Crusader Vouchers

Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Nope, just shopping I'm afraid, but a marvellous idea to help small businesses locally!

With a striking superhero comic-book themed corporate identity, a small group of marketing agents have donned cloaks and set up a voucher system in support of our local high streets.

Claire Rowlands runs Fundraising in the Community, a local company dedicated to supporting businesses, while helping schools, groups, charities and organisations raise funds. They plan to launch Crusader Vouchers as a subsidiary to FITC Media. As it sounds, it's a voucher-based concept akin to the website Groupon, but for local small businesses, the ones hit hardest by the lockdown.

Fundraising in the Community is a quality, professional service that offers a unique platform with a tailored audience to help drive prospective new business through the doors of local companies; while helping schools, charities, clubs and organisations within the community fundraise for their good causes.

Their voucher idea launches this October (14th), and asks you to "put on your mask, grab your vouchers, support local businesses and bag yourself the best deals in town!" They have a website, but the majority of action is via Facebook, so like their page, where you'll be able to access monthly vouchers for independent shops and small businesses throughout the South West.

These crusaders of independent shopping say, "the offers that we provide are free for everyone to enjoy, no catches, just straight forward vouchers to take advantage of each month for local small businesses and independent businesses. Due to Covid-19 our businesses need us more than ever so we're appealing to you to put your mask on, grab your vouchers, buy local and bag yourself the best deals in town!"

Like any new scheme, it'll only work if people get behind it. So please do, everyone loves a voucher!
