In today’s world, local shopping initiatives are in demand.
Community businesses and consumers can take part in this exciting concept through membership participation. As a benefit of membership, OUR Community Dollar™
(OC$) can be spent as partial or full payment for goods and services offered by participating businesses.
About OUR Community Dollar™
In today’s world, local shopping initiatives are very much in demand. The OUR Community Dollar Program™ is being relaunched and is coming back stronger and better than ever! The first time the concept was used was in 2009 and it lasted for 2.5 years. The program was discontinued due to the economic climate of that time.
The current relaunch is based on a team of three experienced business minded Founders. With the software available today, along with effective social media platforms and other means of communication, everything is in place to meet the economic challenges of today!
The program is in pre-launch, and will connect shoppers and local businesses.
The OUR Community Dollar™, printed on paper, is commonly abbreviated as “OC$” and is positioned in front of the posted pricing (ie: OC$ 90).
We believe A Prosperous Community is a Vibrant Community
In today’s times, businesses are struggling, and consumers are looking for creative ways to maintain a quality of living for their families and loved ones.
Connecting family owned and creative home-based businesses with prospective customers is the aim of the program. The program will also assist local restaurants, retail, and service-based businesses. Creative systems of engagement with non-profits and cultural initiatives will be an integral aspect of our mandate.
Simply stated… Positive connections produce positive outcomes!
