Shop at Bristol Independents this Christmas. Collect stamps. Win prizes!

The Bristol Independents Christmas loyalty card allows you to collect stamps while you do your Christmas shopping one stamp per purchase, plus a bonus stamp if you pay in Bristol Pounds. When you’ve collected 5 stamps you can enter your card into a prize draw to win fabulous prizes from participating independents.

There are currently around 90 businesses signed-up and 35 prizes but we expect both lists to grow between now and when traders stop stamping on Christmas Eve. For any quick-off-the-mark shoppers, there are two pairs of New Year’s Eve tickets at Lakota to be won by the first two people to upload their completed loyalty cards to the Bristol Independents website.

Shopping independently this Christmas lets you avoid the horrors of crowded out-of-town shopping malls, or the anonymity of the online giants. Everyone gets great Christmas presents, and anyone entering the draw gets a chance to win themselves something nice for the New Year it is a win-win-win situation

The loyalty card is a joint promotion between Bristol Independents, Bristol Pound and the Federation of Small Businesses Keep Trade Local campaign.

You can pick up your card at any of the participating businesses, or at the Tourist Information Centre on the harbourside.  Local Gloucester Road shops that have signed up so far include –
