March 11, 2024 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Occoquan, Virginia
Prince William County non-profit, Visit Occoquan, is launching a new shop local program to support the independent small businesses in the Town of Occoquan. The new Visit Occoquan Gift Card is a Mastercard gift card that will universally work at all participating businesses in Occoquan. "The beauty of this gift card is in its diversity. You're supporting small businesses in Occoquan, while giving the recipient of the card the flexibility of where to shop and dine. It's a great way for people to support the local economy and the families who own and run businesses in town." said Sarah Burzio, Vice President of Visit Occoquan.
Shop small supporters can purchase Visit Occoquan Gift Cards by visiting visitoccoquanva.com/giftcard. They will see a listing of local businesses that accept the card, plus business contact information, a map with pin locations, and an online order form. Gift Cards can conveniently be purchased as virtual e-cards for immediate access on phones and computers, or through a traditional plastic card, mailed to the recipient. Both options run just like a credit card, making it easy for customers and businesses to participate in the program.
"The Visit Occoquan Gift Card will help keep money in our community, while giving people flexibility on where to spend it. It makes a great teacher, co-worker, or graduation gift." said Burzio. Bulk orders for companies or individuals who need to purchase larger amounts are also available. “Many local employers want to do something nice for their employees, but end up settling on gift cards from large companies, because they're overwhelmed with which single local business to choose,” said Burzio. “Now we have the perfect option that supports tons of small businesses, with one convenient purchase.”
This free program is open to all Occoquan businesses and includes shops, restaurants, service providers, and online retailers. Visit Occoquan volunteers donated time to set up the program, allowing business owners to participate with no out-of-pocket costs.
