"We've made a few changes to improve the contest for everyone," said Peter Capponi (The Jewel Box), chairman of the Rome Chamber's Retail Promotion Committee. "We've committed more money to advertising to give our 50 supporting stores more exposure. We expanded the number of prize bundles to 24, to give more shoppers a chance to win great prizes just in time for Christmas. Contest entry forms will be published in local and regional papers and available online at ShopRomeFirst.com. Shoppers can bring their entry forms to 40 stores that will collect them using our Shop Rome First contest entry drop boxes. And all 24 contest winners will be selected on one day, Tuesday, December 22."
Thanks to ALL stores listed below for donating prizes with a total value of $11,124.00 (Rome Chamber members are listed in bold).
Find Contest Entry Drop Boxes on display, except at locations marked with (*). No purchase necessary, but certainly encouraged!
