Ashbourne Local Loyalty Cards

On 8th June, Ashbourne will be launching a Shop Local loyalty card scheme, rewarding shoppers for their purchases at participating retailers in the town.

Pachacuti is delighted to be participating in the Ashbourne loyalty card scheme as this is an idea which I have been talking about for years! Shopping locally brings huge financial benefits to the local economy. Every £1 spent with a local supplier is worth £1.76 to the local economy, but only 36p if it is spent out of the area. The card costs £5 and can then be used in any of the shops to accrue points. Pachacuti will be donating profits from the sale of our cards to renovating the homes of our elderly panama hat weavers who always complain about the poor state of repair of their small adobe houses whenever I visit them in Ecuador. Pachacuti will be offering a £10 voucher for every 100 points spent in our shop, with 1 point earnt per £1 spent.
