Shop Local Competitions

Win a prize and help a local business at the same time!

We run com­petitions to that support local businesses, by buying goods and services from them and offer­ing them as prizes.

Here's our theory: We need to advert­ise, like any business. We could spend $50 on a Facebook Ad, which would work, but doesn't help anyone else. In­stead, we spend that same $50 on a voucher for some­thing from a local business, and offer that as a prize. The business gets a sale, you get to win $50 of some­thing useful and we still get our advertis­ing re­sult. Everyone gets some­thing and hopeful­ly keeps local people em­ployed. Much better!

Here's how it works:

• People tell us what they'd like to win
• We purchase it from a local business
• We offer it as a prize to our re­aders
• Entry is free, but you need to sign in

Prizes are curr­ent­ly chosen by Sensational South Coast. As we get more feedback from our re­aders, prizes should be more specific to what people would like to win. We don't plan to support businesses outside the re­g­ion or large chain stores, un­less run by a local franchisee.

If you have a sugges­tion for a prize, or own a small business and are in­teres­ted in being in­volved, please con­tact us.
