In Q4 2014, we had almost 50 participating vendors/events in the booklet and it was our goal to at least double that for 2015. It's great to say that we have roughly 120 participating businesses now. This incarnation of the booklet includes stores from overseas in the UK and France, the addition of musicians, authors, new events and hundreds of dollars in savings.
If you're not familiar with what how it works, it's like this: the coupon booklet is packed full of coupons from small businesses and events. You buy the booklet and then get to redeem the coupons inside for savings at the participating stores/places. Most of our vendors are online sellers so you can shop from anywhere for the interwebs cover the world!
The awesome part about the booklet is that it not only supports the vendors and small-business community, a portion of the proceeds get donated to Dreamhaven Park as well as the Black Knight Society (historical re-enactment & education non-profit). Last year, this stream of our fundraising efforts brought in ~$250 - not bad for a first time effort that only had a couple months to get out there. :)
Righto, my wingéd friends - until next time!
