As the holidays approach, the Livonia Chamber of Commerce has introduced a new way to give the people in your life a variety of gifts and keep the money in the community: Loving Livonia Business gift certificates!
Over $100 billion is spent on gift cards annually, which is why Loving Livonia Business gift certificates are great for local shoppers. Different than most gift cards, these certificates can be purchased online and be used at a variety of local restaurants and retail stores. They make for great gifts for everyone. It’s an easy way to get something for those you love in the community you love.
The program begins with 13 restaurants and retailers, but more will be added in the coming weeks.
Some of the merchants that accept the gift certificates are Andiamo Livonia, Bill & Rod’s Appliance, Cebella’s Pizza, Colleen’s Gaelic Gifts, Detroit Bagel Company, George Murphy’s at the Creek, Great Lakes Pizza Company, M.I. Slingers Bar and Grill, My Hobby Place & Toys, O’Malley’s Bar & Grill, The UPS Store #3011, Verant’s Salon and What’s the Name Gift Store. A full list of participating businesses and their addresses can be found at www.livonia.org. All participating companies are members of the Livonia Chamber of Commerce.
“It’s a no brainer,” said Jared Chapman, owner of Jared Chapman State Farm Agency and chamber member. “While growing my business, I get to help other businesses by using Loving Livonia Business gift certificates for my referral program. It is a win-win across the board. Support Livonia business. Stay in Livonia. Shop in Livonia.”
In addition to company referral programs, more than 80% of corporations use gift cards for their employee recognition programs. The Loving Livonia Business gift certificates allow Livonia-based corporations to reward hard work while supporting the local economy.
“We are excited to add this to our many benefits of being a Livonia Chamber of Commerce member,” said Dawnne Toppa, vice president of the Livonia Chamber of Commerce. “Bringing the community inside our members’ businesses and allowing them to showcase what they have to offer.”
Available in $5, $10, $20 and $25 denominations, Loving Livonia Business gift certificates are easy to purchase at www.livonia.org or on the Livonia Chamber’s Facebook page. Buyers have a choice to email it to themselves or email the gift to someone else.
Additional businesses can still sign up for this free program by contacting the Chamber’s vice president, Dawnne Toppa, at 734.427.2122 or toppa@livonia.org.
