The campaign will be supported with in store posters, counter stands and an entry box, whereby shoppers can drop off their entry form (but only on Thursdays), for their chance to win a monthly gift hamper. Now, see who’s participating!

Joanne Tate, Chairperson of the Healesville Chamber of Commerce and the dedicated committee, secured funding from the Shire of Yarra Ranges to devise and implement this promotion to help businesses and encourage locals to buy local.

Every Thursday, commencing this week, and until the end of winter, participating traders offer a “Secret” discount or item heavily reduced item.

The campaign will be supported with in store posters, counter stands and an entry box, whereby shoppers can drop off their entry form (but only on Thursdays), for their chance to win a monthly gift hamper.

The street will be alive with purple “?” balloons displayed outside the front of participating businesses. At least twenty businesses have signed up in the first week and vary from coffee stores, butcher, winery tour company, jeweler, boutique stores, opportunity shops, travel shop, and many more. So make sure you look out for the posters and find out what they are offering.

The offers will vary from store to store and on most occasions – week to week.
