Local firm BrandGOV, working in conjunction with Solano County, will kick off a new venture, Shop Solano, this week, just as the holiday shopping season starts.
The program features an online directory of Solano County small businesses and any shopping incentives they offer; a listing of job opportunities at those businesses and at community, government and private sector agencies; and a posting of other neighborhood resources. Soon, Shop Solano will also include an e-gift card deal where shoppers who buy a $100 card will get a $25 bonus card for free.
“I want to emphasize this is not simply a local shopping-incentive endeavor; it’s much more,” says BrandGOV CEO K. Patrice Williams. “The program is meant to help increase sales at our local businesses and provide resources, such as job and other community-based information. This can be used to better the health and wellbeing of county residents, increasing their economic stability.”
