The Aiken Chamber of Commerce is spreading cheer with its annual Red Ticket Campaign, now in its fifth year. From November 1 to December 15, shoppers earn one red ticket for every $25 spent at participating local businesses. Each ticket becomes a chance to win cash prizes totaling $4,500. Drawings will be held live on the Chamber’s Facebook page on November 24 and December 1, 8 and 15.
Since its beginning, more than 280,000 tickets have been distributed, adding up to $7.2 million in local spending. The campaign brings excitement to supporting hometown shops.
“This is such a fun way to encourage shopping local,” said Sarah Schultz with the Aiken Chamber. “It creates a buzz around town and reminds everyone how connected we are here.”
