Happy New Year from The Mason Agency
Dear Community,
At the start of the pandemic, there was much uncertainty in our community. We witnessed local businesses layoff their staff and shut their doors for an unknown amount of time. We saw our local service industries modify their way of doing business to accommodate community health guidelines. We observed much insecurity in our community due to the pandemic. Our agency wanted to create a spark of optimism while contributing to local businesses and our local economy.
In May 2020, we purchased a handful of gift cards from local businesses and started a Facebook gift card raffle. Since then, our agency gave away 86 gift cards valued at $2,200.00 to local businesses from May 2020 through December 2021. Winners were chosen randomly and were all local community members.
Whether it was a gift card to Scoups Ice Cream & Soup Bar or The Bus Boy Mobile Cuisine, we found that our social media followers enjoyed entering the raffle. In addition, their friends/family who were not followers of our Facebook page began to join in. Finally, in late 2020, after marketing our Facebook posts on Carson Now, we found that many participants joined the campaign after seeing our social media posts on Carson Now.
We would like to thank everyone who participated in our weekly gift card giveaways. This would not have been special without you.
In 2022, we plan to invest in our community in a different manner. We look forward to helping make Carson City and the surrounding communities a better place.
Sincerely,
The Mason Agency
