Shoppers in Pudsey will soon be rewarded for staying local thanks to a new reward card scheme being launched this week.

The ‘Shop Local’ reward card is a first for the town and is designed to encourage more shoppers to use the local retailers.

Six stamps from six different retailers are needed over the month, then shoppers can take it in person to Pudsey One Stop Centre and post it in the box provided and be entered into a draw at the end of the month to win £50 of vouchers.

People can enter as many times as they like, so there is no limit to the number of chances to win, and there is no minimum spend limit to receive a stamp, says Nigel Conder.

As well as the reward card, businesses in the Pudsey Business Forum have also developed a shop local magazine and website at shopinpudsey.co.uk
