i can’t even remember where i first heard of Supportland- but i just got an email that announced they are launching here in Portland in April! woo hoo.
What is Supportland? well – it’s a reward card that works across a multitude of local businesses. it’s all high-tech and i-phone ready. you can earn points when you shop/eat at participating businesses – and then you can redeem them at any participating business as well! it’s like a multi-functioning license to splurge.
(do you get the name now? SupPORTLAND? SUPPORTland? clever).
If you live here and own a business and want to know more – they are offering several presentations about how it works and how you can get involved on the ground level:
1. March 8th, 6:30pm at Zoomtopia (810 SE Belmont)
2. March 9th, 7:00pm at Laughing Plant (4110 SE Woodstock Blvd)
3. March 10th, 9:30pm at Zoomtopia (810 SE Belmont)
(if you can’t make an event – contact the Supportland folks)
anyhoo – i wanted to let local portland businesses and shoppers know about this wonderful idea and hopefully those of you in other cities will brainstorm how to make it work in your town.
