- What Are Chamber Bucks?
- Chamber Bucks are a valid bank check that spends just like cash and can be used at any Machias Bay Area Chamber member business. The program is designed to promote community members to "Shop Locally First."
- Chamber Bucks make great gifts! Consumers can purchase Bucks for birthday gifts, wedding gifts, gifts for moms, dads, grads, college students, and for holiday gift-giving. The Bucks can be used to purchase merchandise, products, and services at nearly 200 businesses in the greater Machias Bay Area.
- How Does the Program Work?
- Chamber Bucks are like super gift certificates that are purchased at the Chamber office and spent at a Chamber Member business. After receiving a Chamber Buck check for payment of products or services, the Chamber Member processes it for deposit as they would any other check.
- What Denominations are Available?
- Chamber Bucks are issued as $5 or $10 checks.
- How Do Chamber Members Join the Program?
- To be involved, you don't have to do anything. This membership benefit is available to all of our current members, without charge. The Chamber will promote the program and provide purchasers with a list of member businesses (free advertising for our members).
- How Can I Learn More?
- Just phone the Chamber office at 207-255-4402, or send us an email to info@machiaschamber.org. We will gladly send you an information packet, promotional signs for your store, and brochures to hand out to customers.
