbowl (or facsimile thereof) and a draw for $1000 to spend at any or all campaign sponsors happens at the December PBX. 

If you are one of sponsors don't forget to connect with us to book your 60-120 second video profile highlighting YOUR business!

It's also a Social Media campaign: The community is encouraged to use the #LoveLocalPtbo to highlight their positive consumer experiences.
