City of Menifee launches 'Shop Small Bingo' campaign

Press release from the City of Menifee:

MENIFEE -- The City of Menifee is thrilled to announce the annual "Shop Small Bingo" campaign, a charming initiative designed to encourage community members to shop locally this holiday season. Running from Nov. 1 to Dec. 16, this program aims to emphasize the importance of supporting small businesses that are vital to the local economy.

Research shows that when consumers shop locally, approximately 68 percent of every dollar spent stays within the community, supporting local jobs, services, and the overall economic health of Menifee. Each purchase at local businesses not only helps those entrepreneurs thrive but also contributes to the community’s infrastructure, programming, and emergency services.

Participants can obtain a Bingo card filled with activities centered around visiting and engaging with Menifee's diverse local businesses online at www.menifeebusiness.com/shop-local. Those who fully complete the Bingo card will win some exciting Menifee swag items.

“Shopping local not only helps our small businesses thrive but also strengthens our community as a whole and our ability to deliver top-tier public safety, parks, community events and programs, and roadway and landscape maintenance to our residents,” said Bryan Jones, Assistant City Manager. “Our Shop Small Bingo game is a creative way to encourage residents to support their favorite local spots and discover new ones, investing in Menifee’s future. Every dollar spent locally strengthens our economy and enhances our community’s vibrancy. Join us in making a meaningful impact.”

The game is open to all residents and visitors, highlighting the unique offerings of Menifee’s small businesses and entrepreneurs. Players are encouraged to share their experiences on social media using the hashtag #ShopSmallMenifee to inspire others to join in. In addition to the Bingo game, the City will showcase local businesses through various promotional efforts, including a social media campaign.
