Shopping and dining at local businesses in Alexandria just became even more rewarding. Residents and visitors can now earn rewards by shopping and dining small throughout the City through the new ALX Open Rewards program.
Sponsored by AEDP and hosted on the Bludot Open Rewards app, the initiative encourages shoppers to support small businesses across Alexandria.
“Bringing Open Rewards to Alexandria is a way to promote the many amazing small businesses that our City is known for and to encourage everyone here to support local,” said AEDP Director of Small Business and Entrepreneurship Cristina Amoruso.
To participate in the program, users download the Open Rewards app and follow the instructions there to connect their payment cards or submit receipts to earn rewards. Consumers can then use those rewards against future purchases at local Alexandria restaurants, retailers, and personal-service-based businesses such as salons.
AEDP covers all costs related to the program–there is no cost to businesses or consumers who use the app.
“We’re looking forward to helping businesses boost customer awareness while offering locals a new way to shop and small. This pilot program gives us the chance to spread some local love in more ways than one!” said Amoruso.
