I would like to convey to the merchants of Downtown Bowmanville that I think it is a good idea to have a contest at Christmas to promote shopping downtown. However, However, I think it would be an even better idea if they reverted reverted to their previous prizes prizes of Merchant Money (to be spent only in downtown Bowmanville, of course). It is rather hard to whip up enthusiasm enthusiasm for a contest where you don't know what the prizes are. When you win merchant money the prize can be whatever you choose. And that pretty exciting! One merchant mentioned to me that he thought there had been a problem with people keeping the merchant money ana not using it. This would create an ongoing debt which has to be held on the books. It would not be unreasonable to print an expiry expiry date on the merchant money, in the same way as is done with some credit notes or gift certificates. My husband and I have been here long enough to remember remember when the first prize was $1000. in merchant money. We spent a long time dreaming of how we would spend it if we were lucky enough to win and we spent every Saturday in town at the stores trying to win it. This year when we found out it was just for unspecified unspecified prizes, we did not even bother to fill in one ballot. Nor did it encourage us to make any special effort to go into town. So I do hope the merchants will keep this in mind when they are considering considering their next promotion. To end on a positive note, I would like to say that we have been pleased to see the "sprucing up" which has taken taken place downtown over the last while - particularly at the Strike & Strike building. It also seemed to us that more merchants this year wore making an effort to have a Christmas display or decorations in their windows. windows. This certainly adds to the festive mood and the merchants are to be applauded applauded for their initiative. Sincerely, Evylin Stroud.
