Town of Riverview launches new shopping program to promote local businesses

RIVERVIEW (N.B.) – The Town of Riverview has launched a new shopping program to help local business owners increase customer traffic and sales amid challenging times.

Riverview Rewards is a loyalty-based shopping program that encourages shoppers to choose local first. Cardholders will have access to a number of deals and discounts throughout the year that can be redeemed in-store to further enhance their shopping experience, including special birthday offers and annual giveaways.

“While supporting local has always been important, our local economy needs that support now more than ever.” said Shane Thomson, Director of Economic Development.

The R Card will allow shoppers to cash in on a number of perks and promotions that are representative of the diverse businesses found in Riverview. Retailers, dining establishments and service providers will have the ability to customize their offers each month based on their needs and customer profiles.

“We are happy to be partnered with the Town of Riverview for this exciting new rewards program,” said Melissa Steeves, owner of The Magic Touch Grooming and Cattery and lifelong resident. “The Town of Riverview is uniquely special. We’re a small town with BIG community spirit. This program will highlight our strong network of businesses by putting Riverview first.”

Participating is free and the R Cards can be found at any participating business, Riverview Town Hall, or they can be ordered online to be mailed directly to your home. Visit RiverviewRewards.ca for more information.
