This will promote shopping local for Christmas. A business <br /> will buy into the program and get a roll of tickets and each time the customer comes into <br /> the store and get at ticket for each $10 that spend. Great campaign to promote people in <br /> Paris to shop in Paris and get out of town shoppers to come shop in Paris to get these <br /> tickets and have a chance to win the prize money. Tuesday before Christmas is the best <br /> to do the drawing. Events are going on and other prizes are given out to keep people <br /> downtown for about 2 hours or so. CPA firm keeps up with the numbers and it will be <br /> announced that the ticket was bought at........and you have 5 minutes to get to the square. <br /> They have to be locally owned businesses. For example McDonald's could participate <br /> because it is a locally owned franchise. McAllister sold 800,000 tickets last year. Mindy <br /> & Cheri have already agreed to send out a letter to merchants. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 26 <br />
