Merchant Info

You’re passionate about your business, and it thrives when your neighbourhood does. That’s where Shop the Block comes in.

Introducing Shop the Block – a discount card that provides consumers with endless savings and drives increased traffic to local independent businesses.

Becoming a participating merchant is FREE – we simply require a one-year commitment to provide our members with a modest discount each time they present their card at checkout.

In return you get:

Competitive advantage
Increase sales when local consumers choose to shop at your store instead of at national chains or non-participating, local merchants.
 
Consumer loyalty
Boost sales when consumers return to your store again and again and purchase more from you knowing they are being rewarded for their loyalty.
 
Exposure
Attract new consumers to your store through your free listing on our website identifying you as a participating merchant.
 
Free promotion
Have your store, products and services featured in our editorial newsletter, which also provides the opportunity to let consumers know about special offers and business news.

Participation is easy – no staff training, no technical requirements. Merchants will be provided with a window sticker identifying them as a participating business as well as a tent card to be placed at the cash.
