Discover Victoria Texas will launch its annual “Yule Love Shopping Victoria!” mobile promotion Nov. 15, offering a chance to win prizes while exploring local shopping opportunities in Victoria.
The program, now in its fifth year, is a free promotion available to visitors and residents alike. Participants will have a wide variety of local businesses to choose from when the program launches, and City staff hope to add more as the event progresses.
“The wonderful thing about this promotion is that anyone can participate and our businesses will see increased foot traffic and exposure to new customers,” said Discover Victoria Texas Assistant Director Liz Tise. “We have several new businesses participating in this year’s promotion, so residents can look forward to discovering new places to shop.”
The promotion is hosted through Bandwango, a software platform used to create mobile passes that incentivize users to visit businesses and other locations.
How it works
Participants who sign up for the “Yule Love Shopping Victoria!” mobile pass at www.discovervictoriatexas.com can check in at participating businesses to be entered into a drawing for one of five gift bags filled with items from local retailers and restaurants.
Each check-in counts as an entry, so residents can visit all participating retailers for the best chance to win.
Any participants with five check-ins will win a limited edition “Yule Love Shopping Victoria!” T-shirt. T-shirt orders can be submitted through the Bandwango platform.
The last day to check in will be Dec. 18. The drawing for the gift bags will take place Dec. 19. City staff will contact winners.
