As businesses and restaurants are ordered to keep people out of their shops, many have come up with some creative ways to bring in some much-needed revenue.
Here are some of my favorite creative offers from Portland businesses and restaurants I’ve seen so far. I will note that not all of these are cheap. At this time, I am being flexible with the pricing on activities and items in order to highlight local businesses who need our support.
Have you seen a creative offer lately or are you a local business owner who wants to share what you have to offer? Send me an email!
Before we get to the list, here are some things you can be doing right now to help local businesses:
- Buy gift cards and take out items.
- Purchase merch. Many shops have t-shirts, stickers and other branded items you can buy via online stores.
- Share posts on social about your favorite businesses to help them generate more customers.
