A new Great Gift Card Giveaway campaign is due to go live in Gloucester on 30th June, giving people a chance to instantly win a Gloucester Gift Card as a reward for shopping local. 

Between 30th June and 13th July, businesses who are part of the Gloucester Gift Card will be handing out small cards to their customers featuring a QR code linking to an online game which will reveal if the customer has won a Gloucester Gift Card or a discount off a Gloucester Gift Card. 

£350 in Gloucester Gift Cards and discounts will be given away during the campaign with 26 prizes available; 2 x £50 Gloucester Gift Cards. 4 x £25 Gloucester Gift Cards. 10 x £10 off £20 Gloucester Gift Card codes and 10 x £5 off £10 Gloucester Gift Cards codes.

Gloucester’s gift card was introduced by Gloucester Business Improvement District (BID) in November 2019 as a way to encourage local shopping and keep spend locked into the area. Over 160 national and independent businesses in the city, including at Gloucester Quays, Gloucester Food Dock, accept the card.

Claire Knight, Marketing & Business Engagement Lead at Gloucester BID said the Great Gift Card Giveaway aligns with their mission to champion local businesses in the city:

“This will be our second Great Gift Card Giveaway in Gloucester. The first campaign was a great success, giving people an extra incentive to get out exploring the city and our amazing local businesses. We’re excited to give local residents another chance to win a Gloucester Gift Card, or a discount off a card, just for supporting local in our latest campaign kicking off on 30th June. The Gloucester Gift Card is going from strength to strength with more businesses than ever accepting the card, and more people than ever before buying it too. All you have to do is shop local for a chance to win, it’s simple and a fun campaign to get involved in this spring.”

The Gloucester Gift Card is part of the award-winning Town & City Gift Card concept from fintech Miconex, active across the UK and Ireland. 

Colin Munro is the CEO of Miconex and said:

“It’s great to see the Great Gift Card Giveaway go live in Gloucester once more - giving people the chance to win the ultimate ‘shop local Gift Card. With over 160 businesses backing the card, it’s a card that works for every age and interest.”
