WINTER AMBASSADOR PROGRAM: BENEFIT CALLOUT

We're gearing up for our Winter Ambassador Program and are seeking benefit contributions to promote your businesses! Providing a benefit not only helps us incentivize the program, it offers your business a unique opportunity to connect with new and returning seasonal staff, as well as showing appreciation for longer-term residents. By offering a special perk or discount, you not only encourage these individuals to spend their money with you, you're also boosting your visibility amongst a new generation of Ambassadors. It's a chance to make a lasting impression that could lead to repeat business and positive word-of-mouth referrals. Click here to learn more and submit an incentive contribution form.
