Community Card Discounts for Shopping Locally
By SBB | Thursday, December 10, 2009

A Columbus business is providing a way for people to shop locally and keep their money in their own community.  Small Business Beanstalk is allowing anyone to obtain their new “Community Card”. The card is free to obtain and provides locals with great deals at independent businesses located in and around the Columbus area, including the Short North, Clintonville, Dublin, Gahanna, and beyond. You can sign up for your own community card here and check out the full list of destinations and discounts here.  No word on whether or not they will be providing such discounts for local businesses in the Lima area anytime soon.

The SBB is a local-first company that leverages connections of all types to support business and community growth. We use problem solving, networking, and relationship-building techniques to grow small businesses through a unique combination of matchmaking and concierge services.

The SBB also connects local retail businesses to our Neighbors, a broad base of active consumers from all throughout the Columbus community. The SBB makes this easier with The SBB card, which provides discounts at independent retailers, restaurants and bars in neighborhoods throughout central Ohio.

We believe there is real, fiscal value when local businesses support other local businesses and when consumers shop local.
