Small businesses are the beating heart of the U.S. economy, but with each passing year more and more of our small businesses go under. This year The Cordell Beacon will be launching our first-ever small business promotion, encouraging our readers to shop at local merchants and restaurants.

Beginning Nov. 13, 2019, and running through Dec. 18, 2019, Beacon readers who make a purchase at one of our participating merchants can enter their receipt into a drawing to win a $50 cash prize. Every Monday through Dec. 16, 2019, the Beacon will draw one receipt from our entry box and announce the $50 winner in Wednesday’s newspaper.

“We wanted to do something different to help our local businesses,” said Beacon advertising sales representative Robyn England. “Nothing helps a local business more than new customers, so we’re hoping this will drive more shoppers into local stores instead of going out of town or online. There is no limit on the number of entries or the number of times a person can win, so the more you shop at local businesses, the more chances you have to pick up an extra $50.”

Receipts must be dated on or after Nov. 13, 2019, and must be from one of the participating merchants included on the promotional advertisement in order to qualify for the drawing.
