Hi folks and thank you for visting my thread.

I run a couple of businesses thorughout Northern Ireland and went into this new venture last month. I named it My Local Voucher.

My local voucher was founded by me in May 2009.
I sat down and thought -
How could I beat the recession?

Easy! - Advertising!

But advertising in what way? There are many people out there that place ads in Newspapers : Forums : Delivered Business Cards.

But how long does this actually stick around for????:rolleyes:

Business cards get thrown away and Newspapers get recycled.

So then I thought. The public want to save money so I came up with the idea of a priviledge card.

The priviledge card will allow the general public to show this card and get what ever offer the business is having that week and beating the competition around them.

For example - How many bars are there in Belfast - Couple of hundred?
So what about if my local voucher presents the offer of just 2 bars in belfast selling pints on a Tuesday at £1.
Yes thats right - The public will go there to avail of that offer!

Here are a few points that might gover this -

Facts and Figures


We aim to go to print on the 22nd of July 2009 of over 20,000 PVC Cards
