Spend $22 On Sept. 22 In Collingswood To Help Local Economy: Officials

Collingswood, NJ -- Collingswood and Camden County are co-hosting a town-wide shopping event that includes discounts and giveaways as part of the county’s “Shop Local Campaign,” borough officials announced on Wednesday.

The event will take place on Sept. 22, and the goal is to bring in an influx of shoppers who will each spend $22 at local businesses.

“The influx of cash from hundreds of shoppers can have an immediate impact on a community,” officials said in a release.

The event will end with a reception at The Pop Shop Party Room where shoppers can enjoy food, refreshments, wine, giveaways, door prizes and a Collingswood Cash grand prize. Participants must bring receipts totaling $22 or more in Collingswood-purchased goods or services for admission and to be entered for prizes.

“If each household in Camden County transitions just $10 per month of their out-of-county retail spending to in-county spending, the economic benefit to the county would be approximately $35 million per year,” officials said. “In Collingswood that economic impact could reach $1.1 million. Camden County and Collingswood teamed up for cash mob events for the past few years that have brought hundreds of shoppers and thousands of dollars to Collingswood merchants.”
